Including filter system and high-performance Pseudomonas filter.
Pseudomonas refers to a group of bacteria that can persist in household plumbing when conditions let them survive and multiply. Pseudomonas aeruginosa in particular is known for creating slimy biofilms on damp surfaces and inside fixtures, which makes it tougher to wash away than many other microbes. You may spot recurring odors, a slippery film, or buildup around Hanson faucets, showerheads, or aerators—especially in areas where water sits or flow is low.
Because Pseudomonas commonly lives in biofilms, it isn’t always resolved with a single cleaning. It can hide in faucet screens, hoses, humid spots, and parts of plumbing where disinfectant levels are low. Homeowners with sensitive skin often want cleaner water for bathing and everyday use. For Hanson residences concerned about unhealthy levels of Pseudomonas in their supply, a whole-home strategy helps reduce exposure from every tap and fixture.
The most effective single-filter whole-house treatment for Pseudomonas is a UV (ultraviolet) disinfection system installed at the point where water enters the home. UV inactivates microbes as water flows through the chamber without adding chemicals, making it a good match for bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Because it treats all incoming water, a properly sized UV system helps protect Hanson families during showering, tooth brushing, and washing—though performance depends on water clarity and correct sizing for your home’s flow.
A UV unit is commonly used with a sediment prefilter to prevent particles from shielding organisms from the light, while the UV lamp is the main defense against microbial contamination. With correct installation and routine lamp and sleeve upkeep, UV offers steady whole-house protection without altering taste or odor. If Pseudomonas has contributed to biofilm in fixtures, cleaning or replacing aerators and showerheads after UV installation can help; Mr. Pure Water can design a whole-house UV solution tailored to Hanson homes so treated water reaches every bathroom, kitchen, and hose bib.
