Including filter system and high-performance Pseudomonas filter.
Pseudomonas refers to bacteria that can persist and grow in household plumbing when conditions allow. One common species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, often forms slimy biofilms on damp surfaces and inside pipes or fixtures, making it tougher to wash away than many other microbes. In Holley homes you may first spot recurring odors, a slick film, or buildup around showerheads, faucets, or aerators—especially where water sits or flow is low.
Because Pseudomonas commonly lives in biofilms, removing it isn’t always a quick, one-time fix. It can hide in faucet screens, hoses, humid spots, and parts of the plumbing where disinfectant levels are lower. Households with people who have sensitive skin or weakened immune systems often choose to improve overall water hygiene for bathing and daily use. If you’re worried about Pseudomonas in Holley’s household water, treating the whole house can reduce exposure at every tap.
For whole-house protection against Pseudomonas, the single most effective filter type is a UV (ultraviolet) disinfection system installed at the point where water enters your home. UV inactivates microbes as water passes through its chamber without adding chemicals, making it a good fit for bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Because it treats all incoming water, a properly sized UV system helps lower exposure during showering, toothbrushing, and washing—just be sure the unit matches your home’s flow requirements and water clarity.
A UV unit is most effective when used with a sediment prefilter to remove particles that could shield organisms from the light; the UV lamp itself is the main microbial control. With correct installation and routine lamp and sleeve maintenance, UV delivers consistent whole-house treatment without altering taste or odor. If biofilm has already formed in fixtures, cleaning or replacing aerators and showerheads after installing UV will help—Mr. Pure Water can design a UV system sized for Holley households so treated water reaches every bathroom, kitchen, and outdoor hose bib.
