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 grow. One common type, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, often produces slimy biofilms on damp surfaces and inside fixtures, which makes it harder to wash away than many other microbes. In Lewis homes you may notice recurring odors, a slippery film, or buildup around faucets, showerheads, and aerators when biofilms form in low-flow or stagnant areas.
Because Pseudomonas commonly lives in biofilms, fixing the issue can require more than a single cleaning. The bacteria can hide in faucet screens, hoses, humid spots, and plumbing sections where disinfectant levels are low. Homeowners with sensitive skin or recurring fixture problems in Lewis often look to improve whole-house water hygiene so every shower, sink, and appliance sees treated water. If you’re worried about unhealthy levels of Pseudomonas in your supply, taking a whole-home approach helps reduce exposure at every tap.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for removing Pseudomonas is a UV (ultraviolet) disinfection system installed at the point where water enters your Lewis home. UV inactivates microbes as water passes through the chamber without adding chemicals, making it a good fit for bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Because UV treats all incoming water, it lowers the chance of exposure during showering, brushing teeth, and washing; just be sure the system is sized correctly and the water is clear enough for reliable performance.
UV disinfection is usually used with a sediment prefilter to prevent particles from blocking the light, while the UV unit provides the microbial control. With proper installation and routine lamp and sleeve care, a UV system delivers consistent whole-house treatment without changing your water’s taste or odor. If biofilm from Pseudomonas has affected fixtures, cleaning or replacing aerators and showerheads after adding UV will help; Mr. Pure Water can recommend a UV setup sized for Lewis homes so treated water reaches every bathroom, kitchen, and hose bib.
