Including filter system and high-performance Pseudomonas filter.
Pseudomonas is a family of bacteria that can persist in household plumbing when conditions let them survive and grow. One species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, commonly forms slimy biofilms on damp surfaces and inside pipes and fixtures, which makes it tougher to wash away than many other microbes. In McKinnon homes you might first notice recurring odors, a slimy film, or buildup around faucets, showerheads, or aerators where water tends to sit or flow slowly.
Because Pseudomonas often hides within biofilms, treating it can require more than a one-time flush of the system. It can colonize faucet screens, hoses, humid areas, and plumbing zones with low disinfectant residual, so homeowners with sensitive skin or frequent skin irritation often look to improve whole-home water hygiene. If you’re worried about unhealthy levels of Pseudomonas in McKinnon’s household water, taking a whole-house approach helps reduce exposure at every tap and during daily activities like bathing and brushing teeth.
For whole-house control of Pseudomonas, the most effective single-filter solution is an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system installed at the main water entry. UV inactivates microbes as water flows through the chamber without adding chemicals, making it a good fit for bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and for treating all incoming water used throughout a McKinnon home. Because UV performance depends on water clarity and proper sizing, it’s important to select a unit matched to your household flow and conditions.
A UV system is normally used with a sediment prefilter to prevent particles from shading organisms from the UV light, while the UV lamp is the primary tool for microbial control. With correct installation and regular lamp and sleeve maintenance, UV provides consistent whole-house treatment without altering taste or odor. If biofilm has formed in fixtures, cleaning or replacing aerators and showerheads after UV installation helps, and Mr. Pure Water can recommend a UV setup sized for McKinnon homes so treated water reaches every bathroom, kitchen, and outdoor tap.
