Including filter system and high-performance Pseudomonas filter.
Pseudomonas is a group of bacteria that can establish itself in household plumbing when conditions let it survive and multiply. One species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is known for creating slimy biofilms on damp surfaces and inside pipes and fixtures, which makes it tougher to wash away than many microbes—especially where water sits or flow is slow. In Peck homes you might first notice recurring odors, a slippery film, or buildup on faucet aerators, showerheads, and other damp spots.
Because Pseudomonas commonly lives in biofilms, tackling it can require more than a quick cleaning. It can persist in faucet screens, hoses, humid areas, and plumbing sections with low disinfectant residual. Homeowners who have sensitive skin or who want cleaner water for bathing and daily use often choose a whole-home strategy to reduce exposure. If you’re worried about unhealthy levels of Pseudomonas in Peck’s household water, treating all incoming water can help protect every tap.
For whole-house control of Pseudomonas, the most effective single-filter option is a UV (ultraviolet) disinfection system installed at the point where water enters the home. UV inactivates microbes as water flows through the UV chamber without adding chemicals, making it a strong choice for bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Because it treats all incoming water, a properly sized UV system helps reduce exposure during showering, tooth brushing, and washing—important for families across Peck. Keep in mind UV needs clear water and correct sizing to perform well.
A UV unit is usually used with a sediment prefilter to prevent particles from shading organisms from the light, while the UV lamp provides the core microbial treatment. With correct installation and regular lamp and sleeve maintenance, UV delivers consistent whole-house protection without altering taste or odor. If biofilm has already formed in fixtures, cleaning or replacing aerators and showerheads after installing UV will improve results. Mr. Pure Water can help Peck homeowners choose and size a whole-house UV system so treated water reaches every bathroom, kitchen, and outdoor tap.
