Including filter system and high-performance Shigella filter.
Shigella is a bacterium that can enter household water through contamination from human waste via cross-connections, backflow, or breaks in the distribution system. Because it can cause illness at low exposures, any notice about Shigella is taken seriously by homeowners. Even with municipal treatment, problems can occur between the plant and your tap in Lake Placid, so many residents choose a whole-house strategy to keep water quality consistent throughout their home.
Questions about Shigella in drinking water often arise after boil-water advisories, plumbing incidents, or community contamination alerts. Bacterial contamination doesn’t change taste or smell, so you can’t rely on senses to spot it—especially in humid subtropical areas like Highlands County where hard groundwater is common. That uncertainty leads many Lake Placid families to seek a clear, whole-house plan for microbial protection as water enters the home.
For controlling Shigella throughout the house, the most effective single option is a UV water disinfection system. UV works by exposing microbes to concentrated ultraviolet light that prevents them from reproducing. It’s a chemical-free method that treats all water on the main line rather than just one faucet, and when sized correctly for your home’s flow rate it provides solid protection against bacteria like Shigella.
Because UV needs clear water to work well, many Lake Placid homes pair UV disinfection with prefiltration to remove sediment and reduce cloudiness that can shield microbes. The UV chamber on the main line is the primary control for Shigella, but reliable performance depends on correct sizing, a steady power supply, and regular lamp changes. Mr. Pure Water can help you select and size a whole-house UV system to match your plumbing and the hard groundwater conditions common in the area.
