Including filter system and high-performance Shigella filter.
Shigella is a bacterium that can enter drinking water when sewage or human waste contaminates the system—often via cross-connections, backflow, or breaks in the distribution lines. Because only a small number of cells can cause illness, local homeowners in Tangelo Park and the greater Orange County area take any notice seriously. Even if your community water is treated at the plant, contamination can occur between the plant and your faucet; a whole-house approach gives consistent protection for showers, toilets, laundry and all taps inside your home.
Reports of Shigella in household water most commonly follow boil-water advisories, plumbing repairs, or wider distribution problems. Bacterial contamination doesn’t change taste or smell in a reliable way, so you can’t depend on senses alone to know your water is safe. That uncertainty leads many Tangelo Park families to install a whole-house plan so they have protection right where the water enters the house, providing peace of mind in our humid subtropical climate and hard-water conditions.
The single most effective whole-house option for Shigella is a UV water disinfection system. UV systems expose microorganisms to a precise dose of ultraviolet light that prevents them from reproducing, treating all the water entering your Tangelo Park home without relying on chemical additives or individual faucet filters. When sized correctly for your household flow rate, a UV unit offers robust control against bacteria such as Shigella.
Because central Florida groundwater tends to be hard and can carry sediment that causes cloudiness, a UV chamber is often paired with a prefilter to remove particles so the light can reach microbes effectively. The UV chamber on the main line is the component that provides Shigella control; its ongoing effectiveness depends on proper sizing, an uninterrupted power supply, and regular lamp replacement. Mr. Pure Water can help Tangelo Park homeowners choose and size a whole-house UV system that fits local plumbing and water conditions.
