Including filter system and high-performance Waterborne Viruses filter.
Waterborne viruses can reach household supplies when sewage, animal waste, or stressed treatment systems affect a source. Because these viruses are microscopic, they usually don’t change the look, smell, or taste of water, so problems can go unnoticed. In Altha, many homeowners choose an extra layer of protection beyond standard treatment to help guard the water used for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth.
Viruses differ from sediment or taste-and-odor concerns because they’re far smaller and can pass through filters designed only to catch particles; they’re also not the same as larger bacteria. If you want greater confidence in the water throughout your Altha home, consider treatment and filtration selected specifically for microbial reduction where the water first enters the house.
A whole-house UV disinfection system is commonly the single most effective treatment to help control waterborne viruses at the main service line. UV systems expose flowing water to ultraviolet light inside a sealed chamber, inactivating microorganisms like viruses without adding chemicals. Because UV treats water on demand and has no storage tank, it provides continuous protection for all taps in an Altha household.
UV systems perform best when water is clear, so they’re typically installed with prefiltration to remove sediment that could shield viruses from the light. Correct sizing for your home’s flow rate and routine replacement of the lamp and sleeve keep the unit effective. When properly matched to your Altha home, a whole-house UV unit offers a practical, targeted barrier against viruses entering the plumbing.
