Including filter system and high-performance Waterborne Viruses filter.
Waterborne viruses can get into household supplies when sewage, wildlife waste, or pressure problems affect a source or distribution system. Because these viruses are microscopic you won’t be able to see, smell, or taste them in your tap water. In Astor Farms, where many homes rely on groundwater from the Floridan aquifer, homeowners often choose extra safeguards beyond standard treatment to reduce risk in drinking, cooking, and oral care water.
Unlike sediment or taste-and-odor issues, viruses are so small they can pass through filters designed only to catch particles, and they’re not the same as larger bacteria. If you want greater confidence in every tap in your Astor Farms home, look for whole-house solutions that specifically target microbial reduction at the point the water enters your plumbing.
A whole-house UV disinfection system is commonly the single most effective treatment to address waterborne viruses at the main line. UV treats flowing water inside a sealed chamber by exposing microorganisms to ultraviolet light, inactivating viruses without adding chemicals or changing water taste. Because it treats water continuously as it flows, a properly installed UV unit protects water used throughout your Astor Farms home.
UV systems work best when the water is clear, so they’re often installed after a prefilter that removes sediment which could shield microorganisms from the light. Correct sizing for your home’s flow rate and routine lamp and sleeve maintenance are important to keep performance reliable. For Astor Farms homeowners—many of whom draw from the Floridan aquifer—a properly selected whole-house UV system provides a focused, chemical-free barrier against viruses entering the house.
