Including filter system and high-performance Waterborne Viruses filter.
Waterborne viruses can get into a home’s water when sewage or animal waste affects a source or when treatment and distribution systems experience issues. Because these viruses are microscopic, you usually won’t see, smell, or taste any problem in your tap water. For Century homeowners who use water for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth, adding an extra layer of protection beyond basic treatment is a common and sensible choice.
Viruses differ from sediment and routine taste-and-odor concerns because they’re so small they can pass through filters that only stop particles, and they’re not the same as larger bacteria that are often easier to trap. Families in Century who want greater confidence in the safety of water throughout the house should consider treatments designed specifically to reduce microbes at the main service entry point.
For whole-house protection from waterborne viruses, a UV disinfection system is commonly the single most effective treatment to install on the main line. UV systems expose moving water to ultraviolet light inside a sealed chamber, inactivating microorganisms like viruses without introducing chemicals. Because the unit treats water as it flows through, it provides continuous protection for every tap in your Century home.
UV systems perform best when water is clear, so they’re typically paired with prefiltration to remove sediment that could shield viruses from the light. Correctly sizing the unit for your home’s flow, and keeping the lamp and sleeve maintained, ensures reliable operation. With a properly selected whole-house UV system, Century homeowners can add an effective, practical barrier focused specifically on viruses entering their plumbing.
