Including filter system and high-performance Waterborne Viruses filter.
Waterborne viruses can get into household water when sewage, animal waste, or stressed treatment systems affect a source. Because these viruses are microscopic, you usually won’t be able to see, smell, or taste them in Cody’s tap water. Since they can travel in water used for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth, many Cody homeowners choose extra protection beyond standard treatment to reduce risk inside the home.
Viruses differ from visible sediment or common taste-and-odor issues because they’re extremely small and can pass through filters that only trap particles. They’re also unlike bacteria, which are generally larger and easier to capture. If you want more assurance about the water running through a Cody residence, it makes sense to use filtration or treatment installed where water enters the house and designed specifically to reduce microbes like viruses.
A whole-house UV disinfection system is often the single most effective treatment to add at the main line for protection against waterborne viruses. UV systems expose flowing water to ultraviolet light inside a sealed chamber, inactivating microorganisms like viruses without introducing chemicals. Because they treat water continuously as it flows into Cody homes and have no storage tank, they provide consistent point-of-entry protection for every tap.
UV systems work best when the incoming water is clear, so they’re typically paired with a prefilter to remove sediment that could shield viruses from the light. Proper sizing to match your household flow rate plus routine lamp and sleeve maintenance are important to keep performance reliable. With a correctly selected whole-house UV unit, Cody homeowners can add a practical, targeted barrier against viruses in water entering the home.
