Including filter system and high-performance Waterborne Viruses filter.
Waterborne viruses can get into household water when sewage, animal waste, or strain on treatment and distribution systems affects sources. Because these viruses are microscopic, you usually won’t see, smell, or taste any issue in your tap water. In Craggs, many homeowners choose an extra layer of protection beyond standard treatment to reduce the risk of viruses in water used for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth.
Viruses differ from sediment or taste-and-odor problems because they’re so small they can pass through filters that only block particles, and they’re not the same as larger bacteria that are often easier to trap. For Craggs households wanting more confidence in every tap, it makes sense to consider filtration or treatment aimed specifically at reducing microbes at the point where water enters the home.
A whole-house UV disinfection system is commonly 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, targeting microorganisms like viruses without adding chemicals. Installed on the main service line, a UV unit treats water continuously as it’s used throughout your Craggs home.
UV effectiveness relies on clear water, so these systems are typically paired with prefiltration to remove sediment that could shield viruses from the light. Correctly sizing the unit for your home’s flow rate and keeping up with lamp and sleeve maintenance are important to sustained performance. With a properly selected whole-house UV system, Craggs homeowners can add a targeted, practical barrier against viruses in the water entering the house.
