Including filter system and high-performance Waterborne Viruses filter.
Waterborne viruses can get into household water when sewage or animal waste affects a source or when treatment and distribution systems are stressed. Because these viruses are microscopic, you usually won’t notice any change in taste, smell, or appearance of your water in Franjo. Since contaminated water can be used for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth, many homeowners in the area choose an extra layer of protection beyond standard municipal treatment.
Viruses differ from sediment or routine taste-and-odor problems because they’re extremely small and can pass through filters meant only to catch particles. They’re also not the same as bacteria, which are larger and often easier to trap. For Franjo households wanting greater confidence in water used throughout their homes, focus on filtration or treatment designed specifically to reduce microbes at the point where water enters the house.
A UV disinfection system is commonly recommended as the most effective single whole-house treatment for waterborne viruses at the main water line. UV systems expose flowing water to ultraviolet light inside a sealed chamber, targeting microorganisms like viruses without adding chemicals. Because it treats water as it flows and doesn’t rely on a storage tank, a UV unit provides continuous protection for every tap in a Franjo home.
UV systems perform best when water is clear, so they’re often installed with a prefilter to remove sediment that could shield viruses from the light. Correct sizing for your home’s flow rate and routine lamp and sleeve maintenance are important to keep the system effective. With a properly selected whole-house UV unit, Franjo homeowners can add a practical, targeted barrier against viruses in water entering their houses.
