Including filter system and high-performance Waterborne Viruses filter.
Waterborne viruses can make their way into household supplies when sewage, wildlife waste, or strains on treatment and delivery systems affect a source. These pathogens are far too small to see, taste, or smell, so a glass of water that looks normal can still carry risk. Many Hanson homeowners choose added protection beyond standard treatment to safeguard water used for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth.
Viruses behave differently than sediment or routine taste-and-odor problems because they are microscopic and may pass right through filters designed only to trap particles. They are also not the same as bacteria, which tend to be larger and easier to remove. If you want increased confidence in the water throughout your Hanson house, consider treatments specifically designed for microbial reduction at the main service line.
A whole-house UV disinfection system is commonly recommended as the most effective single treatment for waterborne viruses when installed at the home’s main line. UV units expose flowing water to ultraviolet light inside a sealed chamber, inactivating microorganisms like viruses without chemicals. Because the system treats water as it moves through the house and doesn’t rely on a storage tank, it provides continuous protection for every tap in a Hanson residence.
UV systems perform best when the incoming water is clear, so homeowners often pair them with a prefilter to remove sediment that could shield viruses from the light. Correct sizing for your household flow rate plus routine lamp and sleeve maintenance are essential to keep the unit effective. With a properly selected whole-house UV system, Hanson residents can add a practical, focused barrier against viruses in the water entering their homes.
