Including filter system and high-performance Waterborne Viruses filter.
Waterborne viruses can get into household supplies when sewage or animal waste affects a source or when treatment and distribution systems face issues. These microbes are far too small to see, taste, or smell, so water can seem fine even when viruses are present. Because they can travel in water used for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth, many Lewis homeowners choose added protection beyond standard municipal treatment.
Viruses are not the same as sediment or familiar taste-and-odor problems — they’re microscopic and may pass through filters designed only to remove particles. They also differ from bacteria, which are typically larger and easier to capture. If you want greater assurance for all water entering your Lewis home, consider systems specified for microbial reduction at the main service line.
For whole-house defense against waterborne viruses, a UV disinfection system is commonly the single most effective option to install on the main line. UV units disinfect flowing water by exposing it to ultraviolet light inside a sealed chamber, targeting viruses and other microorganisms without adding chemicals. Because the treatment is continuous and there’s no storage tank, every tap in your Lewis home receives treated water as you use it.
UV systems work best with clear water, so they’re typically paired with prefiltration to remove sediment that could shield viruses from the light. Correct sizing for your household flow rate and routine lamp and sleeve maintenance are important to maintain performance. With a properly selected whole-house UV unit, Lewis homeowners can add a practical, chemical-free barrier aimed specifically at waterborne viruses entering the house.
