Including filter system and high-performance Waterborne Viruses filter.
Waterborne viruses can reach household plumbing when sewage or animal waste affects a source, or when treatment and delivery systems are overburdened. These microscopic viruses don’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of water, so issues can go unnoticed. Because they can travel through water used for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth, many Lois homeowners choose extra protection in addition to standard treatment.
Unlike sediment or common taste-and-odor problems, viruses are tiny enough to pass through filters that only remove particles. They’re also different from bacteria, which are larger and often easier to filter out. For homeowners in Lois who want greater confidence in the safety of water throughout their house, it’s best to consider treatments designed specifically for reducing microbes at the point where water enters the home.
A whole-house UV disinfection system is frequently the most effective single treatment to install on the main water line for virus control. UV disinfects by exposing water to ultraviolet light within a sealed chamber, targeting microorganisms like viruses without adding chemicals. Because it treats water as it flows through—without storing it—UV provides continuous protection for every tap in your Lois home.
UV systems work best when the incoming water is clear, so they’re typically used 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 important to maintain performance. When a whole-house UV unit is properly selected and maintained, Lois residents gain a practical, chemical-free layer of defense aimed specifically at viruses in the water entering their homes.
