Including filter system and high-performance Waterborne Viruses filter.
Waterborne viruses can enter household supplies when sewage or animal waste affects a source or when treatment and distribution systems are challenged. Because these viruses are microscopic you usually won’t see, smell, or taste them, which is why many New Harmony residents seek extra protection beyond standard treatment. They can travel through water used for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth, so an added barrier at the point your water enters the home gives families greater peace of mind.
Viruses differ from sediment and typical taste-and-odor problems because they’re far smaller and can pass through filters designed only to catch particles; they’re also not the same as bacteria, which are larger and often easier to remove. Homeowners in New Harmony who want broader protection for every faucet should consider systems specifically intended for microbial reduction at the main service line, rather than relying solely on particle filtration designed for hardness or cloudiness.
For whole-house defense against waterborne viruses, a UV disinfection system is frequently the single most effective treatment to install 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 the treatment is continuous and there’s no storage tank, it protects water used throughout a New Harmony home as it flows to each tap.
UV units work best when water is clear, so they’re typically paired with a prefilter to remove sediment that can shield viruses from the light. Correctly sizing the system for your home’s flow rate and keeping up with lamp and sleeve maintenance are important to maintain performance. With a properly selected whole-house UV system, New Harmony homeowners can add a focused, practical barrier aimed at reducing viruses in the water entering their houses.
