Including filter system and high-performance Waterborne Viruses filter.
Waterborne viruses can make their way into household supplies when sewage, animal waste, or stressed treatment systems affect a source. Because these viruses are microscopic, you usually won’t notice any change in taste, smell, or appearance of your water. In Spray, many homeowners choose an added layer of protection to reduce the chance of viruses reaching water used for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth beyond what standard treatment provides.
Viruses behave differently than visible sediment or routine taste-and-odor problems because they’re extremely small and can pass through filters that only remove particles. They’re also not the same as bacteria, which tend to be larger and easier to capture. For Spray households seeking greater confidence in water throughout the home, the best approach is to consider filtration or treatment designed for microbial reduction where water enters the house.
A whole-house UV disinfection system is often the most effective single treatment for reducing waterborne viruses at the main service line. UV systems treat flowing water inside a sealed chamber by exposing it to ultraviolet light, inactivating microorganisms like viruses without adding chemicals. Installed at the point where water enters your Spray home, a UV unit treats water continuously as it’s used, with no storage tank required.
Because UV needs clear water to work well, it’s typically installed with prefiltration to remove sediment that might shield viruses from the light. Correct sizing for your home’s flow rate and routine replacement of the lamp and sleeve are important to maintain performance. When a Spray home has a properly selected whole-house UV system plus prefiltration, it creates a practical, targeted barrier against viruses in the water coming into the house.
