Private wells are not tested or treated by a municipality. If bacteria get into your well, from surface runoff, flooding, or a compromised well cap, you will not see it, smell it, or taste it.
A UV disinfection system treats water as it enters your home, neutralizing bacteria and other microorganisms without adding chlorine or any other chemical to your water.
Why homeowners on wells install one
- No chemicals. Nothing added to your water, no taste or odor change.
- Continuous protection. It treats water on its way in, every time, without you doing anything.
- Works alongside your other equipment. UV pairs with filtration and softening as part of one system.
- Low maintenance. An annual lamp change and a sleeve cleaning is typically all it needs.
Testing comes first
If you are on a well, bacteria testing should be part of your routine regardless of whether you install anything. We include it in our free in-home water test, so at minimum you will know where you stand.
