UV Disinfection Systems for Well Water

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.

FAQs

Testing is the only way. It is not something you can detect by taste, smell, or appearance.

No. UV addresses microorganisms only. Sediment pre-filtration is usually required for UV to work properly, and iron, sulfur, and hardness each need their own treatment.
