Unsafe Well Water? Bacteria Risk!
The problem
Discovering a positive coliform or E. coli test in your well water is alarming and demands urgent action. These bacteria indicate contamination that can cause gastrointestinal illness, infections, and other health risks for your family. Even if your water looks clear, these invisible pathogens pose a serious threat to your household’s safety.
The source of coliform bacteria contamination is often surface water infiltration or nearby septic system leakage into the well. Once present, bacteria multiply within the water supply, potentially damaging plumbing fixtures and appliances. More importantly, ongoing exposure can result in chronic health problems and undermine your confidence in using well water for drinking, cooking, or bathing.
Ignoring this contamination can lead to costly medical bills and replacement of damaged equipment. It also forces reliance on costly bottled water or unsafe treatment methods. Addressing this problem thoroughly is essential to restore pure, safe water and protect your family’s health and home.
How it works — the viqua uv + ro that fixes it
The Well Bacteria UV System uses a two-stage treatment train to deliver safe, bacteria-free water throughout your home. First, the VIQUA Whole-House UV Sterilizer exposes all incoming water to powerful ultraviolet light that kills 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and cysts without any chemicals. This final disinfection step ensures harmful pathogens are neutralized before reaching your taps.
Second, the Nelsen 4-Stage Reverse Osmosis system installed under your kitchen sink provides bottled-quality drinking water by removing remaining impurities, delivering pure, fresh water directly at the tap. Together, these matched stages create a seamless, comprehensive solution tailored specifically for well water bacteria contamination.
Maintenance is straightforward: the UV lamp requires annual replacement to maintain its full sterilization power, while the RO system’s filters change periodically based on water usage. Included bypass valves and control heads simplify servicing, and free expert sizing guarantees the system fits your household needs perfectly.
