Protect Your Well Water From Bacteria & Viruses
Chemical-free UV disinfection that inactivates bacteria and viruses, sized to your home's flow.
Why this matters
A private well is not treated by a city, so bacteria and viruses from surface runoff, flooding, or a compromised well casing can get into your water. UV disinfection passes water by an ultraviolet lamp that inactivates those organisms, with no chemicals and no change to taste. It is the standard safeguard for well water, especially after a positive bacteria test.
Signs you might have this problem
- A water test came back positive for coliform or E. coli
- Recent flooding, well work, or a new well
- A shallow, older, or hand-dug well
- Recurring stomach upset with no other clear cause

360 UV Disinfection System
Chemical-free UV that inactivates bacteria and viruses. Sized by flow (3, 10, 15, or 20 GPM lamp) to match your home's demand.
Installation & maintenance
Installs at the main line as the final stage, after any sediment or iron filtration, because UV needs clear water to work. The lamp runs continuously and is replaced about once a year, and the quartz sleeve is cleaned periodically. We size the unit to your home's peak flow so every drop gets the full UV dose. Professional installation available in Austin and surrounding areas.
Frequently asked questions
Does UV change the taste or add anything to my water?
No. UV uses light only. It adds no chemicals and does not change taste, odor, or mineral content.
Do I need a filter before the UV?
Usually yes. UV needs clear water, so sediment and iron are removed first. Cloudy water can shield organisms from the light.
How often do I service it?
The UV lamp is replaced about once a year to keep the dose effective, and the quartz sleeve is wiped down periodically. That is the whole maintenance routine.
