Private Well Water
Wells aren't treated by a municipal plant, which means bacteria and other microorganisms aren't automatically removed. UV is one of the most effective safeguards available.
Ultraviolet Sterilizer Systems for Philadelphia Area Homes
Chemical-free disinfection that destroys bacteria, viruses and protozoa in seconds — the essential final step for well water and any home that wants true peace of mind.
How It Works
Sterilization Without a Single Chemical
Excalibur's Ultraviolet Sterilizer Systems expose your water to concentrated UV-C light as it flows through a sealed stainless steel chamber. That light disrupts the DNA of microorganisms — bacteria, viruses, algae and mold — so they can no longer reproduce or cause illness. No chlorine, no added taste or odor, no chemical byproducts.
It's fast-acting, low-maintenance (an annual bulb replacement is typically all it needs), and works continuously as water passes through your home's main line.
- Destroys E. coli, coliform bacteria and other pathogens
- Eliminates protozoa like Cryptosporidium and Giardia Lamblia
- Controls algae and mold growth in your water supply
- No chemical taste, odor, or residue

FAQ
UV Sterilizer Questions, Answered
If your home uses a private well, a UV sterilizer is one of the most effective ways to protect against bacteria, viruses and protozoa that municipal treatment plants would normally remove. Many mortgage lenders and local health departments also recommend or require water testing (and sometimes UV disinfection) for well water before closing on a home.
No. UV sterilization uses ultraviolet light to destroy the DNA of microorganisms so they can't reproduce — there's no chlorine or chemical residue added to your water.
A whole-home UV sterilizer is installed at your main water line, typically after sediment and carbon filtration, so every fixture in your home receives disinfected water — not just a single faucet.
No. UV disinfection handles biological contaminants (bacteria, viruses, protozoa) but doesn't remove hardness, chlorine, sediment or chemicals. It's typically installed alongside a whole-house filter or softener as the final disinfection step.
The best way to know is a free in-home water test. If you're on well water, or you've had a positive coliform/E. coli test, a UV system is almost always worth adding.
