UV Water Sterilization

Even if your water is clear and tastes fine, it may still harbor microorganisms that pose health risks or damage plumbing systems. At J&J Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, we recommend whole-home ultraviolet (UV) water sterilization when your water test shows elevated levels of bacteria, viruses, or other harmful pathogens.

Whole-Home UV Disinfection for Safe, Clean Water

A high-quality UV system uses ultraviolet light to neutralize up to 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and other microscopic contaminants - without chemicals and without changing the taste or appearance of your water.

Signs You Need UV Sterilization

Look out for any of these warning signs in your Northeast Ohio home:

• Family members suffer from recurring stomach or intestinal issues.
• Your well water or municipal supply has tested positive for coliform, E. coli, or other bacteria.
• You've treated for chemical or mineral contamination but still worry about microbes.
• You have a private well or seasonal home where bacteria risk is higher.
• You want a comprehensive solution that complements a whole-home filter or softener system.

Jay's Pro Tip: Don't assume your tap water is clean! It may contain impurities even when it looks and tastes fine. Some are toxic and can damage your plumbing.

How Our Process Works

Comprehensive Water Quality Assessment

Our licensed technicians test your home's water for bacteria levels, turbidity, minerals, and other key indicators to determine whether UV treatment is appropriate.

Whole-Home System Design & Installation

We select a UV system sized to your water flow and quality needs, pairing it (if needed) with pre-filtration for optimal performance. Installation is performed by our certified plumbers who treat your home with care - wearing floor-savers, shoe covers and keeping things clean.

Ongoing Maintenance & Support

UV systems require scheduled maintenance: replacement of the lamp annually and cleaning/replacing of the quartz sleeve and other components. We offer service plans to keep your system running at peak efficiency for years.
