Protecting Your Family’s Health

Safe, Low-Maintenance Protection from Bacteria and Microorganisms

When it comes to keeping your family safe from harmful bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms in your well water, disinfection is critical — but that doesn’t mean it has to be complicated.

At Kappus Well Pump & Water System Services, we specialize in ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems that eliminate microbial contamination without adding chemicals to your water. These systems are simple, effective, and easy to maintain — with built-in failsafe alerts that notify you if your water is not being properly treated.

Why We Recommend UV Over Chemical Systems

Chemical feed pumps (chlorine injection systems) require constant monitoring, regular recalibration, and introduce chemicals into your water supply — which many homeowners want to avoid. While they are still used in certain high-contamination or Board of Health-required scenarios, they are not user-friendly and can fail silently without regular maintenance.

UV disinfection, by contrast:

Neutralizes 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa
Requires minimal maintenance (just an annual lamp replacement)
Has no impact on taste, smell, or water quality
Includes safety alerts and monitoring systems so you know if it ever stops working

When UV Disinfection Is Recommended

We typically recommend UV systems if:

Your water test shows coliform, E. coli, or other harmful bacteria
You’re concerned about possible surface water intrusion
You want to prevent health risks for family, guests, or tenants
You’re buying or selling a property and need Board of Health compliance
You simply don’t want to worry — and want to be sure your water is protected, day and night

Do You Need Bacteria Testing?

We can perform basic onsite screening and recommend further testing if needed. In-house testing for:

Hardness
Iron
pH
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)
Manganese
Tannins
Bacteria, chemical, VOC, PFOS/PFOA testing must be submitted to a state-certified lab. A service call is not always required — you can often drop off your own sample at your nearest certified testing lab, such as YML Labs in Yorktown Heights, NY.
