UV Water Disinfection Systems
Advanced Protection for Safe, Bacteria-Free Water
Bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms can enter your water supply through well contamination or vulnerabilities in the municipal system, putting your family’s health at risk. UV disinfection systems use ultraviolet light to neutralize harmful pathogens without chemicals, providing safer water throughout your home. At CGC Home Services, we install and maintain advanced UV disinfection systems to protect your family with reliable, continuous water purification.
How Does a UV Water Disinfection System Work?
UV disinfection systems expose water to ultraviolet light as it flows through a specialized chamber. The UV rays penetrate microbial cell walls, disrupting their DNA and preventing them from reproducing or causing illness. This process happens instantly — no chemicals, no waiting and no change to your water’s taste or smell. The system operates continuously, treating every drop of water that enters your home with powerful germicidal light.

No chlorine, ozone, or other chemicals needed.

Neutralizes bacteria, viruses and parasites, including E. coli, Giardia, Cryptosporidium and others

Space Efficiency

Do You Need a UV Water Disinfection System?
UV disinfection adds an essential layer of protection when your water source faces contamination risks or you want chemical-free purification. Consider installing a UV system if:
- Your home uses well water, which lacks the municipal treatment processes that reduce bacterial contamination.
- You experience boil water advisories in your area due to compromised municipal water quality.
- You want backup protection against waterborne pathogens that standard filters can't remove.
- You prefer a disinfection method that doesn't introduce chemicals into your drinking water.
- Testing has revealed the presence of bacteria, viruses or other microorganisms in your water supply.
Easy Integration With Your Existing Water Systems
UV disinfection systems work as stand-alone units or pair with other water treatment and filtration solutions for comprehensive home water quality. Many homeowners combine UV purification with water softeners or reverse osmosis systems to address microbiological threats, mineral content, sediment or chemical contaminants. Our team evaluates your water quality and recommends the right combination of treatment solutions for your home’s specific needs.

What Our Customers Say
Very friendly and efficient! Answered all my questions! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Kade came out because our water pressure was low and water was a little hard. He fixed everything up and since I had had service recently, there was no charge. CGC is so great to work with. They are so nice. I highly recommend.
He kept me apprised of his ETA, was friendly and worked quickly & efficiently.
⭐ 1/5 — If zero stars were an option, I would give zero. I am writing this review after receiving no response or follow-up from CGC Water Treatment regarding several serious, unresolved issues. System failure: Our water treatment system experienced a major failure within the first year. Misleading product information: At installation, I specifically asked whether I could continue using standard filters and was told by the installer that I could. I later discovered that the system requires expensive proprietary filters. These filters were also presented as reusable/washable, but I found them extremely difficult and time-consuming to clean. Billing issue: A $50 coupon I presented when purchasing filters was never applied to my balance. Despite multiple emails detailing these issues, CGC has provided absolutely no support, response, or attempt to resolve the situation. Due to their complete lack of communication, I am now moving forward with formal complaints to the Better Business Bureau and the Michigan Attorney General's Office. I strongly advise others to look elsewhere for their water treatment needs.
Came out right away and did a good job.
Jason is outstanding.
We called this company to replace the expansion tank on our well-pump system. The technician insisted they would install only a fiberglass tank. Eventually, they agreed to install a steel tank if we purchased it ourselves—which we did, for about half the price. The tank is located in a laundry room, not a basement or wet environment. The installation was completed on Friday and cost just shy of $1,400. I was out of town and unable to handle the work myself, so we reluctantly accepted the price. By Saturday, just 24 hours after the Friday close of business, one of the newly connected pipes burst, spraying pressurized water inside the house. Thankfully, we shut off the water within minutes. The company advertises emergency service on its website, so I called immediately. An AI voice collected my information and promised someone would be in touch. Four calls and almost 14 hours later, we never heard from an actual person but we were able to book an appointment on the website for Monday. At first, the earliest we could book was Wednesday, but we managed to negotiate our “emergency” down to only two days without water. Apparently, their emergency service consists of an AI answering the phone and offering emotional support while your house floods. We ultimately found another company that came out and repaired the burst pipe the same day. That was fortunate, because waiting until Monday, or Wednesday, without running water was not especially appealing. Oddly enough, the technician showed a highly corroded piece of steel pipe thread into a brittle and cracked pvc connection at the exact connection point to the tank. I guess that inspecting the connecting pipe was a little much. From the insistence on the more expensive tank, to the nearly $1,400 installation, to the pipe failing the next day, to the nonexistent weekend emergency response, this experience was unacceptable from start to finish. I would not recommend this company to anyone. One star, only because Google has not yet introduced negative numbers. Please, for the love of all things Holy, do not use this company. They basically took a donation of over a $1000 and made our plumbing issue worse.
Very professional and informative.
Ronnie was courteous, knowledgeable to recheck repairs on Thursday last wk

Professional Explained everything
Liz is great to work with. Everyone was very professional.
Justin is the consummate professional. Thorough, knowledgeable, and congenial. I trust him with the work that we need done. I've requested him by name in the past and will do so in the future. On top of everything else, he's a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps. Doesn't get any better than that! Thank you Justin!
Jordan came in, we spoke for a few moments, he went over the charges and I asked if he could repair a leak in one of the lines, and he immediately went to work.
CGC, from their management to down to the service and installers. They really take care of their client.
Frequently Asked Questions
We are here to help!
Check our frequently asked questions – For Your Plumbing and Water Treatment Needs
Can a UV System Remove Sediment or Chemicals From My Water?
While UV disinfection targets bacteria, viruses and parasites, it doesn’t filter out sediment, chlorine or heavy metals. We often recommend pairing UV with a whole-home carbon filter or reverse osmosis system for complete water treatment and filtration.
Will I Know if My UV Lamp Stops Working?
Most UV systems include indicator lights or alarms that alert you when the lamp needs replacement or if flow rates drop below sufficient disinfection levels. Annual maintenance ensures your system stays operational and your water stays protected.
