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

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
EXCELLENT Based on 1180 reviews Posted on Helen BoganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan came out to check our water softener and water heater, both installed 2 years ago. He was professional and very patient in reviewing maintenance for each. He made recommendations for additional services we could benefit from. Totally satisfied with the service call today.Posted on Mark BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CGC installed a top-of-the-line Kinetico RO system for me. It was pricey, but I had the water independently tested for more than 30 contaminants—including lead, PFAS, and fertilizers—and everything came back perfectly clean. The installation was done professionally, and whenever I need service or a filter change, their technicians are consistently knowledgeable and courteous. My only minor complaint is that their scheduling can be slow in my area near South Lyon, often requiring a wait of at least 10 days for a filter change. Still, I would highly recommend CGC and their products overall.Posted on Chris SarkellaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Trisia is great. They have the best tasting water. Thank you for your help and guidance.Posted on karen joslinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Happiness is a new water softener from a wonderful company, named CGC Water Treatment and Plumbing. We met two of their technicians, Rene Q and Dan. Each of these men were so nice, courteous, and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this local Family Business.Posted on Lynn EakinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service prices aren't bad.
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.
