If bleach shocks feel too messy, get a UV water purifier. It’s a tube with a special light that zaps bacteria as water passes through. Poof. Dead.
UV lights are like superhero lasers for your plumbing. They don’t add chemicals. They don’t change taste. They just fry germs with pure radiation. Safe for you, deadly for microbes.
The catch? The water needs to be clear. If your well water is cloudy or rusty, the UV light can’t see through the mud. Fix that with a sediment filter first.
