Ultraviolet (UV) Water Purification is a proven technology that uses UV light to kill harmful microorganisms in water. As a long-established and highly-regarded form of water treatment, UV systems are used around the world in millions of industrial applications, businesses, and individual homes.
With ultraviolet water purification, you can trust that your water is free of waterborne microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and cysts. UV is environmentally friendly and does not make any changes or add chemicals to your water. Protect your health and enjoy peace of mind with UV water purification
How Do UV Water Filters Work?
The UV water disinfection process utilizes special UV lamps that emit UV light of a particular wavelength. These UV light waves have the ability, based on their length, to disrupt the DNA of microorganisms. These UV light waves are referred to as the Germicidal Spectrum or Frequency, the frequency used in killing micro-organisms is 254 nanometers (nm).
During the UV water disinfection process, as water passes through a UV water treatment system, living organisms in water are exposed to UV light which attacks the genetic code of the microorganism and rearranges the DNA /RNA, eliminating the microorganism's ability to function and reproduce.
If a microorganism can no longer reproduce, it cannot replicate, therefore it cannot infect other organisms with which it has contact. This process of exposing water to UV light is simple, effective, and destroys 99.99% of harmful microorganisms without adding any chemicals to water.
Advantages Of UV Water Filtration
Overall, UV water treatment is an outstanding way to meet your water purification needs. UV has proven to be one of the most reliable, quick, and cost-effective methods for disinfecting water at both point-of-use (kitchen tap) and point-of-entry (whole-house) applications.
