What is UV Filtration?

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

Effective

Destroys 99.99% of viruses and 99.9999% of bacteria in water

Chemical free

No harmful chemicals need to be added

Environmentally Friendly

Go green! UV is an environmentally friendly alternative to chlorine disinfection and has no disinfection byproducts

Essentially trouble-free

Once installed, annual service is usually all that is required

Reliable

Works night and day, 24/7, consistently keeping water safe (you won't have to constantly test your well water)

Safe

No handling of chemicals

Cost Effective

Only lamp & sleeve replaced annually

Clean

No dirty parts to dispose of

Quick Process

Water flows through the system without need for holding tank or reaction times

More effective than chlorine or chloramines

Especially on some water borne cysts

Low energy usage

Low electrical needs

Conserves water

The UV purification process does not waste any water

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.
