UV Light Purifiers
Inexpensive and effective purification
Highly effective against bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, germicidal ultraviolet light deactivates the DNA of these organisms and destroys their ability to multiply and cause disease.
UV light is part of the light spectrum and is used most effectively as a non-chemical approach to disinfections. Because nothing is added to the water that is being treated, the process is simple, inexpensive and requires very low maintenance.
UV light purifiers have numerous applications, and are usually installed under sinks in most homes. They can also be installed in:
- Water wells and cisterns
- Aircraft, boats and RVs
- Farms, ranches or camping and RV parks
- Schools, hospitals and hotels
- Water vending machines
- Swimming pools and hot tubs
There are also drawbacks to UV purification systems. They require a steady supply of electricity to power the UV lamp, and their capacity is limited by the size of the reservoir tank that holds water to be treated. Also, water can be re-contaminated after passing through the UV system, so taps and household pipes need to be cleaned and disinfected.
