ABOUT UV DISINFECTION
Microorganisms naturally exist on all surfaces exposed to air, including water. Many of these microbes of bacteria and viruses referred to as pathogens, have the potential to cause disease. In order to destroy harmful pathogens, water must be disinfected. One process that does not use chemicals is an Ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection system. UV disinfection is a highly effective and acceptable means of disinfecting water. Complete UV water purification is possible with the added reverse osmosis and carbon filters to remove the organic and inorganic matter.

HOW UV DISINFECTION WORKS
Water enters a clear chamber that contains a UV light bulb or lamp that is housed in a quartz sleeve to protect the bulb. The water flows through the chamber and is exposed to UV light. The UV lamp used for this type of germicidal disinfection produces light at a wavelength of 253.7 nanometers(2,537 Angstrom units). At this wavelength, UV light can destroy up to 99.99% of all bacteria, protozoa, viruses, molds, algae and other microbes by disrupting the genetic structure of the organism. This includes such waterborne diseases as: Escherichia.coli (E. coli), hepatitis, cholera, dysentery, typhoid fever and many others.

ADVANTAGES of a UV PURIFIER
• Eliminate the need for toxic and expensive chemicals,
• Fast reliable treatment, low maintenance, simple handling and extremely low operation cost.
• The units will only need periodic cleaning and annual lamp replacement.

Turbid water containing sediments that create a cloudy environment may interfere with the performance of the UV lamps. Consequently, our UV systems work in combination with carbon filtration and reverse osmosis as a final step to provide that an extra level of assurances. These pre-treatment systems ensure that the water will be free of turbidity and increases the disinfection efficiency in destroying microorganisms. The water is ready to drink when it leaves the disinfection water treatment unit.
