Aging infrastructure in many cities can lead to an increase in possible contamination. Ultraviolet technology can give peace of mind, knowing that you’re protected from many of the culprits of water contamination. A UV water purification system effectively destroys 99.9% of waterborne microorganisms. In this section, we explore the advantages and disadvantages of ultraviolet, the parts of a UV system, and frequently asked questions about UV water purification.

The advantages of using a UV system are many:

  • Effective – Destroys 99.99% of microorganisms Environmentally Friendly –Go green! UV is an environmentally friendly alternative to chlorine disinfection and has no disinfection byproducts
  • Reliable – works night and day, 24/7, consistently keeping water safe
  • Cost-Effective –only lamp & sleeve replaced annually
  • Quick Process – water flows through the system without need for holding tank or reaction times
  • Low energy usage – low electrical needs
  • Conserves water – The UV purification process does not waste any water
  • Chemical free – no harmful chemicals need to be added
  • Essentially trouble-free – once installed, annual service is usually all that is required
  • Safe – no handling of chemicals
  • Clean – no dirty parts to dispose of More effective than chlorine or chloramines – especially on some water borne cysts
  • FDA Approved – one of only 4 methods approved for disinfection by US Food & Drug Administration (FDA)
