How UV filtration works
Private water sources such as private wells can be susceptible to contamination from micro-organisms and bacteria. These pathogens include E.coli, Cryptosporidium, Salmonella, Coliforms and Streptococcus.
UV filtration is a type of disinfection that kills harmful microorganisms by exposing them to UV light. When installed, water entering your home or premises passes through a UV light chamber and the microorganisms exposed to this UV light are destroyed.
UV Filtration Benefits
Clean & Safe Water
A UV filtration system is a proven technology that is 99.9% effective at destroying pathogens without altering the taste, colour or odour of the water making it a very safe disinfection method.
Destroys Microorganisms
UV light technology destroys a whole range of microorgansims by dirupting their DNA when exposed to the light meaning they cannot reproduce.
Environmentally Friendly
A UV system is a chemical-free water treatment solution. Once installed it requires a very low-energy demand to power it making it an environmentally freindly disinfection option
Cost Effective
A UV system is a cost effective method of water treatment being relatively cheap to install, service and run.
Frequently Asked Questions
A UV water filter works by exposing water to ultraviolet light. The UV light penetrates the cells of microorganisms and disrupts their DNA, preventing them from reproducing and effectively killing them.
Yes, UV filters eliminate harmful bacteria without adding chemicals to the water.
We recommend replacing the bulb and pre filter every 12 months. Also the glass/quartz tube that surrounds the bulb may need cleaning depending on the water quality.
UV systems have an indicator light or alarm that signals whether the UV bulb is functioning. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the UV bulb are essential to ensure the system’s effectiveness.
