UV
Light Specifications
Bacteriological
contamination can be present in all water supplies,
especially in rural areas. It is recommended that
no surface waters be consumed without adequate
microbiological treatment, regardless of how the
water is tested. Unlike traditional disinfection
methods such as chlorination (which cannot only
react with natural organic matter in water to
produce objectionable taste and odor, but also
forms substances with potential carcinogenic properties
such as trihalomethane), UV imparts no residual
chemicals into the water.
Ultraviolet water sterilizers incorporate natural
ultraviolet light energy to eradicate microbiological
contamination. Vital genetic components contained
in microorganisms absorb the light energy; this
disrupts the DNA and prevents reproduction. Treated
water then exits through the top port of the generator
cell and is ready for consumption.
Protection
In addition to bacteria (E. Coli), virus, algae,
mold and others, UV systems are now considered
effective against protozoa such as Cryptosporidium
and Giardia lamblia. UV effectively DESTROYS these
protozoan cysts at dosage levels well within the
levels delivered by ultraviolet disinfection systems.
