UV Disinfection Systems & Parts

All sources of drinking water contain some level of contamination. Water quality studies find that between 20 and 40 percent of wells in any given area are contaminated with disease-causing bacteria like E. coli and Coliform. Surface drinking water applications require even much more attention due to the water source being a lake, river or stream. Attention to the purification of surface water is vital not only for the removal of odour and colouring but also due to the possible presence of harmful bacteria such as Cryptosporidium or Giardia Lamblia. Ultraviolet (UV) purification technology is more effective than chemical disinfection processes at treating a wide range of bacteria and viruses and is extremely economical to operate. A typical UV system operates on the same power requirements as a 40 watt light bulb which makes UV disinfecting method cost efficient method for providing safe, bacteria and virus free water for homes, cottages and commercial applications.
