UV Sterilizer For Water Treatment
A UV water purifier treats micro-biologically unsafe water with germicidal ultraviolet light. The UV wavelength scrambles the DNA of living organisms in the water, so they can no longer reproduce and make you sick. If you drink bacteria-infested water, the organisms can embed in your digestive tract and replicate. Test your water quality before you use a UV system to make sure the water does not exceed these levels:
* Hardness < 7 gpg (grains per gallon)
* Iron < 0.3 ppm (parts per million)
* Manganese < 0.05 ppm
* Turbidity < 1 NTU (nephelometric turbidity units)
* UVT < 75%
* Tannins < 0.1 ppm
Advantages of a UV water purifier
1. Disinfects without chemicals. Ultraviolet wavelength doesn't leave by-products in water like chemical disinfectants.
2. Adds no tastes or odors. UV disinfection does not chemically alter the water in any way, shape, or form.
3. Easy to maintain. An annual UV lamp change is the most frequent maintenance need.
4. No water wasted. The UV treatment process requires no water to the drain.
5. Protection during natural disasters. When city water is compromised, a UV system keeps your drinking water safe.
