Kill Bacteria
This is a short guide highlighting some of the benefits that a UV water purification system can bring to your home.
In a word… safety.
Anyone who owns a well as the source of their drinking water, or anyone who relies on surface water such as lake or river water knows that these sources may become contaminated with bacterial and viral pathogens from a variety of sources (birds, agriculture,etc).
e.coli is a common contaminant in ground water and can lead to illness (and worse). Coliform is an indicator of e.coli and these are the two most common pathogens that public health labs test for. We have compiled a partial list of common pathogens aginst which a UV water treatment system will be highly effective:
e.coli
Coliform
Cholera
Legionella
Cryptosporidium
Giardia
Streptococcus
Salmenolla
Influenza (all types)
Hepatitis
Coxsackie
Anthrax
Polio
Typhoid
Jaundice
Dysentery
Tuberculosis
Mould
Again this is a partial list, however you can see that a properly sized UV system offers the ultimate in safety for you home drinking water. Filtered water is not enough…protect your family and use a properly sized UV system in conjunction with a quality filterset to provide the maximum in protection.
The principal behind UV is simple and has been proven effective for decades. Simply expose the water to high-power UV light in a specific wavelength (254nm) and this will destroy bacteria and viruses before they get a chance to infect humans.
