Pretreatment Of UV Water Purification System

The pre-filters included with the SPS series satisfy the minimum pre-filtration requirements for the UV sterilizer and may help to improve UVT by removing sediments and organics.

UV Water Purifier

A UV water purifier exposes living organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, or cysts (like Cryptosporidium and Giardia) to a germicidal ultraviolet wavelength. With enough energy, UV radiation at the 254nm wavelength disrupts the DNA in pathogenic microorganisms so they cannot reproduce.

UV-C LED: FROM POU TO POE

As the design of UV-C LED systems improved, they matured in design, robustness, and most importantly, efficiency and cost, and so have finally become competitive with established products in the point-of-entry (POE) UV disinfection market.

UV-emitting LED Lights Found To Kill Coronavirus

Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) have proven that the coronavirus can be killed efficiently, quickly, and cheaply using ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs). They believe that the UV-LED technology will soon be available for private and commercial use.

When To Use A UV Water Sterilizer System?

It is important to note that all UV systems must be used with a sediment filter.  Sediment that is allowed to pass through the UV system can harbor bacteria and create shadows inside the chamber that can decrease the effectiveness of the system. 

Water Purification – UV Radiation As An Excellent Disinfectant

The efficacy of UV radiation as a disinfectant in water purification is a function of the intensity of the UV light (i.e. the actual bulb in the unit), the amount of time during which a volume of water is exposed to UV radiation, the clarity of the water entering the unit, and the maintenance of the unit.
