There is no wastewater, which makes it a much more reasonable alternative to other filtering systems. It also helps reduce the amount of chlorine in your water. What makes it an all around great option is that it is eco-friendly.

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.

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.
