Ultraviolet or UV water sterilizer are used in water purification and treatment to make water healthier and prolong the life of water that has been treated and processed.
The word sterile� is defined as being free from living germs or microorganisms.
An Ultraviolet sterilizer extraordinarily cleans water and kills bacteria and microorganisms that can be able to infest water even after it has been treated.
Contaminants that UV Addresses:
Cysts
Bacteria
Coliform
Flu
Salmonella
Polio
Giardia
Dysentery
E.coli Cholera
Cryptosporidium
Meningitis
Typhoid
Infectious
Fever
Hepatitis
UV is a type of energy found in the electromagnetic spectrum, lying between x-rays and visible light.
Although we cannot see Ultraviolet light or rays, we are exposed to them every time we step out into the sun.
In fact, Ultraviolet light is responsible for causing sunburns. UV Water Purification systems use special lamps that emit UV light of a particular wavelength that have the ability, based on their length, to disrupt the DNA of micro-organisms.
As water passes through a UV water treatment system, living organisms in water are exposed to UV light which attacks the genetic code of the microorganism and rearranges the DNA /RNA, eliminating the microorganism™s ability to function and reproduce.
If a microorganism can no longer reproduce, it cannot replicate, therefore it cannot infect other organisms with which it has contact.
This process of exposing water to Ultraviolet light is simple but effective, destroying 99.99° of harmful microorganisms without adding any chemicals to water.
