Contaminated water can be treated with high energy UV radiation without the addition of chemicals such as chlorine or ozone. UV lamps destroy micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and chlorine-resistant pathogens, such as cryptosporidium.
UV light disinfection usage is environmentally friendly. UV lamps are widely used in drinking water treatment systems (reverse osmosys systems, microfiltration systems..).
Advantages of using UV light:
- No detrimental taste or smell
- No addition of chemicals
- No enviromental impact
- Effective against chlorine-resistant pathogens
- Easy to use
- Low maintenance
- Very low operating cost
