The Advantages of UV Water Treatment

While municipal water treatment is able to meet water quality standards, many homeowners are looking for safer, more effective solutions to guard against chlorine-resistant microorganisms like Giardia and Cryptosporidium which can cause serious health problems.

One of the best solutions for removing biological contaminants from drinking water is UV water purification. A UV water purifier exposes water to ultraviolet rays, effectively deactivating harmful viruses, bacteria, molds and pathogenic disease-causing microorganisms.

Here are some of the advantages of UV water treatment.

Highly Effective & Reliable – Kills 99.99% of microorganisms.

Fast and Efficient – Provides instant purification without reducing water flow.

Environmentally Friendly – UV purification requires no chemicals and produces waste byproducts.

Low Maintenance – Only the UV lamp & sleeve need to be replaced annually.

Low Energy Use – UV bulbs use approximately 60 watts of power, roughly equivalent to the average light bulb.

No Wasted Water – Unlike other water treatment methods such as reverse osmosis, which require that the filtering membrane be occasionally flushed with water to maintain effective filtration, UV water filtration doesn’t waste a drop of water.

FDA Approved – UV purification is one of only a few methods approved for disinfection by US Food & Drug Administration.
