Product Description

Ultraviolet Water Sterilizers A lamp producing Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is emitted through clear, pre-filtered, particle free water. This UV light is extremely effective in killing and eliminating bacteria, yeast's, viruses, molds and other harmful organisms known to man. Used in industry and hospitals to treat water. Must be used in conjunction with sediment and carbon filters to create pure drinking water. If sub-micron particles remain in the water, the UV light may not come in contact with the organism as the organism is hiding behind the particle. Many times used as a post disinfecting method for residential water treatment. Also used in the Pharmaceutical Industry as the final stage of water purification. How it Wks Ultraviolet purification uses a UV light source (lamp) which is enclosed in a protective transparent sleeve (usually quartz). The lamp is mounted such that water passing through a flow chamber is exposed to the UV-C light rays. When harmful microbes are exposed to the UV rays, their nucleic acid absorbs the UV energy, which then scrambles the DNA structure of the organism. The cell is rendered sterile and can no longer reproduce. The cell is now considered dead Ultraviolet purification uses a UV light source (lamp) which is enclosed in a protective transparent sleeve (usually quartz).
