Is UV water filter useful?

Yes, UV water purifiers are very effective in removing microbial pollutants such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa, viruses, and cysts. Ultraviolet (UV) water purification is a validated technology that uses UV to kill 99.99% of harmful microorganisms in water.

Ultraviolet water filtration is a safe and chemical free water treatment method. Nowadays, millions of businesses and households around the world are using ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection systems.

How does UV water purification work?

In the process of UV water treatment, the water passes through the UV water filter system, and all organisms in the water are exposed to UV radiation. UV radiation attacks the genetic code of microorganisms and rearranges their DNA, making them unable to function and reproduce If microorganisms cannot reproduce anymore, they cannot replicate and therefore cannot infect other organisms in contact with them.

In short, the UV system processes water at the correct wavelength of light, thereby damaging the DNA of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, viruses, and cysts.

What does the ultraviolet water purifier remove?

Ultraviolet water disinfectors can effectively kill 99.99% of harmful aquatic microorganisms, including:

• Cryptosporidium
• Bacteria
• E.coli
• Cholera
• Flu
• Giardia
• Viruses
• Infectious Hepatitis
• Typhoid Fever
• Dysentery
• Cryptosporidium
• Polio
• Salmonella
• Meningitis
• Coliform
• Cysts

How long does it take for ultraviolet rays to kill bacteria in water?

The UV water purification process is fast! When water flows through the UV chamber, bacteria and other aquatic microorganisms are killed within ten seconds. The UV water disinfection process uses special UV lamps that emit specific wavelengths of UV light. These ultraviolet rays (known as sterilization spectra or frequencies) have the ability to damage microbial DNA. The frequency used to kill microorganisms is 254 nanometers (nm).

Why use a UV water filter?

The ultraviolet system exposes water to ultraviolet radiation and effectively destroys 99.99% of harmful microbial pollutants in the water. The integrated pre filter will filter out sediment, heavy metals, etc. to ensure that the UV system can effectively complete its work.

During the UV water treatment process, water is supplied through the chamber of the UV system, where light is exposed to the water. Ultraviolet radiation can disrupt the cellular function of microorganisms, making them unable to grow or reproduce, leading to death.

UV treatment is effective for all bacteria, including Cryptosporidium and Giardia with thick cell walls, as long as the correct dose of UV is applied. Ultraviolet radiation is also applicable to viruses and protozoa.

As a general rule, we recommend that our customers install integrated UV water filters with RO drinking water systems. In this way, you will receive the best in the world! The ultraviolet system removes microbial pollutants, while the reverse osmosis filtration system removes fluoride (85-92%), lead (95-98%), chlorine (98%), pesticides (up to 99%), and many other pollutants.
