UV light for water treatment

UV light for water treatment

Micro organisms including bacteria, viruses and cysts are all around us naturally. Many are harmless but exposure to "bad" ones can cause severe illness particularly in the elderly and very young. There is a wide variety of water treatment products available to improve taste, clarity, scale etc but none of these are designed to combat bacteria. Ultra violet water treatment is one of the safest ways to disinfect water as the UV rays are a natural component of sunlight. No chemicals are added so there is no danger from overdosing or creating a bad taste. 

Compared with other disinfection forms, UV sterilizer has the following advantages:

Ø  High efficient sterilization: normally kill 99%-99.9% bacteria within 1 to 2 seconds.

Ø  Broad spectrum: UV rays has the broadest spectrum, killing almost all bacteria and virus.

Ø  No secondary pollution: don`t add any chemical agent, it does not create secondary pollution to water and surrounding environment, do not change any ingredients in water.

Ø  Safe and reliable to operate: traditional disinfection technology such as adopt chloride and ozone, the disinfectants themselves are highly toxic and flammable material. While UV sterilizer has no such potential safety hazard.

Ø  Low maintenance fee: UV sterilizer occupies a small area (and have a simple structure requirement, so smaller total investment and lower operation cost are easy to achieve).Its cost only half than chlorine disinfection in kiloton water treatment.
