Ultraviolet
light destroys bacteria naturally. It is a natural component of sunlight,
falling just below the visible light region of the electromagnetic
spectrum. Higher energy wavelengths of UV light have the unique ability to
destroy micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses, cysts etc.) in water or air,
stopping their ability to multiply and cause infection or illness.

Unlike chemical
disinfectants, which rely on chemical oxidation to disrupt the life
functions of micro-organisms, UV is simply light energy that cripples the
DNA of harmful organisms. By disabling their DNA the life functions of
these organisms are interrupted, rendering them harmless. Because no
chemicals are involved, you don’t have to worry about drinking harmful
chemicals or their by-products.

| Ultraviolet systems
do not affect the taste, odour or clarity of the water supply and require
less energy than a typical household light bulb whilst disinfesting the
entire water flow to your home. |

Using
a special quartz glass, UV lamps are able to generate the exact wavelength
of UV light required for disinfection. Specially designed power supplies
and electronic controls operate and monitor these lamps for optimum
performance. The UV lamp technology is encased within precisely engineered
stainless steel disinfection chambers. This ensures that the UV energy is
distributed effectively as the water passes through the unit. As a result,
any harmful organisms present in your water are subjected to a lethal dose
of UV energy. We recommend that UV systems are serviced and have the lamp
changed annually to maintain the effectiveness of the system. Ultra violet systems
are available in all shapes and sizes depending upon the amount of water
needed, we will take into account all your requirements when recommending
the correct size and type of unit.
