Water Solutions - UV
 
Disinfection without chemicals

Ultra Violet disinfection (commonly abbreviated to U.V) is a well-established, simple and safe technology used for the purpose of disinfecting water without the use of chemicals. UV disinfection of water effectively renders Legionella, Salmonella E-coli and most other waterborne bacteria harmless.

UV disinfection works by the UV light penetrating the cell of micro-organisms living in the water, halting their reproduction rendering them dead and therefore harmless.

Effectiveness of UV Disinfection

The outer skin of bacteria and viruses differ in thickness. The thickness of this skin determines the amount of UV light exposure required to prevent their reproduction (rendering them dead).

The intensity of the light is measured in Micro Watt seconds per centimetres squared (m Wsec/cm²). The most common undesirable bacteria and viruses require an average exposure of between 4,000 and 12,000 m Wsec/cm2.

UV is suitable for a wide range of applications both in the home and commercial premises where there is a risk of or water is suspected of containing harmful bacteria or viruses.
