Do I need a UV light for my water filtration system?

15 Apr.,2024

 

Ultraviolet water disinfection is considered to be a "final barrier solution" for the water coming into the home.

While the U.S. has some of the cleanest water in the world, the ever-increasing threat of leaching pipes, corrosion, and plant power outages are very real causes for concern. Despite treatment at municipal water plants, harmful waterborne microbes may still be found in household water.

There are a variety of factors that point to the need for final barrier technology to ensure household water is safe. For example, research conducted by Dr. Charles P. Gerba, a well-known expert in the field of microbiology of water and professor of environmental science at the University of Arizona, found that contamination of distribution systems (pipes carrying water to homes), either through intrusion or main breakage is widespread.

Ultraviolet water disinfection systems are environmentally friendly and use UV light to remove 99.99% of waterborne microorganisms.

Please answer a few questions, and we'll suggest the UV system that best suits your needs.
