How UV Water Treatment Works
-
UV water treatment works by moving water past an ultraviolet lamp before it enters a home's main water supply. Ultraviolet water treatment kills up to 99.99 percent of harmful bacteria and contaminants including E. coli and salmonella.
Who Should Use UV Water Treatment Systems
-
UV water treatment systems are very important for rural residents dependent on a well-water supply. Users of well water do not have access to treated municipal water and must implement their own strategies to filter and treat their water. UV water treatment is also useful for camping, boating and recreation, as well as for individuals who desire cleaner, better tasting water.
