UV water disinfection – how it works and what to look out for

What UV does

Ultraviolet radiation is used to inactivate microorganisms without the addition of chemicals.

What is required for proper operation

• Clean water without many suspended particles.
• Proper flow rate.
• Clean quartz sleeve.
• Timely lamp replacement.

Important

UV does not remove salts or sediment. It usually operates in conjunction with appropriate pre-filtration.
