Drinking Water

UV light is tried and trusted technology for treatment of municipal and domestic drinking water around the world.

Drinking Water Disinfection with UV Technology

Fresh water is a finite resource and demand continues to grow for safe drinking water supplies as populations increase and climate change puts pressure on our environments.

UV TECHNOLOGY IS PART OF A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION

Around the world, ultraviolet technology is used as part of the purification treatment process for fresh drinking water.

Helping supply clean water and protecting people in homes and businesses anywhere from remote communities and research outposts to vast municipalities.

With a finite global water supply, pressure is growing on creating sustainable and reusable water supplies from desalination, grey and wastewater sources. The need to purify these types of water creates opportunities in using ultraviolet light as a 'clean and environmentally sound' part of the process.

With the lack of chemical additives and increasingly efficient running costs, UV technology is an environmentally enabling solution to help build a sustainable future for us all.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING A UV BASED SOLUTION?

The benefits of using UV lamp-based disinfection technologies are:

The physical rather than chemical process creates no disinfection by-products.
Pathogens cannot build a resistance to ultraviolet light.
Disinfection systems using UV-C light deactivate chlorine-resistant microorganisms so they cannot reproduce.
Ultraviolet light does not alter the taste or pH of drinking water.
No beneficial minerals are removed from the water.
Efficient treatment systems reduce the energy required to treat water supplies.
The are no chemical storage or handling dangers.
