The method of ultraviolet germicidal light being used in purification and disinfection of water, air and surface is a unique and rapid method, without the use of heat or chemicals.

The Need
It is proven scientifically that 85% of child sickness and 65% of adult diseases are produced by water-borne viruses, bacteria and intestinal protozoa such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. Inappropriate water treatment can lead to heath problems - hepatitis B, tuberculosis, meningitis, typhoid fever, tricomoniasis, and cholera, glaucoma, gastrointestinal pain, salmonella, poliovirus, and diarrhea. In North America, E.coli O157:H7, an extremely dangerous strain of E.coli bacteria, infects more than 80,000 people annually. Fortunately, E.coli O157:H7 is easily inactivated by UV light.
Disinfecting your drinking water with ultraviolet light (UV) makes good sense. It's environmentally safe, it's well proven, and it's the way of the future for water disinfection requirements around the globe.

The advantages of using UV include:
 No known toxic or significant nontoxic byproducts introduced
 Removes some organic contaminants
 Leaves no smell or taste in the treated water
 Requires very little contact time (seconds versus minutes for chemical disinfection)
 Improves the taste of water because some organic contaminants and nuisance
microorganisms are destroyed
 Many pathogenic microorganisms are killed or rendered inactive.
 Does not affect minerals in water
 

Well Water
Many rural homeowners who draw their water from private wells assume that their water is safe. Unless the water has been tested, however, there is no way to know whether it contains potentially harmful pathogens. A coliform count indicates that a well is contaminated. Faulty sewage or manure systems or field run-off can be sources of the contamination.
Many livestock producers wish to protect their animals from poor water quality and install water treatment systems that incorporate UV for disinfection.

Surface Water
In many rural regions, homes and cottages draw their water directly from lakes or streams, which collect potentially harmful storm run-off. Add that many animals live in these lakes and streams, and the likelihood of microbial contamination in these supplies is high. Again, the water can be tested, and a coliform count will indicate whether the water should be disinfected.
As with any water supply, the level of contamination can vary throughout the seasons. Water is most likely to be contaminated with microorganisms during rainy season when levels are high and run-off peaks. Consequently, the rainy season is an ideal time to test your water.
Testing private water supplies is typically necessary before selling a rural home. But often only then do water contamination problems become known. If a problem does exist, vendors must often prove that the water is safe before the prospective buyers will take ownership. Installing an ultraviolet water disinfection system is an effective, straightforward way to solve these types of water contamination problems.

Public Water Supplies
Even people in communities served by municipally treated water are installing UV systems. Concerns over the health affects of chlorine have prompted many families to de-chlorinate their water. Some of these families use UV systems to disinfect their de-chlorinated water. Others install UV systems to back up the municipal treatment process.

Commercial Water
Restaurants, hotels, resorts, and campgrounds must supply safe water to their guests. Many of these establishments now employ UV disinfection systems because they are simpler and easier to handle than chlorination systems.
As well, the sick and elderly are more susceptible to waterborne pathogens than are the young and healthy. Consequently, hospitals and nursing homes must keep their water free from microbial contamination. The medical industry also incorporates UV into essential processes such as dialysis.

Process Water for Industry
Factories and laboratories with low water use but high quality requirements can take advantage of UV disinfection systems to treat their water. Some processes are unable to tolerate chlorine, and the food and beverage industry wants to eliminate the odour and taste of chlorine from their products. 
The germicidal ultraviolet lamps utilized produce short wave radiation lethal to bacteria, virus and other microorganisms. Throughout the years ultraviolet technology has become well established as a method of choice for its effectiveness, economy, safety, speed, ease of use, and because the process is free of by-products

Drinking Water Applications:
- under sink installs & water vending machines
- aircraft, boats & recreational vehicles
- water wells & water cisterns
- swimming pool & hot tubs
- farms, ranches & trailer parks
- schools & hotels
- aquarium, hatcheries and nurseries
- ice making

NOTE: It is recommended that a 5 micron or better sediment prefilter be installed upstream of the purifier. Water over 7 grams per gallon hard needs a softener and iron has to be reduced to less than 0.3 parts per million for the purifier to operate effectively.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Purifiers  design has been carefully conceived to provide adequate germicidal dosage throughout the
disinfection chamber. The dosage, as it applies to ultraviolet disinfection, is a function of time and the intensity of
ultraviolet radiation to which the water is exposed. The exposure time, in seconds, is the total time it takes the water to
flow through the disinfection chamber exposing it to the germicidal lamp. Exposure time is related to the flow rate; the
higher the flow rate, the lower the exposure time or the lower the flow rate, the higher the exposure time. The
ultraviolet intensity is the amount of energy, per unit time, emitted by the germicidal lamp. The Dosage is the product
of ultraviolet intensity and the exposure time. The operation of the PURIFIERS is as follows:
1. Water enters the purifier and flows into the annular space between the quartz sleeve and the chamber wall.
2. Suspended microorganisms are exposed to the ultraviolet rays emitted by the germicidal lamp.
3. The LED indicator light, located on the ballast, provides visual indication of germicidal lamp operation.
4. Water leaving the purifier is instantly ready for use, no further contact time is required.

(UV) water purifiers are capable of treating small to mid size water flow projects designed for commercial and residential (whole house - point-of-entry & drinking water point-of-use)
