Cabinet Based UV Water Sterilizer for Drinking Water Disinfection

Ultra Violet Sterilisation Systems Domestic Range
 
are made of high quality stainless steel and comprise of s/s chamber containing a germicidal lamp and quartz sleeve plus a separate electrical box which allows flexibility for fitting.
 
When selecting an ultraviolet system care must be taken to choose a model that is powerful enough to treat the flow required. If the flow is faster than specified  the water passes through the chamber too fast for the rays to effectively kill all the bacteria
 
Where levels of sediment are high or water is cloudy a pre-filter should be fitted as shadowing from the particles could stop the UV rays reaching the organisms.
Ultra violet water treatment systems (UV sterilisers) kill bacteria in water. They are often used to ensure safe drinking water from well, spring and borehole water supplies. Due to increased legislation are now regularly used in food and drink related industries.
Micro organisms including bacteria, viruses and cysts are all around us naturally. Many are harmless but exposure to "bad" ones can cause severe illness particularly in the elderly and very young. There is a wide variety of water treatment products available to improve taste, clarity, scale etc but none of these are designed to combat bacteria. Ultra violet water treatment is one of the safest ways to disinfect water as the UV rays are a natural component of sunlight. No chemicals are added so there is no danger from overdosing or creating a bad taste



Usages and Advantages
· Effective: Virtually all microorganisms are susceptible to UV disinfection
· Automatic: Continuous or intermittent disinfection without special attention
· Fast: Water is ready for consumption as soon as it leaves the cell
· Easy: Simple installation and maintenance. Minimum space requirement
· Safe: No danger or way of overdosing, no addition of hazardous chemicals
· Versatile: Capacities available from 2 to 80 gallons per minute
· Economical: Hundreds of gallons of water can be purified for a few cents per day
· No Chemicals: No chlorine taste or corrosion problems





How Does UV Sterilisation Work?
 
The optimum solution to remove ecoli , cryptosporidium , coliforms and all bacteria from your water is to install a Nature's Water Ltd. Ultraviolet Water Sterilizer. This will then allow you to have 100% bacteria free water in your premises - NO MORE VIRUSES OR BACTERIA! We can call and install the system for you. Click here for more information. If required we can call to you and assess your premises for location and workings of the system first-hand, Click here for a free call-out. If you would like a full water analysis from the laboratory to ensure that Coliform Bacteria is the only issue click here to arrange a water test.






What Contaminants Do UV Sterilizers Remove? 
 
There are no micro-organisms known to be resistant to UV, unlike chlorination. UV is known to be highly effective against bacteria, viruses, algae, molds and yeasts, and disease causing oocysts like cryptosporidium and giardia. In practice, bacteria and viruses are the cause of most major waterborne pathogenic diseases. Of these enteric viruses, hepatitis virus have been shown to survive for considerable periods in the presence of chlorine, but are readily eliminated by UV treatment. For most microorganisms, the removal efficiency of UV for microbiological contaminants such as bacteria and virus generally exceeds 99.99%.

FAQ:



Is UV 100% effective? 
 
UV disinfection typically offers a 99.99% reduction in both bacteria and virus and is more effective than chemical disinfection processes at destroying viruses. 
 
Does UV remove E. coli? 
 
Yes, E. coli requires a UV dose of between 6 to 12 mJ/cm2 to achieve 4-log disinfection. This is well within the capabilities of the Sterilight UV system. 
 
How much does it cost to operate? UV systems are extremely economical to operate. 
 
A typical household UV system operates on the same power requirements as a 40 watt light bulb! 
 
Will UV change the taste or smell of my water? 
 
UV is a physical disinfection process, no additives are required. It does not change the taste or odour of the water. It simply provides safe reliable disinfection. 
 
How do I know the system is working? 
 
All UV systems come with "lamp-out" monitors which give an audible and visual signal in case of lamp failure. Sterilight GOLD systems incorporate true UV intensity monitors so an alarm will sound if the disinfection effectiveness falls below a safe level. 
 
Why do I need Disinfection? 
 
Disinfection is required on all water supplies that are not protected by a municipal water source. Due to the uncertainties that exist within some water systems, we can no longer rely on the fact that our water supplies "may be safe." By providing your own disinfection, you are taking the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the water supply for you and your family.
