Uncover the Power of UV Water Purifiers

Blog

If you’re looking for the best UV water purifier, you’ve come to the right place. This guide delves into the power of UV and how you can use it to sterilise your water. Water purifiers work by using UV light to blast pathogens, making water safe to drink.

Ultraviolet water filters are one of UV Guard’s areas of expertise. We provide top-quality, innovative purification solutions that can filter high flow rates at low pressure, delivering exceptional results at low ongoing costs.

What are UV Water Purifiers?

Did you know that domestic water sometimes contains impurities? It can cause a variety of diseases, and some studies have linked long-term exposure to nasty pathogens in domestic water with cancer. If you’re in need of sterile water, a UV water filter is the only water to neutralise 99.999% of microbes. 

A UV water purifier is an innovative device that inactivates and neutralises pathogens using ultraviolet radiation. In UV Guard’s purifiers, water is filtered through a UV chamber, where a UV light is shined through it. As water is translucent, the UV seamlessly passes through it and into the chamber wall, being neutralised by the WaterMark-certified stainless steel design. 

UV treatment effectively neutralises all pathogens in the water without changing its taste or smell because the water doesn’t retain UV. This means you can drink the UV-treated water right away, and it will taste just the same, if not better, than your usual tap water.

Compared to traditional clarification methods such as chlorination, UV treatment is better. Chlorination requires chlorine, which can be harmful in large concentrations. Any errors in dosing, whether due to equipment failure or human error, can result in dangerous drinking water when relying on chlorination. In contrast, UV treatment ensures that drinking water stays safe and disinfected, sidestepping these risks.

UV also offers a more complete purification process than other forms of filtration like reverse osmosis (RO). While RO and other filters can remove physical impurities, they do not eliminate harmful pathogens in the water. UV technology can target and neutralise these pathogens, making it a more effective method of water purification.

FAQs About UV Water Purifiers

How long does a UV water purifier last?2024-11-05T15:56:25+11:00

With proper care, your UV purifier should last up to 12 months. At this point, you’ll probably need to do some basic maintenance like changing the bulb. Some purifiers also have an indicator light that will let you know when it’s time to replace the bulb.

Clean the quartz sleeve and chamber regularly, as dirt build-up will reduce the ability of UV light to penetrate the water and properly disinfect it. Regularly check the water flow rate to ensure that it is at the recommended level for your specific purifier. A decrease in flow rate may indicate that maintenance is needed or a part needs to be replaced.

How do I choose a UV water filter?2024-11-05T15:52:25+11:00

Consider your budget, flow rate needs, and the type of contaminants you want to remove when choosing a UV water filter. Look for filters with multiple stages of filtration to ensure thorough removal of any harmful substances.

Opt for a reputable brand like UV Guard to get the best bang for your buck. Our products are backed by a decade of innovation and a commitment to excellence that our clients love. If you’re in need of a water purifier, contact us now to find the right option for you.

Which is better: UV lamp or LED for water purifiers?2024-11-05T15:48:43+11:00

LEDs (Light-Emitting Diodes) can emit UV light, but UV lamps are more prevalent due to their efficiency and effectiveness in producing the required UV-C light for disinfection. UV lamps are designed to emit at the optimal wavelength for water purification.

While LED technology is advancing, UV lamps remain the predominant choice for water purifiers.

Is UV water better than boiled water?2024-11-05T15:34:59+11:00

Both UV-treated water and boiled water are effective methods of disinfection, each with its own set of advantages. Boiling heats water to 100* celsius, which is more than hot enough to kill off any pathogens or bacteria. It can be hard to boil water on a large scale, and boiling only keeps the water sterile for up to 30 minutes after reaching temp.

If you’re looking for a more sustainable, still chemical-free option, UV water’s your best bet. You can achieve high flow rates depending on the system, and it’s recommended to install a UV filter system on your home’s main water supply, ensuring the entire household has access to clean water.

What is the downside of UV disinfection water?2024-11-05T15:31:23+11:00

One potential downside of UV disinfection water is that it does not remove physical impurities such as sediment or debris from the water. This means that if the source water contains visible particles, they may need to be filtered out separately before using a UV purifier.

Don’t stress, you can combat this with a pre-filter or sediment filter that will remove these impurities before the water enters the UV purifier.

Which is the best UV water purifier?2024-11-05T15:27:59+11:00

Selecting the best UV water purifier depends on specific needs, including water source, usage volume, and desired features. Brands like UV Guard have highly regarded models that cater to a range of requirements, from portable devices for personal use to whole-house systems.

UV Guard’s water purifiers are highly regarded as one of the best in the business. Innovative UV water filter systems are no longer a luxury, but rather a necessity in today’s world where clean water sources are becoming increasingly scarce.

Is UV water purifiers worth it?2024-11-05T15:23:09+11:00

Absolutely! UV water purifiers are worth the cost, guaranteeing high-quality sterile water at a fraction of the cost of bottled water. Not only is it cost-effective, but it also does not use any chemicals and leaves no harmful by-products in the treated water.

Plus, maintaining a UV light water purifier doesn’t cost a lot – you pretty much just have to replace the lamp every 12 months and get the system serviced once every 18-24 months.
