UV globes/UV fluorescent tubes are like security guards in your UV water disinfection system, shining a light on harmful intruders in your water and taking them down!
At UV Guard, we provide UV globes/UV fluorescent tubes of the same high quality as our UV disinfection systems for safe water you can count on.
How Do UV Globes/UV Fluorescent Tubes Work?
UV globes/UV fluorescent tubes are the heroes of UV water disinfection systems. These types of light bulbs contain mercury, and when electricity flows through them, it activates the mercury vapour. This activation causes the mercury to release a kind of ultraviolet (UV) light called UV-C.
As water flows past the UV-C light, the light penetrates the cells of harmful microorganisms in the water. This exposure damages the DNA of the microorganisms, making it impossible for them to reproduce and cause infections. This process disinfects the water without adding chemicals or changing the water’s taste or odour.
What Are the Benefits of Using UV Globes/UV Fluorescent Tubes in Water Treatment?
UV globes/UV fluorescent tubes in water treatment are
- Effective at inactivating various harmful microorganisms so water is safe to drink, including bacteria, viruses, and protozoa.
- Efficient, disinfecting water after just a brief exposure to their light.
- Easy to maintain, requiring only a periodic replacement and occasional checking that their light isn’t obstructed.
- Chemical-free, meaning no chemical by-products in your water and no alteration to the water’s taste or smell.
- Environmentally friendly and sustainable, since no chemicals are involved.
- Safe to use and maintain, again, because no hazardous chemicals are involved.
