Do you want the peace of mind that comes with turning on your tap and knowing that every drop of water is crystal-clear and contaminant-free?
Whether you’re a home or business owner (or both!), UV light water treatment is a game-changer. It employs cutting-edge technology to provide healthy and sustainable water treatment.
At UV Guard, we’re not shy about admitting that we’re champions in this field!
So, let’s explore our innovative UV water filtration systems, how they work, plus their applications and benefits to you, your family, and your business.
What is
UV Water Treatment?
UV light water treatment uses ultraviolet (UV) light to disinfect water from harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
As water passes through a UV chamber, it’s exposed to UV-C light emitted by a UV lamp. This short wavelength of ultraviolet light penetrates the DNA of harmful microorganisms, disrupting their genetic material. This disruption hinders their ability to reproduce and renders them incapable of causing infections and illnesses.
What sets UV water treatment apart is that it effectively eliminates a broad spectrum of pathogens without introducing chemicals or altering the taste and smell of water.
This process produces safe water for drinking and manufacturing processes in residential and commercial settings.
What are the benefits of residential UV water treatment?
- Destruction of 99.99% of pathogens from drinking water, including E. coli, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia.
- Quick disinfection.
- Low maintenance.
- Energy efficiency.
- Cost-effectiveness.
And the benefits of commercial UV water treatment?
- Continuous water disinfection for high-flow systems.
- Broad spectrum disinfection.
- Reduced reliance on chemical disinfectants.
- Easy maintenance.
- Compliance with regulatory health and safety standards.
UV Guard’s Role
in Residential UV
Water Treatment
UV water filtration systems dispense clean, safe water in your home for drinking, cooking, bathing, and other household activities.
These systems are low maintenance, requiring a UV lamp replacement about once a year. But that’s not all! They’re also energy-efficient, using approximately the same amount of power as a standard light bulb.
You can install your system at the point where water enters your home to treat all the water in your house. Or, you can opt for an under-sink unit to purify water at a specific point, like the kitchen sink.
We’ve designed our chemical-free residential UV water treatment systems for optimal performance, reliability, and convenience.
