Stormwater UV Water Treatment

Stormwater harvesting is an opportunity to reuse a valuable resource, reduce strain on infrastructure, and meet environmental discharge standards. UV Guard delivers stormwater UV treatment solutions that support safe reuse without relying on chemicals. Our stormwater UV purification systems are built for councils, commercial properties, and industrial stormwater UV treatment needs.

Reliable Stormwater UV Treatment Technology

When water runs off surfaces like roads, car parks, and paved areas, it carries contaminants including bacteria, viruses, and debris. This run-off is known as stormwater. If left untreated, it can’t be safely reused or discharged.

A well-designed treatment system plays an important role in stormwater management. UV Guard’s systems provide stormwater UV purification that neutralises microorganisms without adding chemicals, making it ideal for irrigation, industrial reuse, or release into the environment.

We offer complete stormwater UV treatment solutions, including pre-filtration options such as coarse and fine sediment removal. Pre-treatment enhances disinfection performance by removing particles that can shield pathogens from UV light.

Our systems, including the Armour, Armour X, and MPX-Series, are designed for different flow rates and site conditions, giving flexibility for councils, industrial estates, and commercial developments looking to improve water reuse outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Find answers to common questions about stormwater UV purification below.

UV systems expose treated stormwater to ultraviolet light, which inactivates bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. This makes the water microbiologically safe for reuse or discharge.

Yes. UV Guard provides tailored industrial stormwater UV treatment solutions suitable for high-volume applications, including processing plants and large commercial sites.

UV treatment targets microorganisms like E. coli, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Salmonella, and other bacteria and viruses. Pre-treatment is recommended to remove larger particles and debris.

UV disinfection requires no chemical dosing and leaves no harmful by-products. It’s a more sustainable and low-maintenance alternative to traditional chemical-based systems.

Yes. UV Guard’s systems are used in both urban stormwater reuse schemes and industrial stormwater UV treatment facilities.

Maintenance typically involves replacing the UV lamp once a year and cleaning the quartz sleeve. Pre-treatment filters, if used, should also be checked and replaced as needed.
