How Does A UV Disinfection System Work?
Using electromagnetic energy from an ultraviolet mercury lamp is one of the most effective water purification tactics, destroying 99.99% of harmful contaminants in water. When penetrated by ultraviolet rays, the structure of a microorganism’s cell walls are damaged, rendering them incapable of any growth or reproduction. UV disinfection systems essentially prevent contamination at its source, ensuring clean water for drinking, cooking, bathing, etc.
UV disinfection systems rapidly combat and deactivate all viruses, bacteria, protozoans, and fungi in water. Some viruses and bacteria with thicker cell walls may slip through the cracks if a UV disinfection system light is at a lower power, which is why it is important to keep up with yearly UV lamp replacements and make sure you select the correct product.
How does a UV disinfection system differ from other water purification methods?
When compared to traditional filters, a UV disinfection system works by deactivating or destroying contaminants rather than removing them all together. And unlike chemical treatments such as chlorine, there is an extremely shorter time period in effectively treating the water, and doing so without harsh chemicals that may have harmful overall effects on your home and health. Where a chemical treatment may take 30 minutes or more, a UV disinfection system effectively sterilizes water in a matter of seconds.
