Description
A UV lamp (also called a UV light bulb) is used within a UV water treatment system. These ultraviolet lamps emit light in the UV-C spectrum that penetrates harmful microorganisms (like bacteria and viruses) in water and damages their DNA. This damage prevents the microorganisms from replicating and causing infection and illness.
Why should you choose this water disinfection method?
1. There’s no need for chemicals, as the germicidal UV lamp does all the work to clear the water of bacteria through its ultraviolet light waves.
2. It’s environmentally friendly thanks to not using harmful chemicals, and, in turn, you avoid dealing with chemical residues and byproducts.
3. The water’s taste and smell aren’t altered.
4. It’s safe; the UV light bulb is fitted within a case to protect you from exposure.
It’s important to note that an ultraviolet lamp will not rid water of particles without another filtration method. Germicidal UV lamps are for destroying living organisms and bacteria, not filtering out small particles like sediment, dirt, minerals, and heavy metals.
