UV light penetrates microorganisms and damages their DNA, preventing them from reproducing. This effectively neutralizes harmful pathogens in the water.

UV dose is the amount of UV energy delivered to water (measured in mJ/cm²). A higher dose ensures effective disinfection. Standard systems typically operate at 30–40 mJ/cm² for safe drinking water.

Key factors:
• Flow rate (LPH or m³/hr)
• Water quality (turbidity, TDS)
• Application (drinking, industrial, etc.)
• Required UV dose

UV systems are effective against:
• Bacteria (e.g., E. coli)
• Viruses
• Protozoa (e.g., Giardia, Cryptosporidium)
Note: UV does not remove dissolved solids, chemicals, or heavy metals.

UV lamps typically last 8,000 to 9,000 hours (~1 year of continuous use). Even if the lamp glows, its intensity decreases over time, so annual replacement is recommended.

No. UV treatment does not alter taste, smell, or color because it is a physical disinfection process.

• Drinking water purification
• Industrial process water
• Pharmaceuticals
• Food & beverage industry
• Hospitals and laboratories
• Wastewater treatment

UV systems require electricity. During power failure, disinfection stops. Many systems include:
• Alarm systems
• Flow shut-off valves (optional for safety)

Basic maintenance includes:
• Replacing UV lamp annually
• Cleaning/replacing quartz sleeve
• Checking ballast and electrical components
• Replacing pre-filters periodically
