Ultra-Violet Equipment for Bacteria in Water

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there could be as many as 12 million cases of waterborne acute gastrointestinal illness annually in the United States alone. These illnesses are frequently caused by bacteria, viruses and protozoa that make their way into the water supply. And unfortunately, these contaminants can survive in the environment for months.

Even well operated, state-of-the-art treatment plants cannot ensure that drinking water is entirely free of microbial pathogens. System failures do occur, and not all systems are functioning at the levels they should. And bottled water, which is unregulated and varies considerably, may not offer any more safeguards against pathogens than tap water.

For bacteria problems in your water, we typically recommend installing an ultra-violet light. There are certainly other ways to fix this problem, but they all require high maintenance or chemical additives to the water supply, which in turn causes more maintenance problems.

Ultra-violet lights are simple to use, highly effective, and generally only require an annual change of the ultra-violet bulb. Under sink bulbs are available for just drinking water applications. Whole house bulbs allow you to safely drink water at all locations around the home, rather than just the kitchen sink.

UV lights come in a wide variety of sizes to treat water at virtually any flow rate you have.
