UV Disinfection 101 - Sponsored Whitepaper

Water is a resource that all of us tend to take for granted. We turn on the shower, the kitchen faucet, and the garden hose and out pours an endless supply of fresh, clean water. What many of us may not realize, though, is that our water supply may not be as clean as it appears. Chlorine is a popular chemical that can provide an effective disinfectant residual but it is unable to effectively treat some pathogens found in water like giardia and cryptosporidium. Exposure to these chlorine- resistant pathogens can cause severe gastrointestinal illness and even death among people with compromised immune systems. Ultraviolet (UV) technology is more effective than chemicals in destroying certain waterborne contaminants without altering the taste of water. This makes it a practical process for treating water used for drinking and food preparation.
