Ultraviolet Water Filters
Ultra violet water filters offer pure and clean water by eliminating all
living organisms and other contaminants. They provide efficient and
effective water treatment. Water purification done through these filters is
a unique technique, introduced recently to eradicate wide number of
microorganisms like bacteria, virus, algae, mold without the use of heat or
any chemicals. Used in several applications, this is an efficacious method
of water disinfection. Highly reliable as compared with other filtration
methods, this is simple, economical and needs less maintenance.
Working of Ultraviolet Filters
Purification of water is done by ultraviolet purification technique which
is capable to remove severe and harmful microorganisms like algae, fungi,
virus and many more. When the water is passed through ultra violet chamber,
it is treated with concentrated amount of UV light energy, effectively
killing all microbes and microorganisms.
Benefits of Ultraviolet Filters
Ultraviolet filters use non
chemical approach to disinfect water. They use germicidal lamps, which are
manufactured to produce a calculated dosage of ultraviolet (usually at least
16,000 micro-watt seconds per square centimeter). Some more advantages of
this ultraviolet filtration are :
- Easily installed within existing water treatment facilities
- No harmful by products are formed
- No chemicals and hazardous risks are there for operators
- Very simple and easy to operate
- Vastly effective on vast range of pathogens like E.coli, Giardia,
Cryptosporidium etc.
- Independent from pH and temperature conditions
- Less operating costs and maintenance is required
Applications of Ultraviolet Filters
Covering vast range of
applications, Ultra violet water filters render most effective water
treatment and disinfectant process. They are highly used in many industries
like Bottling industry, Pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, Hospitals,
Food industry, Waste water treatment plants, Nurseries, Swimming pools,
Laboratories, Farms and ranches, Electronic industry and Hatcheries and
aquariums.
Why Ultraviolet Light ?
Ultraviolet light light is the part of
light spectrum, classified in three wavelengths. The 3 wavelength ranges are
UV-A, from 315 nm to 400 nm, UV-B, from 280 nm to 315 nm and UV-C, from 100
nm to 280 nm. Among them, also known as germicidal ultraviolet UV-C is
responsible for water purification. Along with deactivating DNA of pathogens
like bacteria, viruses etc., it destroys their ability to grow and cause
diseases. Besides killing hazardous bacteria, microorganisms and viruses,
ultraviolet water filter also eliminate chlorine byproducts, lead etc. that
are extremely harmful to our health. Due to all these qualities the water
that passes ultraviolet light water purification systems are one of the
healthiest, safe and used in different household utilities.
