Ultraviolet Light disinfection is an excellent system for destroying virtually all illnesses causing micro-organisms, including E. Coli bacteria, Giardia Lambia, and Cryptosporidium cysts, and swine/avian flu viruses without affecting the taste and odor of the water.The way UV works is a wavelength of light, 254 nm (nanometers) penetrates the micro-organism cell wall to destroy parasite’s ability to reproduce and it therefore kills the microbe.These systems can be designed for a kitchen sink for drinking water or for the whole home or building. The maintenance of these systems is minimal. Depending on the system, the lamp and quartz sleeve needs replacement every 1-2 years.
