August 15, 2021Water Well Maintenance FAQs
December 19, 2022Here at AAA Well & Pump Service, LLC, we strive to be the best in the business for all of your UV Light Water Filter System Installations. We are certified water well contractors in North Carolina, our goal is to provide our clients with great customer service and work that is efficient and cost-affordable.
During the UV water disinfection process, as water passes through a UV water treatment system, living organisms in water are exposed to UV light which attacks the genetic code of the microorganism and rearranges the DNA /RNA, eliminating the microorganism’s ability to function and reproduce.
Ensure your water is safe with ultraviolet (UV) water purification and disinfection. Ultraviolet systems use UV light to produce purified water for the entire house. Without adding or taking anything away from water, UV disinfection is a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly way to remove 99.99% of harmful waterborne microorganisms.
The UV water Disinfection Process
The UV water disinfection process utilizes special UV lamps that emit UV light of a particular wavelength. These UV light waves have the ability, based on their length, to disrupt the DNA of microorganisms. These UV light waves are referred to as the Germicidal Spectrum or Frequency, the frequency used in killing micro-organisms is 254 nanometers (nm).
During the UV water disinfection process, as water passes through a UV water treatment system, living organisms in water are exposed to UV light which attacks the genetic code of the microorganism and rearranges the DNA /RNA, eliminating the microorganism’s ability to function and reproduce.
If a microorganism can no longer reproduce, it cannot replicate, therefore it cannot infect other organisms with which it has contact. This process of exposing water to UV light is simple, effective, and destroys 99.99% of harmful microorganisms without adding any chemicals to water.
UV Light Water Filter System FAQ’S:
How effective are UV lights for water?
Do Ultraviolet Water Filter Systems Work? Yes, UV water filters are very effective at removing microbiological contaminants such as bacteria, fungi, protozoans, viruses, and cysts. Ultraviolet (UV) Water Purification is a proven technology that uses UV light to kill 99.99% of harmful microorganisms in water.
Does the UV process change the taste of my drinking water?
No, disinfection by UV is a physical process and not a chemical process. UV does not alter the water chemistry and will not affect the taste or odor of your water. UV only addresses the microbiological concerns.
Does UV work on all microorganisms?
UV does have an effect on all microorganisms to some effect. Each individual organism requires a different level of exposure (known as UV Dose) in order to prevent cell replication. Some organisms, usually viruses, require extremely high doses of UV light in order to achieve disinfection.
What effect does UV light have on E Coli?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to inhibit cell growth and induce gene damage. For these reasons, UV radiation is used as a method to sterilize surgical instruments because it kills the bacteria present and disrupts bacterial reproduction.
Are UV water filters safe?
UV disinfection is approved by the EPA, and is an environmentally-friendly disinfection method as it is a chemical-free process and creates no byproducts. The UV rays in the water disinfection UV system do not cause cancer. The entire process of exposing water to UV light takes place in an enclosed container posing no risk to family or pets.
Here are the main benefits of UV water purification systems:
-Eliminates 99.9% of microorganisms.
-No chemicals.
-No internally moving parts.
-Flexible UV intensity.
-Compact systems available for the tightest spaces.
-Disinfects water with excellent efficiency.
-Does not affect the color or taste of water.
