Ultraviolet Water Sterilizer
Five Star Water Systems commercial and residential Ultraviolet Water Sterilizer Systems are specifically designed to meet the demanding microorganism control concern. These microorganisms can range from bacteria and viruses to algae and protozoa. A major advantage of UV treatment is that it is capable of disinfecting water faster than chlorine without cumbersome retention tanks and harmful chemicals to your drinking water. Our Ultraviolet Water Sterilizers are also extremely cost efficient, the most ecological way of treating your well water!
The UV lamp incorporates natural ultraviolet light energy to eradicate microbiological contamination. Water enters through the bottom part of the reactor chamber and swirls around a high output, low pressure mercury vapor lamp thermally protected by a quartz sleeve. The UV lamp emits powerful ultraviolet light. Energy components contained in microorganisms absorb the light energy; this disrupts the DNA and prevents reproduction. The UV lamp should be replaced annually.
