How Important Is UV Purification On Well Water?

There are many households and cottages that rely on private wells, not all of them have a UV water purification system protecting them from harmful microorganisms.

While a nation-wide study does not exist, smaller scale studies have commonly found that 40% of wells in any given region suffer from E. coli and/or coliform bacteria at any given time, not to mention the countless other microorganisms that may be in a water supply.

The quality of well water can vary from day to day and from year to year in the short term - things like heavy rainfalls or snow melt can affect water quality.  In the long term, quality may be affected by distant contamination sources such as earthquakes, and other factors.  Water that has been safe for years will not necessarily be safe tomorrow.

Compared with other disinfection forms, UV sterilizer has the following advantages:

Ø  High efficient sterilization: normally kill 99%-99.9% bacteria within 1 to 2 seconds.

Ø  Broad spectrum: UV rays has the broadest spectrum, killing almost all bacteria and virus.

Ø  No secondary pollution: don`t add any chemical agent, it does not create secondary pollution to water and surrounding environment, do not change any ingredients in water.

Ø  Safe and reliable to operate: traditional disinfection technology such as adopt chloride and ozone, the disinfectants themselves are highly toxic and flammable material. While UV sterilizer has no such potential safety hazard.

Ø  Low maintenance fee: UV sterilizer occupies a small area (and have a simple structure requirement, so smaller total investment and lower operation cost are easy to achieve).Its cost only half than chlorine disinfection in kiloton water treatment.
