Functionality: How does UV work?Updated 3 months ago

The germicidal energy of ultraviolet light destroys illness-causing microorganisms by attacking their genetic core (DNA). This powerful dose of UV light (wavelength of 253.7 nanometers) eliminates their ability to reproduce, and the organisms simply die. Disinfecting your water with ultraviolet light is exceptionally simple, effective and environmentally safe: our systems destroy 99.99% of harmful microorganisms without adding chemicals or changing your water's taste or odor. It is well proven, and it is the way of the future for water disinfection.
