Ultra Violet light: When do we need to add a UV light to our system?Updated 3 months ago

The primary use for a UV light is to disinfect filtered water at a certain flow rate. Bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms are destroyed by the UV interfering with the DNA and RNA in the organisms' reproductive cycles.

If you are on a municipal water system (chlorinated tap water) in the U.S., chances are you will not need a UV light on top of our Ultimate RO System. If you are on well water, or if you suspect your water source is unsafe and want to have extra protection, then you can add a UV light to ensure safe drinking water. More info on UV lights.
