The only way to be confident your water is free of pathogenic microbes is to destroy them by disinfection.

Although widely used for disinfection, chlorine has several major disadvantages.

Chlorine reacts with natural organic materials found in water to produce strong unpleasant tastes, objectionable odor and other byproducts.  Some of these byproducts, such as chloroform, are now regulated contaminants in drinking water because of their carcinogenic properties.

UV, by comparison is a natural process that disinfects without chemicals.  No byproducts are created.

UV destroys pathogenic microbes by delivering concentrated amounts of UV (light) energy to the reproductive mechanism of the microbe.  This prevents the microbe from reproducing.  The microbe is considered dead and the risk of disease has been eliminated.

Other benefits of UV Disinfection:

• Immediate process
  (no storage tank required)
• Beneficial minerals are not removed
• Economical disinfection process compared  with the other technologies.
