3 Key Differences Between UV Disinfection and Other Water Purification Systems

HomeBlog3 Key Differences Between UV Disinfection and Other Water Purification Systems

There are many different options available when choosing a new water purification system for your property. One option to consider is UV disinfection. Here are three key differences between UV disinfection and other water purification systems.

  1. Eradicates microorganisms: Many other water purification systems can remove chemicals and other contaminants in your water, but not all of them are as effective at eliminating microorganisms. UV disinfection sterilizes the water with UV light and eliminates microorganisms by damaging their DNA and RNA, so they can’t replicate and spread through the rest of the water.
  1. No chemicals required: UV disinfection uses UV light instead of any of the chemicals that might be used by other purification systems. This ensures you never have to worry about any chemical residue or byproducts left in your water. It will never change the taste, smell, or color of your water besides leaving you with fresh, clean, and safe water.
  1. Cannot remove other contaminants: While UV disinfection is an effective way to clear your water of bacteria and other microorganisms, it isn’t able to remove other contaminants like chemicals or sediment in the water. You will need a prefiltration system in place if you need to accomplish this.
