When it comes to the water you use in your home, there are many things to consider. One factor that you might not be familiar with, however, is UV disinfection. UV disinfection eliminates dangerous germs, including viruses, bacteria, and protozoa, that can contaminate water sources and endanger your health. While this may sound like a modern way to access to clean water, it’s a proven technique that has been used for centuries.
At Progressive Water Solutions LLC, we can help you add UV disinfection solutions to your home to ensure that the water you use is as clean as possible. UV disinfection leaves no chemical residue and doesn’t change the pH, taste, or odor of the water, in contrast to conventional disinfection techniques, which can introduce potentially hazardous byproducts into the water. This makes it a sustainable and eco-friendly method of treating water.
Here are a few other quick facts that you may want to know about UV disinfection methods:
- UV light with a wavelength of 254 nanometers penetrates bacteria’ cell membranes, destroying their DNA and stopping replication.
- UV disinfection is fast, and it can significantly reduce bacteria in just a few seconds.
- UV disinfection requires minimal contact time and can process large amounts of water quickly.
- UV disinfection can be readily integrated into existing water treatment systems.
