Rainwater collection and storage is typical in many rural households (and town customers not connected to council mains) with delivery to usage via a pressure pump. Stream/Spring gathered drinking water is also typical in many rural households. These water sources can contain faecal matter from animals and birds and are likely to contain pathogenic organisms. The quality of water from these supplies in terms of mineral/ chemical content is naturally good, however there is always potential for biological contamination. In these situations, UV treatment systems are an efficient method for producing acceptable drinking water. UV water disinfection is a natural, environmentally friendly process which does not add any chemicals into your water and does not change the water chemistry. As water passes through the disinfection chamber, the ultraviolet light energy inactivates harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, effectively preventing them from causing illness. Pre-filtration of the water is necessary prior to the UV disinfection process, and our systems include the necessary pre-filters.
