How Does UV Light Work?
The germicidal energy of ultraviolet light destroys illness-causing microorganisms by attacking their genetic core (DNA). This powerful dose of UV light eliminates their ability to reproduce, and the organisms simply die.
Water is purified by running it through a watertight chamber that contains an ultraviolet lamp. As water flows past, microorganisms are exposed to a lethal dose of germicidal UV energy.
Cryptosporidium (left), the microorganism responsible for 50 deaths and widespread illness when it contaminated Milwaukee’s drinking water supply in 1993, is almost completely resistant to chlorine. Giardia (right), causes gastrointestinal complications commonly know as beaver-fever, and is also highly resistant to chlorine.
