Protect your family from waterborne microorganisms

The only way to be sure that your water is free of pathogenic microbes is to destroy them. 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.

Ultraviolet light disinfects while avoiding the use of chemical treatments and is safe on the environment. In Europe authorities have utilized UV disinfection in drinking water supplies for more than 90 years. Ultraviolet light disinfects by controlling anything that has nucleic acids. Low doses of UV light have also proven to be equally effective against protozoan organisms such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, which are resistant to chlorine treatment.

Utilizing ultraviolet light disinfection provides an additional level of security to homeowners, especially when their source water is of unknown quality. This whole-house ultraviolet light can provide the additional assurance that the water entering the home is biologically safe to consume.

In order to insure that these lights work properly they should be installed after a whole house water filter, softener or conditioner and the UV bulbs should be replaced once a year.
