How UV Light Works

No micro organisms are known to be immune to Ultra Violet light. It will kill or incapacitate bacteria, mould, fungal spores, viruses and yeasts. UV sterilization systems represent an economical yet effective solution to water sterilization without the use of chemicals.

There is a very real risk of contamination in drinking water from bores, tanks & rivers throughout Australia with even some town supplies carry bacteria & Cysts, Giardia & Cryptosporidium.

Lamps are recommended to be replaced every 12 months to keep the system working at peak bacteria killing performance.

Lamps are easily replaced by sliding the new lamp inside the quartz thimble. These systems can be mounted vertically or horizontally as well using the C shape mounting clips supplied.

Warranty

1 Year warranty on S/S chamber and 1 year on ballast, subject to usage. Not suitable for saltwater applications.

A 5 micron per-filter must be install before the UV light to remove dirt and sediment to expose any bacteria to the UV light for treatment.

Ultraviolet sterilisation can only be effective if your water source is clear enough for UV light to penetrate.

Filter kits are available to suit most applications.
