UV TECHNOLOGY
The water disinfection properties of ultraviolet light were discovered over 100 years ago. It has been established that UV-C rays, at a 260nm wavelength, are capable of permanently killing 99.99% of all bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms present in water by attacking their DNA. This is why major cities and most of the industrial community has moved away from chlorine as the traditional water sanitizer because of grave health risks, notably many forms of cancer.
The new standard? UV technology.
The key elements to disinfect water in an efficient manner are two-fold:
1. UV Light Exposure Time Micro-organisms in water have to be exposed to UV light for at least 1 second in order to be destroyed. The UVTECH system exposes water passing in the stainless steel tube for over 2 seconds, which creates an ample safety buffer to optimize disinfection.
2. Energy Generated (in micro-watts/sec./cm2) The energy generated by UV rays at the farthest distance from the lamp indicate its disinfection efficiency level. The UVTECH system produces 70,000 micro-watts/sec./cm2. Furthermore, the reflection of the light on the stainless steel chamber increases the energy level by 30%*. The total energy released therefore reaches 91,000 micro-watts/sec./cm2, which is more than sufficient to completely eradicate all micro-organisms.
