General UV Disinfection Information
UV water disinfection is a commonly used technology that leaves no taint, chemicals or residues in the treated water. Disinfection using UV light is quick and clean and no bacteria, viruses or moulds are immune to the killing power of UV.

UV disinfection units, often called 'UV sterilisers' or 'UV filters', comprise a stainless steel reactor chamber housing a UV lamp or lamps located inside protective quartz sleeves. These lamps are tailored to emit UV at 254 nm, which is quite lethal to DNA contained in the cells of the bacteria. The UV breaks and modifies the DNA chain, stopping the bacteria from reproducing, effectively killing it. UV is often used for water disinfection, however, it can also be used to disinfect air in ducts and rooms as well as surfaces of cartons, packaging, conveyors and even products themselves.
