Description

The Ultra-Violet Light System consists of a UV lamp housed inside a fused quartz sleeve which seals the lamp from direct water contact. The sleeve, in turn, is housed in a stainless steel treatment chamber. The UV rays pass through the quartz sleeve and into the surrounding water. This UV ray destroys most strains of bacteria. The low-pressure germicidal UV lamp produces a slightly shorter UV ray in concentrated form. 90% of the energy produced by this lamp has a wavelength of 254 nanometers, which is lethal to many waterborne microorganisms. Use of this component is based on customer preference.

The light utilize a wall mounted power supply with indicator lights showing the light status. They are also equipped with an intensity meter, which monitors the intensity based on start-up of the unit with new bulbs and sleeves.

98% of all bacteria strains are destroyed at an intensity of less than 22,000 μW sec/cm2. Therefore the manufacturer rates bacteria destruction of 98-99% effectiveness.
