UV Water Purifiers
UV water purifiers use light instead of a filter, activated carbon, or
reverse osmosis to remove bacteria and parasites from your water.
UV water purifiers concentrate on the organisms, which live within our
water supply instead of chemicals, minerals, and sediment. How a
UV water purifier works it that it sends your drinking water through a
metal tube where it is exposed to bursts of ultraviolet, light.
The UV
light kills the organisms sterilizing the water
If most of us ever took a look at our drinking water under a microscope,
you would cringe. Our water is teeming with living organisms.
Some of these organisms have no harmful affect on our health were as
other can cause illness. Viruses, bacteria, and parasitic eggs or
cysts can be found in untreated water and from water we get from our
local municipality or utility.
The water that comes from our pipes is not pure it contains dirt
particles, chlorine, pesticide, and bacteria. The EPA has set
standards for about 90 contaminants, which
are found in our drinking water. For a full list, you can view the
EPA's standards, and the possible source of each contaminant along with
its possible health effects, at:
