UV Sterilisers
There are more than half a million people in the UK whose only source of drinking water is from a private water supply – these sources fall into one of three main categories: wells, springs / streams and boreholes. Our ultra violet (UV) sterilisers can help you obtain bacteria free drinking water from these untreated supplies.
UV light destroys the cell DNA (or RNA in the case of viruses) making the micro-organisms inactive. Our water sterilisers employ a low pressure mercury vapour discharge lamp surrounded by a water jacket whose inner wall is made from a special UVC transparent quartz material. the lamp produces a very strong spectral line at 254 nm in the shortwave UVC region, which is the waveband most lethal to micro-organisms.
Our units use a stainless steel water chamber maximising full use of the available ultra violet energy resulting in long exposure times and high UV doses whilst minimising UV light absorption into the chamber wall.
Please note that UV sterilisers do not improve the taste of the feed water. They should be incorporated into a system comprising the appropriate water filters to remove particles and to treat the water to make it palatable. Our highly trained staff can advise on the appropriate system to meet any combination of feed water flow and quality.
Wide Range of Consumables
We have permanent stocks of high quality consumables such as quartz sleeves replacement UV lamps and sediment pre-filters for all of our UV steriliser systems.
WRAS Approved
We offer an extensive range of WRAS approved, British made stainless steel UV purifiers suitable for applications ranging from light domestic use to commercial and process water requirements.
All Requirements Covered
Compact, economy and high flow rate systems are available. We can also supply accessories, sediment filters, sanitiser and perhaps most important, advice.
Wide Range of Flow Rates
Our stainless steel UV systems have stated flow rates ranging from 2 litres per minute up to 51 litres per minute for our top of the range 3 Series UV with its 55 watt lamp and 1″ ports.
