UV Sterilization for killing bacteria and pathogens in water - AquaTek Pro

The Water Quality Association says, “UV, like distillation, disinfects water without adding chemicals, and therefore possesses some of the same benefits as distillation. It does not create new chemical complexes, nor does it change the taste or odor of the water, and does not remove any beneficial minerals in the water. Ultraviolet devices are most effective when the water has already been partially treated, and only the cleanest water passes through the UV flow chamber. UV devices are therefore often combined with other technologies such as carbon filters, water softeners, and reverse osmosis systems to provide complete water quality solutions.”

The concept of UV disinfection is something found in nature. The same UV light used to purify drinking water is contained in the sun’s powerful rays. These rays disinfect the waters all over our globe every day.
