UV DISIN­FEC­TION

Harnessing the power of the sun to produce clean water without using chem­i­cals.

Water is our most impor­tant food and natu­rally contains bacteria. Most of these are harm­less, but there are also microor­gan­isms that can multiply quickly under certain condi­tions, becoming a problem for human health. For example, self-​sufficient customers who have their own well or spring can find their supply is increas­ingly cont­a­m­i­nated with germs. UV disin­fec­tion systems from BWT are an envi­ron­men­tally friendly solu­tion that reli­ably reduce germs and viruses in water.

BWT – Your Partner for Specialist Appli­ca­tions

It is strongly recom­mended that water sources other than that from the public drinking water supply, such as well or spring water is tested by an autho­rised labo­ra­tory. The water should then be treated appro­pri­ately before being used for drinking or bathing.

BWT offer a range of solu­tions for those home­owners who rely on these alter­na­tive sources of water as well as providing specialist prod­ucts for water supplies that may contain high levels of impu­ri­ties, nitrate, iron or heavy metals. What­ever the source or appli­ca­tion for your water talk to us to iden­tify the right water treat­ment solu­tion.

How does UV disin­fec­tion work?

UV Anlage desinfiziert Wasser
UV Anlage desinfiziert Wasser
The anti-​bacterial effect of arti­fi­cially gener­ated UV radi­a­tion was discov­ered at the begin­ning of the 20th century. In 1902, for example, Austrian physi­cian Gustav Kaiser reported successes with healing a wound that would not previ­ously mend and healing a patient with tuber­cu­losis. In the mean­time, the disin­fec­tion of water using UV light has become a very common and reli­able, method treating drinking water.

BWT's UV systems operate at a wave­length of 254 nanome­tres (nm). UV light with this wave­length has a partic­u­larly strong effect in destroying microor­gan­isms. The DNA of the microor­gan­isms is changed and they are no longer able to multiply. The centre­piece of BWT systems is one or more low-​pressure lamps that produce UV light in the required inten­sity. The emit­ters are installed in a stain­less steel chamber through which the water to be disin­fected is passed. Thanks to UV radi­a­tion, existing germs and bacteria are reduced safely and, above all, without the addi­tion of chem­ical substances.

Frequently asked ques­tions about UV disin­fec­tion

Are water suppliers obliged to provide clean water?

Your water supplier is the guar­antor that you get drinking water deliv­ered to your home. The strict prin­ci­ples for this quality are laid down in the Drinking Water regu­la­tions. However, in your domestic water network this quality can be lost through heating, different mate­rials etc. - prob­lems such as limescale and corro­sion can develop. The respon­si­bility for the drinking water changes when it enters your home from the supplier to the house owner. Thus the "oper­ator of a drinking water system" is respon­sible and influ­ence the quality of the water at the tap.
