UV Extreme Triple Water Filtration System – Proven, Reliable and Modern
The UV Extreme Triple Water Filtration System comprehends three filtration stages. This is because, with one single stage filtration systems, water quality is compromised. One stage filtration systems either get blocked with dirt very quickly or remove just taste and odours for aesthetic effects only.
Therefore, in order to have water suitable for human consumption, at least three stages are required, especially for rainwater treatment. The UV Extreme Triple Water Filtration System combines mechanical filtration, adsorption filtration and sterilisation to deliver sediment, chemical, bacteria, viruses and parasites free drinking water.
When water travels through the system, each stage captures different contaminants that the water might carry.
The first stage is a mechanical filter made of polypropylene that captures particles greater than 5 microns. This means that sand, dirt, rust, algae, silt, and mud are trapped in the first stage. See Sediment Filters.
Once the dirt is trapped, the second filter will reduce the chlorine and other disinfectants that are in the water. This chemical filter is made of coconut shell activated carbon, which through adsorption filtration not only reduces the chlorine and VOCs levels up to 99.99% but also reduces the taste, colour and odours. See Carbon Filters.
Under these circumstances, once dirt, suspended particles and chemicals had been captured, water will travel through the UV Light. This UV Ultraviolet lamp produces a germicidal wavelength that eradicates bacteria, viruses and parasites.
Then, after water has travelled throughout these three stages, water is suitable for human consumption.
However, you may wonder if you can use the UV light by itself. Here is the answer, bacteria and other pathogens hide behind sediments and can’t not be eradicated by the UV Light in an efficiently manner. For this reason, unfiltered water should not travel through the UV Light without a prefiltration system.
Therefore, for UV Lamps, water quality requirements must be met. Otherwise, the original UV Light warranty is void. See UV Light Extreme Specifications.
