What are the beneficial uses of germicidal ultraviolet?
Ultraviolet technology is a non-chemical approach to the disinfection of water, air, and surfaces. In this method of disinfection, nothing is added, which makes this process simple, inexpensive, and requires little maintenance. How does this work? Ultraviolet systems use UV light to produce purified water for the entire house. Without adding or taking anything away from water, UV disinfection is cost-effective and environmentally-friendly. It can remove up to 99.99% of harmful waterborne microorganisms.
What microorganisms are deactivated by germicidal ultraviolet light?
The WS1 series valves were designed with the world’s water treatment professional in mind and incorporate many features that are a direct result of feedback from customers. The WS1 valves are manufactured from composite plastics and are designed to provide high flow rates (up to 27 GPM) over a wide range of applications. This provides water treatment professionals a great deal of flexibility in system design and greatly reduces inventory requirements.
Watershield Gold

How do ultraviolet purifiers work?
Watershield UV Water Purification systems use unique lamps that emit UV light of a particular wavelength that has the ability, based on their length, to disrupt the DNA of micro-organisms. These purifier units contain one or more germicidal ultraviolet lamps. Germicidal Lamps are shortwave, low-pressure tubes that produce ultraviolet wavelengths lethal to micro-organisms killing at 254 nanometers (nm). Water or air that passes through the chamber is exposed to the germicidal UV light, and the genetic material of the micro-organism is deactivated, which prevents them from reproduction and rendering them harmless.s, and current flow rate.
What is germicidal ultraviolet?
UV-C light is germicidal – i.e., it deactivates the DNA of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens and thus destroys their ability to multiply and cause disease. This short-wave ultraviolet light disrupts DNA base pairing causing the formation of pyrimidine dimers and leads to the inactivation of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. It can also be used to produce ozone for water disinfection.
How do I size a water purifier?
Proper sizing of water treatment equipment is critical for effective water treatment.
In some cases, such as ultraviolet water disinfection, under-sizing a system or not
planning for peak flows can result in untreated water passing through the system
and contaminating the water already in the pipes and equipment. Our water
purifiers are based on the peak flow rate. To give you a reference point, most
single-family dwellings use 8-12 gallons per minute.
