What are UV-C rays
The small part of electro-magnetic spectrum having wave lenghts included between 100 and 400 nm (thousandths of micron) is defined as space of the ultra-violet irradiation. The UV-C are part of the subspace characterized by the wave lenghts included between 100 and 280 nm.
For being effective in the disinfection, an electro-magnetic wave, besides being of certain kind (L=254 nm) it must possess also a minimum value intensity to be able to ensure a minimum dose to water.
A uv sterilizer, if correctly sized, is able to give water a dose sufficient for reducing almost all the commonest micro-organism present in water.
Applications
The uv system can be used
– with well water (always recommend to perform some analyses of the well water to be able to verify the typology and the
quantity of present bacterial position)
– for residential use with reverse osmosis system and microfiltration system
– for industrial use
Benefits
– UV-C acts instantly (without any stocking tank)
– compatibility with the other technologies (filtration, reverse osmosis, softening etc…)
– environmental treatment (without addition of chemicals)
– does not change the water taste
– praticalness
– low capital and operating cost
– easy to operate and maintain

Which are the factors that can be influnce the right operation of the lamp
– The water hardness
– iron
– sediments in the water
For this reason it is necessary…
– water softener to redure the water hardness
– water systems to reduce iron in the water
…and we recommend always the installation of:
– an housing with a reeled polypropylene cartridge before the uv system to protect it
Warning
Do not watch the ultraviolet rays emitting out of the UV lamp without protection, since they will cause serious burns for naked eyes. Unplug the electrical ballast when maintaining the system.
