Do UV water purifiers need pre-filtration for best performance?

At Aquatal, we incorporate UV sterilization in our high-end water purifiers to remove these hazardous microorganisms and make the water safe to consume. Although UV purification is already an excellent method to purify water, learning about the significance of pre-filtration can improve performance and longevity. This blog looks at the importance of pre filtration for UV systems and how our years of experience have helped us develop a range of water treatment systems you can rely on.

How UV purification works without clogging

UV purification simply uses ultraviolet light to disassemble the DNA of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, which offers germ-free sterilization without using chemicals. Unlike a physical filter, which can become clogged with particles and allow the passage of bacteria through the UV light without actually killing it by sanitizing them as they pass through UV systems, however do not have this issue. Aquatal purifiers are conceived and designed around this non-fouling concept that provides constant purified water with minimum interior maintenance. This level of efficiency is integral to the durable and trouble-free performance our customers have come to expect.

Why sediment and turbidity reduce UV effectiveness

Although UV purification doesn’t become blocked, sediment and turbidity in water reduce its disinfection energy. That process then scatters or absorbs UV light, casting those invisible shadows in which microorganisms like bacteria can find cover. This diminishes the overall efficacy, as not all pathogens will be killed during treatment. Aquatal answers this by concentrating on clear water input in our systems. With less turbidity, users are better able to allow the UV light to pass through and provide the complete sterilization we have designed our products for.

Recommended pre-filters for clear water input

Aquatal recommends the use of pre-filters to get sediment and other particles out of the water before it enters UV unit for best UV performance. Pre-filters like sediment filters help provide clear water input, so the UV light is able to take effect completely and disinfect efficiently. Durable and robust Aquatal solutions better interface with these types of pretreatments improve system dependability and increases the life of UV elements. This fits in nicely with our mission of tailored, high-end water purification that can cater to a variety of different needs and adds sustainability to the mix.

Summary: Pre-filtration to get the best results from UV water purifiers Aquatal Systems are designed for easy inbuilt solutions. Pre-filters will be necessary to ensure UV effectiveness and protect the system from flow that is too strong or carries debris Right Users get consistent safe water by having clear water input through pre-filter. Aquatal is committed to focus on new, reliable technologies that are energy efficient and of the highest standard with respect to quality as well sustainability. Our mission is to ensure our equipment executes water perfection for their partners and clients around world.
