Crystal Clear UV-C Flow

Why do you need a UV water disinfection unit?

Properly applied UV-C water treatment systems inactivate microorganisms that may pass through traditional filtration systems used to treat municipal or well water sources, specifically parasites like Cryptosporidium and Giardia, which can cause very unpleasant digestive system issues.  By installing properly sized UV-C systems as the final filtration step before water goes to use, you can keep these parasites out of your water supply. This can be especially useful in dealing with unknown water supplies like one may encounter at a campground or recreational area in refilling the potable water supply in a camper or RV.

What makes the FLOW series special?

• LED-based = no mercury lamps
• Flow sensor so it's only on when there's water flow = saves energy and prolongs system life
• Much smaller than comparable flow systems = easier to find a convenient install location
• Inlet/outlet are interchangeable = even easier to install
• Quick-connect push-in fitting make plumbing easy = super easy to install

What are the differences between a traditional UV-C water unit and a UV-C LED water unit?

• Traditional systems use mercury-vapor lamps, which are made from a quartz glass envelope and contain mercury to create the germicidal energy to inactivate viruses, bacteria, and other unwanted microbes.  In larger scope applications, this is still the most effective technology, but also creates a disposal issue with used bulbs which still contain mercury.  LEDs contain no mercury, nor glass, thus have none of these drawbacks.
• Traditional UV-C bulbs lose effective lifetime by frequent on/off cycles, meaning they should be left on all the time to achieve maximum useful lifetime.  LEDs can be turned off and on as dictated by water flow to only function when needed.  This extends useful UV-C LED lifetime and reduces power consumption. 

In many applications, LED technology can be significantly more expensive than traditional UV-C systems. In the case of lower flow rates, such as POU (Point of Use) systems around 2 gallons per minute, this is no longer the case. UV-C LED water treatment, like the Crystal Clear UV-FLOW from American Ultraviolet, can be had at a similar price point to traditional UV-C systems.
