Why Buy UV Water Sterilisers from Ecosoft?
-
UV sterilisers eliminate the risk of microbial contamination and purify water affected by bacteria, viruses, and parasites. They work without chemicals and do not alter the natural taste and odour of water. In the Ecosoft online shop, you can buy an ultraviolet water steriliser for use with under-sink filters or for commercial and industrial applications. We offer reasonable prices and tailored designs with costs adjusted to specific requirements.
What Are UV Water Sterilisers and How Do They Work?UV sterilisers are water treatment systems with the operating principle based on the use of UV light to remove up to 99.99% of harmful microorganisms from water. They are popular thanks to their high efficiency, no secondary pollution, low energy consumption, and easy installation. In terms of treatment results, the technology is a stronger alternative to chlorine sterilisation, as it does not require adding any chemicals to water. When used properly, ultraviolet light does not adversely impact the human body.
Ecosoft UV sterilisers are equipped with high-quality ultraviolet lamps, enveloped by quartz sleeves that ensure efficient UV transmission and protect lamps from direct contact with water as it passes through the unit. The UV-C light penetrates bacteria, viruses, and parasites and destroys their DNA or kills them directly. The stainless steel housing provides durability and longevity for the entire system.
Key Benefits of UV Sterilisation for Drinking WaterUV sterilisation is a physical method of water purification that inactivates solely microorganisms; that is why it is often used as an additional, post-treatment stage in complex filtration systems. Benefits of the technology include:
- fast, consistent, and chemical-free result;
- tasty water of a natural composition with beneficial minerals;
- a broad range of microorganisms that the light can damage, including chlorine-resistant ones (up to 99,99 % of species known to date);
- high long-term efficiency, as microorganisms cannot build resistance to UV light;
- cost-effectiveness mainly because of low capital and operating expenses;
- easy maintenance that requires a UV emitter replacement once a year and regular, simple cleaning.
Power consumption depends on the number and type of lamps installed in the unit. For reference, a single emitter can consume 10 W or 85 W. For more precise information, please refer to the technical specifications of the UV steriliser on our website.
Types and Sizes of UV Sterilisers for Home and Commercial UseTypes of UV sterilisers are mostly based on capacity, which is known as a flow rate and demonstrates how much water is treated per hour (or day). There are Ecosoft ultraviolet water sterilisers designed for:
- Domestic use. There is a single water outlet that can be installed in the main water line before the water is delivered to the house, at the point of entry, or in a drinking water source, at the point of use. The compact Ecosoft HR-60 ultraviolet water steriliser, with a maximum flow rate of 0.22 m³/h, is ideally suited for under-sink filters.
- Commercial and industrial applications. These units are designed with significantly higher flow rates. The Ecosoft EB-45 unit in this category produces 10.1 m³ of water per hour.
Each type can be classified as small, medium, or large depending on the flow rate. Different lamp types can be used, either Т585 for high-capacity systems or Т510 for small units. Our sterilisers reliably operate for up to 9,000 hours to ensure high water quality with minimal maintenance requirements.
How to Choose the Right UV Steriliser for Your NeedsThe selection of a UV steriliser depends on applications. The unit can be used autonomously for domestic purposes or together with other drinking water filters in large stations to purify water in such places as restaurants, hotels, bottling stations, production lines, and municipal systems. Its flow rate, inlet pressure, operating temperature, and power supply requirements should be considered. The composition of the feedwater is also important.
Why Buy UV Water Sterilisers from Ecosoft?Before placing an order for UV sterilisers on the Ecosoft site, it is recommended to review its main parameters and source water requirements to ensure the product is suitable for particular operating conditions and expectations. Whatever product you select from our catalogue, you will get safe water treatment equipment with certificates proving its quality and conformity. We also offer other filters, softeners, and filtration materials. To get a professional consultation from our experts, please reach out to us via any convenient method.
FAQ-
How Does a UV Water Steriliser Work?
The steriliser contains a lamp, a UV light emitter, that treats the water passing through the unit. The UV-C light penetrates pathogenic microorganisms and damages their DNA, killing them, which is enough for reliable disinfection.
-
What Microorganisms Does a UV Steriliser Eliminate?
99,99 % of microorganisms are killed or deactivated by a UV steriliser, including E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, COVID-19, Hepatitis A, parasites, fungi, mould spores, yeast, etc.
-
Does UV Treatment Affect the Taste or Chemical Composition of Water?
Upon UV sterilisation, water retains its natural chemical composition, fresh taste, and odour. The taste can be enhanced thanks to the elimination of bacteria that can give a musty or earthy flavour.
-
How Often Should the UV Lamp Be Replaced?
UV lamps should be replaced once a year. In addition, simple cleaning of the unit components is required.
-
Can a UV Steriliser Be Used with a Reverse Osmosis System?
Yes, a UV steriliser is often used as a post-treatment stage in a reverse osmosis system for final disinfection.
-
Is UV Sterilisation Safe for Drinking Water?
UV sterilisation is completely safe for drinking water thanks to no chemical residue. However, it can provide insufficient treatment if the purpose is to remove chlorine and calcium from tap water or other contaminants in addition to microorganisms.
