How UV Disinfection Works
Pre-Filtration:
Water passes through a pre-filter to remove large particles and sediment, ensuring optimal UV light penetration.
UV Chamber:
The water enters the UV chamber, where it is exposed to UV-C light at a wavelength of 254 nm. This light disrupts the DNA of microorganisms, rendering them inactive and unable to reproduce.
Post-Filtration:
After UV treatment, the water may pass through additional filters to remove any remaining impurities and improve taste.
