Purification |
Water can be contaminated by disease organisms, salts, metals,
minerals, toxic chemicals and other materials. These can
be dangerous to human health as well as adversely affecting the
color, odor and/or taste. Water may have to be purified to
make it safe for drinking.
 Before choosing a treatment option, testing the water is
recommended. Testing should indicate whether treatment is
needed and, if so, what contaminants need to be removed.
Once a problem is identified, appropriate treatment measures can
be considered. The local health department is most helpful
and may even test water samples for you. Comprehensive
water testing is becoming more accessible and more affordable.
We offer two different syles of water purification systems.
 →
Chlorine
Chlorination is the most popular water disinfection method used
in this country. Chlorine is very effective in killing
microorganisms provided they are exposed to a high enough
concentration for a long enough time. Simple chlorination
uses about one part per million (one gallon per 50,000 gallons
of water). Contact time of at lest 30 minutes is needed.
With a cistern this is not a concern. In a well system,
chlorine is generally added at the pump to ensure adequate
contact time.
→ Ultraviolet Light
 How
does it work? Ultraviolet light cannot be seen because its
wavelengths are shorter than visible light and carry more
energy, sufficient to kill microorganisms. As water passes
through the UV unit (which can be used to treat one faucet or
the entire house), the UV light shines through the water,
eliminates the microorganisms, and the water exits 99.9% safe.
Maintenance is simple: change the bulb and clean the quartz
sleeve once a year. Our ultraviolet units are designed as
simple, cost effective bacteria treatment. Sizes are
available depending on water voume demand in your home.
