The light necessary for UV disinfection is generated in special UV lamps. A watertight quartz tube surrounds each lamp. The liquid to be disinfected is passed through the quartz tubing. The gas plasma generated in the lamp emits light with a primary wave length of 253.7nm. This intensive UV light reaches the microorganisms in the water and impacts directly on their DNA. By changing the DNA the cell division of the microorganism is interrupted - it can no longer reproduce itself and thus loses its pathogenic effect. It is possible to destroy more than 99.99% of all pathogens in water without the addition of chemicals and without harmful side effects. UV water treatment systems are inexpensive, highly efficient and absolutely reliably.
