Ultraviolet disinfection is a chemical – free method of inactivating microorganisms in water.

UV lamps emit light at a specific wavelength, typically around 254 nanometers.

This damage disrupts the genetic material of the microorganisms, preventing them from reproducing and causing disease.

UV disinfection is highly effective in killing a wide range of pathogens and is often used as a final treatment step in water purification systems.

It is a popular choice for residential water purifiers, especially for those who are concerned about the presence of chemical disinfectants in their drinking water.
