When bacteria is a concern in a private well, UV water treatment provides a chemical-free method of treating water as it enters your home.
UV systems use ultraviolet light to address microorganisms in the water without adding treatment chemicals.
Pristine Water can evaluate your water conditions and determine the appropriate UV system and any necessary pre-treatment to help the system perform properly.
This is also one of the solutions we can provide when certified lab testing identifies a microbiological water-quality problem.
1. What is UV water treatment?
Ultraviolet (UV) water treatment uses ultraviolet light to treat water for bacteria and other microorganisms. It provides a chemical-free method of treating private well water without adding disinfecting chemicals to the water.
2. Does UV water treatment remove bacteria from well water?
UV systems are designed to inactivate microorganisms such as bacteria when the water is exposed to the appropriate UV dose. Proper system sizing, maintenance, and water conditions are important for effective treatment. Pristine Water can evaluate your well water and determine whether UV treatment is appropriate.
3. Is UV water treatment safe for drinking water?
Yes. UV water treatment is a chemical-free water treatment method that does not add chemicals to the water. It is commonly used as part of a drinking water treatment system when bacteria or other microbiological concerns are identified.
4. Do I need a water filter before a UV system?
Often, yes. UV treatment works best when the water is sufficiently clear and free of particles that could interfere with UV light exposure. Depending on your water conditions, pre-treatment such as sediment or other filtration may be necessary. Pristine Water can determine the appropriate setup through water testing.
5. Can UV water treatment be used for private well water?
Yes. UV treatment is particularly useful for private well owners who have concerns about bacteria or other microorganisms. If certified laboratory testing identifies a microbiological water-quality problem, Pristine Water can help determine whether UV treatment and additional filtration are appropriate.
6. Does Pristine Water install and maintain UV water treatment systems?
Yes. Pristine Water provides UV water treatment installation, service, and maintenance for residential water systems. We can evaluate your water quality, recommend the appropriate UV system and pre-treatment, and help keep the system operating properly.
