Disinfection - Water Treatment

UV disinfection systems providing validated Cryptosporidium and Giardia barriers for drinking water compliance.

What is UV Disinfection for Drinking Water?

UV disinfection provides a physical barrier against chlorine-resistant pathogens including Cryptosporidium and Giardia without chemical addition or disinfection byproduct formation. The process inactivates pathogens by damaging their DNA, preventing reproduction. UV is often paired with chlorine or chloramine to maintain distribution system residual while satisfying LT2ESWTR requirements for surface water treatment.
