UV disinfection
Immediate microbiological control, with no chemicals and no change in taste. Ultraviolet lamps that inactivate bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms without altering the water.

What it is and how it works
Water passes through a chamber where a lamp emits 254 nm ultraviolet light. That radiation damages the genetic material of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms and prevents them from reproducing. Disinfection happens in seconds, without adding chemicals and without altering the water’s taste, odor or composition.
