ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT DISINFECTION

Ultraviolet (UV) light disinfects water by targeting microorganisms at the DNA level. When water flows through a UV chamber, it’s exposed to a specific wavelength of UV-C light (usually around 254 nm). This light damages the DNA and RNA of
bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, so they can’t reproduce or cause infection.

UV treatment doesn’t add chemicals to the water, which makes it a clean, environmentally friendly option. Brio’s UV systems are often used as the final stage of disinfection, either on their own or with filtration, to help ensure that water is microbiologically safe, especially in areas with well water or questionable municipal sources.

Not at all. Brio UV-C Ultraviolet Lights are energy efficient. They typically use no
more electricity than a standard light bulb, often less than 40 watts.

UV disinfection is one of the most reliable methods for protecting your water from harmful microbes, including bacteria such as E. coli and viruses that traditional filters can’t eliminate. Because it uses only light, there are no chemicals or byproducts, and it doesn’t alter the taste, odor, or pH of your water. It’s also incredibly fast: UV treatment disinfects water as it flows through the system in real
time.

If you have well water or are looking to add an extra layer of safety to your filtration system, UV disinfection provides peace of mind with minimal maintenance requirements.

The UV system should be installed after your primary filtration system and as close to the point of use as possible to ensure the water is treated immediately before consumption.
