U V Sterilization (Ultra Violet) uses no harmful chemicals to handle or store.  This 50-year-old technology is universally accepted in every field that requires clean air, clean water and germ-free environments.  Whether you need residential or commercial applications for germ-free environments, Ultra Violet units require low initial capital cost as well as low operating costs when compared to other technologies.

Both water (or other liquid) sterilization and room air (or air ducts) purification utilizes an immediate treatment process that requires no holding tanks or long retention times to kill germs.  There are no measurements of caustic chemicals to keep the liquid or air germ-free, which keep your operating costs to a minimum.  To decide which type of U V water treatment filter that best meets your needs and budget, first decide if it will be used for drinking and food preparation, laundry, refrigerator dispenser or the whole-house. As an added contaminant-reducing process, look for one with a reverse osmosis feature that has a one-way membrane to allow water molecules to pass through but not debris from your pipes.  Air purification can be approached from two directions, one being room air sanitizers and the second being air duct disinfection.  Air duct units destroy airborne microbes, including bacteria and viruses, in new or existing duct systems.  These units can be added to existing duct systems or engineered into new building designs.

There are many, many patents devoted to U V sterilization-yet it is a relatively simple concept.  U V germicidal lamps are short wave low-pressure mercury tubes that produce ultraviolet wavelengths that are lethal to microorganisms in the air, on surfaces and in water.  These wavelengths are measured in nanometers (one billionth of a meter in length) and are highly lethal to viruses, bacteria, protozoa and mold.

Ultra Violet technology is being used more because the microorganisms in our daily environment seep into every aspect of our lives.  As we realize the potential hazards of disease, the purity of air and water necessary for complicated processes, the ease of disease spread throughout an office, home or institution and the mobility of our population, it has become necessary to build-in germ-fighting processes.

U V sterilization units come in all sizes, depending on your needs.  Residential water purification and room air purification are value-added products that can bring you peace of mind, especially if you have an immune-compromised or asthmatic family member.  Commercial uses include laboratories, hospitals, clinics, pathology labs, nursing homes, schools, hotels, ships, restaurants, parks, fountains, ponds and swimming pools, farms and ranches that are on well water, aquariums, pharmaceutical and electronic production facilities that require very specific germ-free environments, food industry, bottling facilities, cooling towers and cisterns and ice makers, to name just a few.

U V sterilization has made a remarkable difference in the fight against diseases in a closed environment.  It is an efficient and trouble-free process for microorganism reduction in the marketplace today.
