Ultraviolet Light Filters

Why UV Filters Matter

Over 11% of Irish households draw water from private sources like wells, springs, or lakes—and even public supply networks can occasionally require boil water alerts. Microbial contamination in water is typically seasonal, often linked to rainfall, and can stem from septic leakage, agricultural waste, or decaying organic matter.

Using UV disinfection offers a chemical free, eco conscious method to eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, molds, and spores. Unlike chlorine systems, UV doesn’t affect your water’s taste or smell. It’s a go to solution in food and drink industries across Ireland due to stringent health regulations.

Why UV Filters Matter

What UV Light Removes

By disrupting the DNA of microorganisms, UV effectively neutralizes:

Protozoa: Cryptosporidium, Giardia

Bacteria: E. coli, Salmonella, Dysentery bacilli, Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Viruses: Hepatitis B and others

Fungi & Algae

It also addresses broader groups like coliforms, streptococci, mold, and mildew—all without altering water quality.

THE ADVANTAGES OF UV PURIFICATION

How do I ensure my water is safe?

Begin with a certified water test. Once results are in, we can recommend the right UV system based on your home’s usage rate.

Are larger UV systems better?

Not always. Oversized units may over-sterilize, stripping water of beneficial minerals and altering its taste. We calibrate each system to balance safety and water quality.

Bulb replacement—can I do it myself?

Yes, but professional servicing is recommended. Although the UV bulb is easy to replace annually, the quartz sleeve is fragile and needs proper cleaning. We offer an annual service to handle all this safely and efficiently.
