ULTRAVIOLET STERILIZATION

There are more than half a million people in the UK whose only source of drinking water is from a private water supply. These sources fall into one of three main categories - Wells, Springs/Streams and Boreholes.

MFE water sterilisers employ a low pressure mercury vapour discharge lamp surrounded by a water jacket whose inner wall is made from a special UVC-transparent quartz metal. The lamp produces a very strong spectral line at 254mn in the shortwave UVC region, which is the waveband most lethal to micro-organisms.

Pre filtration is always recommended and a range of sediment pre filters are available to suit various flow rates.
