The ATS Ultraviolet Disinfection System (wiper unit) is an effective way to provide bacteria free water for your home or industry 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Today's Ultraviolet Disinfection Systems are setting the standards for water disinfection requirements in the water treatment industry. Your water may look clean and clear, but it could still contain harmful microorganisms; E-coli, cholera, typhoid fever, mold, coliform, yeast, dysentery, and other viruses. ATS Ultraviolet Disinfection destroys such waterborne microorganisms, leaving your homes water clean and bacteria free, without having to use chlorine or dangerous chemicals. Keep in mind that U.V. is most effective when the water has been pre-treated with another filtration system. This is because pre-filters remove large particles, water cysts, odors and tastes. These impurities can interfere with the transmission of U.V. energy. The U.V. lamp is rated for 9,000 hours of continuous use. After this period of time, the U.V. lamp has undergone a photochemical change. While the lamp will not normally be burned out, it may no longer emit the 254 nm shortwave U.V. to effectively kill bacteria. (See your owners manual for U.V. lamp replacement procedures). As water passes through the U.V., minerals, debris and other matter in the water may deposit onto the quartz sleeve. A minimum of once yearly is standard recommendation for quartz sleeve cleaning and U.V. lamp replacement. (See your installation and operation manual for Quartz Sleeve cleaning procedures). When bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms are exposed to Ultraviolet light at a particular wavelength (253.7 nanometers) their reproductive capabilities are destroyed, which means that they are inactivated and no longer pose a threat to human health. 304 SS Tubing 20 Lbs.
