At UV Water Filtration, we specialise in delivering advanced UV water filtration systems designed to ensure safe, clean water without the use of chemicals. Our systems utilise the power of ultraviolet light to effectively eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, providing reliable purification solutions.

We cater to residential, commercial, and industrial applications, offering high-quality products tailored to your needs. Our services are available across the UK, including installation and maintenance to ensure consistent performance and safety.

What is UV water filtration and how does it work?

UV water filtration is a purification technique that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to neutralise harmful microorganisms in water. The process involves exposing contaminated water to UV-C light, which penetrates the cell walls of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, disrupting their DNA and rendering them unable to reproduce or cause harm.

While UV-A and UV-B light (common in sunlight) have limited germicidal properties, UV-C light, with wavelengths between 200 and 280 nanometres, is highly effective at sterilising microorganisms.

What are the main applications of UV water filtration?

We provide UV water filtration solutions designed for various environments and needs, including:

• Residential applications – UV water purifiers for safe drinking water, effectively removing pathogens.
• Commercial applications – Integration into water systems for microbial control in food processing and hospitality.
• Industrial applications – Wastewater treatment and disinfection in chemical manufacturing processes.

What are the benefits of using UV water filtration?

UV water filtration provides health benefits by eliminating harmful microorganisms without introducing chemicals into the water.

Environmentally, UV water filtration systems are a sustainable choice as they do not generate chemical by-products or residues. They are more eco-friendly compared to chemical disinfectants and consume low energy, enhancing their environmental profile.

Once installed, maintenance is minimal, typically requiring annual bulb replacements. This is more cost-effective compared to chemical-based systems, which demand frequent replenishment of disinfectants.

How much does UV water filtration cost?

The cost of UV water filtration systems for residential systems ranges from £200 to £800, with commercial units costing between £1,000 and £5,000, and industrial-grade systems used for wastewater treatment exceeding £10,000.

Installation charges for residential setups are usually between £100 and £300, while commercial and industrial installations are higher due to complexity. Maintenance mainly involves replacing UV bulbs annually, costing £50 to £150 per bulb, along with routine inspections costing around £100 to £200 per year.

Factors affecting the cost include flow rate requirements, UV intensity, and additional features like automated controls.

How effective is UV water filtration compared to other methods?

UV water filtration is highly effective for microbial disinfection, particularly when compared to conventional methods. While carbon filters are efficient at removing chemicals and particulates, they do not eliminate bacteria or viruses.

Reverse osmosis systems are effective at filtering out dissolved solids and chemicals but lack the ability to neutralise microorganisms. By integrating reverse osmosis with UV water filtration, a comprehensive water treatment solution is achieved, which is especially beneficial in areas prone to microbial contamination.

Is UV water filtration safe for home and commercial use?

UV water filtration systems are built with safety features like automatic shutoff switches, which deactivate the UV light during maintenance. The UV bulbs are enclosed in protective chambers, preventing exposure to harmful UV-C rays.

How do you maintain and replace a UV water filtration system?

Proper maintenance of UV water filtration systems involves regular cleaning of the quartz sleeve surrounding the UV bulb to maintain light clarity.

UV bulbs should be replaced every 9 to 12 months, as their effectiveness decreases over time, even if still illuminated. Regular system inspections are crucial to check for leaks and electrical issues.

Can UV water filtration be integrated with existing filtration systems?

UV water filtration can be seamlessly combined with carbon, reverse osmosis, and other filtration systems. This hybrid approach allows for multi-stage purification, addressing both biological and chemical contaminants to enhance water quality.
