Ultraviolet Disinfection Systems
Greenway Water Technologies’ Ultraviolet (UV) water treatment disinfection systems are Engineered for Health and Designed for Life.
How Does Ultraviolet Disinfection (UV) Work?
UV water disinfection is a natural, environmentally friendly process which does not add any chemicals into your water and does not change the water chemistry. Ultraviolet light energy inactivates harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, effectively preventing them from causing illness. The pathogens are destroyed in the time water passes through the disinfection chamber.
It is necessary for the UV light to have contact with the microorganisms. Water quality will adversely affect the efficacy of any UV disinfection system. Therefore, your source water needs to fall into certain water quality parameters in order for effective UV disinfection to occur.
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis (RO), also known as hyperfiltration, is the finest filtration known. This process will allow the removal of particles as small as ions from a solution.
Reverse osmosis uses a membrane that is semi- permeable, allowing water that is being purified to pass through it, while rejecting the contaminants that remain.
The RO membrane uses crossflow technology which continually passes water across the membrane thus flushing away the rejected contaminants. When the reservoir tank is full, water flow stops completely.
The reject ratio is normally about 75 to 85%, meaning for every litre of pure water collected, 4 to 5 litres of reject water is flushed away. While
this may at first seem excessive; to produce 5 litres of pure water takes the same amount of water as used in a two minute shower.
Because of the ultra fine membrane used in RO, reject rates for nearly all
contaminants are very high; typically around 96- 99+%, depending upon
the contaminant and available water pressure.
Combined with the sediment and activated carbon filters, a quality RO system will remove bacteria, protozoa and viruses and significantly reduce organics, salts, metals, nitrates, pesticides and many more contaminants.
Easy to operate, with instant access to pure water, RO’s require very little maintenance and have an operating cost for the average family of around 4c per litre.
While GE has decided to redesign the Merlin RO system, About Water continues to support replacement membranes, filters and accessories.
