The Benefits of Ultraviolet Water Sterilization

• Adds nothing to the water but ultraviolet
• Ultraviolet water sterilizer can be neither overdosed or underdosed
• It provides the world environmentally safe, with no chemical to handle or discharge
• More effective against viruses than chlorine
• Low initial capital cost as well as reduced operating expenses when compared with similar technologies such as ozone, chlorine etc.
• No change in taste, colour, odor, pH or conductivity or the general chemistry of the water
• Immediate treatment of toric chemicals, no need for specialized storage requirements

TUV Low Pressure Mercury Lamps

Philips TUV lamps emit short-wave ultraviolet radiation (UV-C) to kill or deactivate bacteria, viruses and other primitive organisms, even if the organisms have become immune to other disinfection methods. They are used for air, water and surface disinfection in equipment for hospitals, bacteriological research and pharmaceutical institutions, food processing industries such as dairies, breweries and bakeries, and also for disinfecting drinking and waste water, swimming pools, air conditioning systems, cold storage rooms, packing material etc.

TUV disinfection lamps are low-pressure mercury-vapour discharge lamps consisting of a tubular glass envelope, emitting short-wave ultraviolet radiation with a radiation peak of 253.5nm(UV-C) for germicidal action. The glass filters out the 185nm ozone-forming line. A protective coating on the inside limits the depreciation of the useful UV-C radiation output.
PL-S have a specially adapted starter providing almost instant starting characteristics already built into the lamp base.
