• Ultraviolet light waves generated by the system kill bacteria and other micro organisms as they pass through.
• You may find these systems under sinks and often times hooked up in series with some sort of activated carbon filter and/or a sediments screen.
• Ultraviolet disinfection systems typically do an excellent job of killing parasites and bacteria.
• Class-A ultraviolet disinfection systems protect against viruses and harmful bacteria.
• Class-B ultraviolet disinfection systems protect against forms of bacteria not typically responsible for causing diseases.
