Ultra-Violet (UV) Systems 

Under Bench Ultra Violet (UV) System
P.O.U. (Point of Use)

This three-stage UV system is easily installed under bench and comes with a stylish tap to compliment your kitchen. It will ensure the destruction of 99% of bacteria and viruses, including E-coli and Giardia, delivering clean, safe, great tasting water.

Disinfection using Ultraviolet (UV) light is fast becoming the ecological choice in disinfection techniques. UV effectively destroys microbial contaminants without adding anything to the water. Unlike chlorine where there is the possibility of potentially harmful by-products created during its disinfection process, UV creates no residual by-products.

• Choose one of our stylish taps to complement your kitchen
• System easily installed underbench (out of sight)
• Operates with one 90º turn
• Water is forced through high quality 0.5 micron filter
• Removes/reduces Giardia and Cryptosporidium, Chlorine, Chemicals, Pesticides, Insecticides, Asbestos, Rust, Sediment, plus Taste, Odour and more.
• Cartridge Replacement/Service (Recommended every 12 months)
• 99% destruction of Bacteria and Viruses including E coli through the ultra-voilet stage
• Costs around 2 cents per litre

Ultra-Violet (UV) System Whole House Treatment
3 stage 
P.O.E. (Point of Entry)

Under the New Zealand Drinking Water Standards 2005 any presence of coliforms is unacceptable for human consumption.

PROBLEM:
Roof water - Rainwater
Faecal matter due to birds, possums, cats, mice etc. on exposed roofs and guttering is likely to contain pathogenic organisms. Dust, dirt and general organic matter such as leaves and moss can collect on the roof and in the guttering. If you are like most of us and only clean out the guttering once a year then you will know about the putrid decaying matter that can build up. This produces a very nutrient rich ‘broth’ that encourages bacterial growth in storage tanks.

Surface water - Springs, streams, rivers, lakes and dams
This water is usually the most heavily contaminated with
micro-organisms. Often the water is also more turbid than collected rainwater due to high suspended solids and silt from surface run-off, particularly after heavy rainfall. Faecal matter from wildlife, birds, and farm animals present in the catchment area, is likely to find its way into the water supply, and this always contains disease causing organisms.

Ground water - Springs, wells, bores
This water can often be contaminated by run-off, stock, underground seepage from septic tanks, oxidation ponds, or other sources. Faecal matter from wildlife, birds, and farm animals present in the catchment area, can also find its way into the water supply, and this always contains disease causing organisms.

SOLUTION:
The Ministry of Health recommends a 2-barrier approach for providing safe drinking water. The simplest solution for automatic, and nonchemical additive treatment regularly being adopted these days is cartridge filtration followed by Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. This is a simple in-line system that is installed into the existing plumbing at the point of entry to ensure that all water is automatically treated and of potable grade.

Coarse Filtration – 20 micron washable pleated type cartridge for
the bulk of the suspended solids removal.

Fine Filtration – 1-micron depth cartridge for removal of very
fine particles and, more importantly, removal of Giardia and
Cryptosporidium cysts.

UV Sterilisation – UV light penetrates micro-organisms and destroys their ability to reproduce, effectively rendering them harmless. It’s a simple but effective process, destroying a minimum of 99.99% of harmful micro-organisms, including E.Coli, Cryptosporidium and Giardia.

Carbon Filtration (optional) – The addition of a Carbon Filter will ensure the removal of any Taste & Odour or Pesticides (that may be present) in your water, alternatively this can also be achieved by installing a Bench Top or Under Bench Water Filter at the point of use in your kitchen

BENEFITS:
- Cost effective
- Safe technology
- No chemicals required
- Easy installation (When using a specialist)
- Treats every tap in the line
- 100% peace of mind

Not only is it safe and highly effective, UV does not change the taste, colour, or odour of water. It simply removes the risk of
illness caused by microbial contamination, making water safe.
