SYSTEM COMPONENTS: POST-TREATMENT; Ultra-Violet
Irradiation (Post-RO)
DESCRIPTION:
The ultraviolet irradiation water disinfection unit consists of a UV lamp housed inside a fused
quartz sleeve which seals the lamp from direct water contact. The sleeve, in turn, is housed in a
stainless steel treatment chamber. The UV rays pass through the quartz sleeve and into the
surrounding water. These UV rays alter the DNA of many common waterborne bacteria and
sterilize (
prevent reproduction
) them. The low-pressure germicidal UV lamp produces a slightly
shorter UV ray in concentrated form. 90% of the energy produced by this lamp has a wavelength
of 254 nanometers, which will reduce many water-borne microorganisms.
MONITORING REQUIREMENTS:
Daily:
This component must be monitored on a daily basis to insure the UV light is operating and
the bulb is on.
MAINTENANCE:
- The UV bulb should be replaced every 12 months.
- Clean the quartz sleeve every 6 months.
- Change the quartz sleeve as needed.
Two models of UV lights have been used on the Medipac systems, which are detailed below.
