UV sterilizers are used to purify/disinfect water from bacteriological contaminants that may be present in water sources, e.g. in shallow wells or surface intakes. The principle of disinfection of sterilizers is based on the bactericidal effect of UV lamps with which they are equipped. The bactericidal effect is based on the absorption of UV light by the DNA structures of microorganisms. By using the correct intensity and exposure time of UV rays, you can virtually completely destroy microorganisms by destroying their DNA.
Irradiating water with UV rays is one of the most effective and safest purification methods because the water is not purified by chemical compounds. Another advantage is the lack of influence on water properties, such as taste and smell. Depending on the water demand, sterilizers can be equipped with from 1 to even 8 lamps. The lamps used in IBO sterilizers are manufactured by Philips, and their service life is estimated at 8,000 hours. The smallest sterilizers are designed for a flow of 1 liter/min, the largest - available on request - up to 3,600 l/min. An important aspect of using sterilizers equipped with UV lamps is the continuous operation of the lamps, even if there is no water flow: frequent turning on and off of the UV lamp significantly shortens its life.
Please remember that the effectiveness of the sterilizer depends largely on the quality of the water that flows through it, so we recommend using pipe filters before the sterilizer to remove any mechanical impurities, such as sand. Additionally, it should be borne in mind that the effectiveness of water purification is also influenced by the iron content and water hardness. The iron in the water should not exceed 0.1 mg/l, while the water hardness should be lower than 110 CaCO3 mg/l.
