(A) INTRODUCTION

Your AQUV-12R2 and AQUV-20R2 units feature a two-stage design. The first stage is a

five (5) micron sediment filter that reduces dirt, rust, sand and other fine particulate

matter. Stage two is a UV system that instantly destroys pathogenic bacteria (such as

coliform, E. coli, viruses, etc) in the water using germicidal ultraviolet light emitted by

a specially engineered UV lamp at 254 nm wavelength. Treated water flows out of the

chamber and is ready for use (See Fig 1).

UV systems are used around the world as a primary disinfectant as it is a natural, non-

chemical, environmentally safe technique that is not known to form any harmful

disinfection by-products.
