(A) INTRODUCTION

Aqua Flo AQUV UV systems make water safe to drink by instantly destroying pathogenic

bacteria (such as coliforms, E. coli, viruses etc.). These systems utilize the proven

disinfection properties of ultraviolet light (UV) emitted at 254 nm wavelength. UV

systems are used by many municipalities in North America and around the world as a

primary disinfectant as it is a natural, non-chemical, environmentally safe technique

that does not form any harmful disinfection by-products.

HOW THE AQUA FLO AQUV UV WATER DISINFECTION SYSTEM WORKS

Your Aqua Flo AQUV UV system consists of a low-pressure UV lamp enclosed in a

transparent quartz dome, housed in a stainless steel disinfection chamber. As untreated

water enters the chamber from one end, pathogenic microorganisms in the water are

exposed to and instantly destroyed by ultraviolet light emitted by a specially engineered

UV lamp. Treated water flows out of the chamber and is ready for consumption.
