UV is Simple BUT Effective
One of the most terrifying water quality issues out there is microbiological contamination; most adults have heard of E. coli, however there are many other pathogens to be concern with such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. Would you be comfortable giving a baby - your child, grandchild, niece or nephew - a bottle filled with untreated tap water? Probably not! This is an extreme contrast but it’s essentially what you are doing every time you are using untreated UV water; even if you filter it. UV Disinfection devices are affordable, simple and very effective at keeping your water safe and free of harmful microorganisms.
There are so many water treatment options available; it can be, and is an overwhelming process of understanding what your options are and filtering out what is hype before you can consider costs, logistics, and future maintenances. It is probably for this reason why some homeowners spend hundreds of dollars a year on bottled water instead of making a true and long-term shift to consuming clearly clean water. The answer is really to incorporate 3 distinctive processes: Electronic hard water descaler, UV water filtration, Multi-Stage drinking water filter.

Municipal water is disinfected at the water treatment plant but what happens if contamination occurs in the distribution before that disinfected water reaches the private home? Municipal infrastructure is aging, and water main breaks and leaks are becoming more common. If water can get out of those pipes, contaminants can get in.
