Question 1

How does a commercial UV water purifier work?

Accepted Answer

A commercial UV water purifier utilises ultraviolet light to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, ensuring the water is safe to drink. The UV light destroys the DNA of these pathogens, making them harmless without affecting the water's taste or odour.

Question 2

What types of microorganisms can a UV Water Purifier eliminate?

Accepted Answer

A UV water purifier uses ultraviolet light to eliminate harmful microorganisms, making water safe for consumption. It effectively targets bacteria, viruses, and protozoa by disrupting their DNA, which stops them from multiplying or causing infections. Common pathogens removed include E. coli, Salmonella, and Hepatitis A.

Question 3

Is UV Purification safe for drinking water?

Accepted Answer

Yes, UV purification is a safe and effective method for treating drinking water. It uses ultraviolet light to kill or inactivate harmful microorganisms like bacteria and viruses without adding any chemicals or altering the water’s taste, colour, or odour. This chemical-free water treatment process ensures the water remains pure and safe for consumption.

Question 4

Does UV Purification affect the taste or smell of water?

Accepted Answer

No, UV purification does not affect the taste or smell of water. It has a UV filter that uses ultraviolet light to eliminate harmful microorganisms like bacteria and viruses without adding chemicals or changing the water’s natural properties. This makes it a safe and reliable method to be used in many commercial UV water treatment systems.

Question 5

How much maintenance does a commercial UV water purifier require?

Accepted Answer

A commercial UV water purifier needs minimal but timely maintenance. Replace the UV lamp and pre-filters every 6–12 months based on usage. Clean the storage tank regularly and check for leaks to maintain hygiene. Schedule professional servicing for complete system checks.

Question 6

What factors should I consider when choosing a commercial UV water purifier?

Accepted Answer

When selecting a commercial UV water purifier, consider essential factors to ensure effective and reliable performance. First, assess your water quality. UV purification is ideal for eliminating microorganisms, but if your source water has high levels of TDS or chemical impurities, you may need a Commercial RO +UV water purifier. Choose a capacity that matches your daily usage. Additionally, evaluate the long-term cost, not just the initial cost of a commercial UV water filter. Lastly, always choose certified systems from trusted manufacturers to ensure safety, efficiency, and quality service support over time.

Question 7

Can UV Purifiers remove heavy metals or chemical contaminants from water?

Accepted Answer

No, water purifiers cannot remove heavy metals or chemical contaminants without RO purification. UV purification is designed to disinfect water by neutralising microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. It does not target contaminants such as heavy metals or chemical residues.

Question 8

Can a UV Water Purifier be used with other types of water filtration systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a commercial UV water purifier can be combined with other filtration systems like reverse osmosis (RO) for enhanced purification. While UV targets harmful microorganisms, the RO filter removes heavy metals, chemicals, and sediments. This integrated approach, commonly used in water purifiers for commercial use as well as home, ensures broader contaminant removal and delivers safe, clean, and great-tasting water suitable for high-demand environments.

Question 9

What is the typical flow rate for a Commercial UV Water Purifier?

Accepted Answer

The typical flow rate for a commercial UV water purifier ranges from about 2 to 10 litres per minute.

Question 10

What are the energy consumption levels of commercial UV water purifiers?

Accepted Answer

Commercial UV water purifiers typically consume 35 to 230 watts in total rated power, with UV lamps using 8 to 30 watts for disinfection. The overall energy usage varies depending on the model and capacity. Aquaguard’s commercial water purifiers are designed to balance performance with low energy consumption, making them suitable for commercial use where both reliability and operational cost control are essential.

Question 11

How do I know if my commercial UV water purifier is working properly?

Accepted Answer

To ensure your commercial UV water purifier is functioning properly, regularly check the indicator light on the unit. Pay attention to any changes in water taste, odour, or clarity, as these could signal an issue. Perform routine maintenance, including cleaning and replacing the UV lamp as recommended. Ensure the commercial water filter is working properly. Periodically test the water to confirm the UV system is effectively disinfecting it.

Question 12

Is professional installation required for a UV commercial water purifier?

Accepted Answer

Yes, professional installation is necessary for any RO, UV water purifier for commercial use to ensure it operates correctly and safely. A trained technician will handle the installation, making sure that all connections are properly made and the UV lamp is correctly positioned for effective disinfection. They will also inspect the drinking water treatment system for potential leaks and verify that the unit is functioning optimally.
