How Does UV Sterilization Work?
When UV light interacts with water, it effectively destroys the cell’s genetic material & prevents reproduction. This process is rapid & only takes about 8 minutes for complete sterilization.
This method is often used in food preparation, pharmaceuticals, medical instruments, cosmetics, electronics & other products that require sterilization at low temperatures or where steam cannot be utilized. In water, it is installed at individual pipes or most commonly at the home’s water supply entry point as whole-house sterilization.
