Killing bacteria in your water

April 06 2023

It’s not just a case of running your water through a sunbed (that would be silly).

What you need is three stage filtration.

This is how it works:

Stage 1: Coarse filtration – this is where larger particles of dirt, decaying leaves, rust and scale are captured. Poly Pleated Sediment filter cartridges are used here as these can hold a lot of dirt without affecting your water pressure, plus they can be cleaned and reused.

Stage 2: Fine filtration – this puts a stop to the smaller particles and further removes rust along with sand, silt, algae and cryptosporidium cysts (>99% effective for a 1 micron cartridge). We use Polyspun Sediment filter cartridges which have no chemical residue or loose fibres.

Stage 3: UV filtration – this is where the magic happens. Water passes through a cartridge containing a UV lamp which absolutely annihilates the organisms living in your water. Goodbye viruses like SARS CoV and hepatitis, bacteria like E. coli and salmonella, algae and fungi, and cysts like giardia or cryptosporidium.
