UV water treatment uses ultraviolet light to inactivate bacteria, viruses, cysts and other microorganisms with no chemicals and no taste change — the standard for disinfecting well water and protecting against boil-water events.
For reliable disinfection, pretreat with sediment and carbon so the water is clear before it reaches the UV chamber. We stock complete UV systems plus replacement lamps, quartz sleeves and ballasts.
Frequently asked questions
Does UV remove bacteria from well water?
Yes — UV inactivates bacteria, viruses and cysts like giardia and cryptosporidium. Water must be clear first, so add sediment/carbon pretreatment.
How often do I replace a UV lamp?
UV lamps lose effectiveness after about 9,000 hours — roughly once a year — even if still glowing. Replace the lamp annually and the quartz sleeve as needed.
Does UV change the taste of water?
No. UV adds no chemicals and changes nothing about taste, odor or mineral content — it only disinfects.
