Kill Bacteria & Coliform in Well Water — UV Disinfection

Discovering a positive coliform or E. coli test in your well water is a clear sign that bacteria are infiltrating your water supply. This contamination poses serious health risks for you and your family, making it unsafe to drink or use untreated. Addressing this issue is critical to ensure your well provides clean, safe water throughout your home.

The system that solves it

Our whole-house UV disinfection system offers a reliable and chemical-free solution to eliminate harmful bacteria from your well water. The centerpiece is a sleek stainless steel UV-C disinfection chamber designed to fit seamlessly into your plumbing setup. This system operates continuously to provide constant-on protection, ensuring every drop of water passing through is treated. The lamp and quartz sleeve inside the chamber are user-serviceable, allowing for a straightforward annual maintenance routine. For optimal performance, the system pairs perfectly with a sediment pre-filter, which prepares your water before it reaches the UV light, enhancing disinfection effectiveness.

Why it works

The heart of this system is a high-output UV-C light that emits ultraviolet rays specifically tuned to disrupt the DNA of bacteria and viruses. When water flows through the stainless steel chamber, the UV-C light penetrates the microorganisms, scrambling their genetic material. This prevents them from reproducing and effectively neutralizes any harmful pathogens present. The pre-filter plays a crucial role by removing sediment and particles that could block or scatter the UV rays, ensuring the light can reach all contaminants. This combination creates a barrier against bacteria without relying on chemicals or altering the water taste.

Sizing it right

Choosing the correct UV system size depends on your household water demand and flow rate. A properly sized unit ensures sufficient exposure time for water to be fully disinfected as it passes through the chamber. Many homes with private wells benefit from our standard whole-house units, but larger households or those with higher flow rates may require a system designed for greater capacity. We offer complimentary sizing assistance to help you select the optimal system tailored to your water usage and well conditions, ensuring maximum effectiveness and reliability.

Common questions

Q? Why do I need a sediment pre-filter with a UV system?
A sediment pre-filter removes particles and cloudiness from your water, which allows the UV light to effectively reach and disinfect bacteria. Without it, suspended solids can block the UV rays, reducing the system’s ability to kill pathogens.

Q? How often do I need to change the UV lamp?
A UV lamp typically requires replacement once a year to maintain consistent disinfection power. This simple maintenance step ensures your system continues to provide reliable protection without interruption.

Q? Does the UV system add any chemicals or affect water taste?
No, the UV disinfection process is chemical-free and does not change the taste, odor, or composition of your water. It neutralizes bacteria using light alone, preserving the natural quality of your well water.
