UV Systems
Disinfect ALL the water in your home !
Models R519, R830, R830F & R1245
If you draw water from a private well or lake or any other source and worry about the microbiological safety of the water, Rainfresh UV Disinfection systems could be the solution that you have been looking for.
Rainfresh UV systems disinfect water by using the natural, non-chemical disinfection properties of ultraviolet light. UV systems inactivate bacteria (e.g. E.coli), coliform, viruses and other microorganisms using a germicidal wavelength of 254 nm & a UV dose of 40 mJ/cm², making the water safe to drink from virtually any potable source.
The UV system is installed on the main line, after the pressure tank and any other treatment devices (e.g. water softener, iron filter etc), before the water line divides into hot and cold. As water flows through the UV system, the UV light instantly disinfects water, making it safe to drink.
Rainfresh UV systems are ideal for homes, cottages, laboratories, industries, offices etc. They are available in 3 sizes – 5 US GPM, 8 US GPM (shown on left) & 12 US GPM (shown on right).
They feature an audible alarm and visual LED lamp expiry indicator (with 7-day override feature) to show end of
