UV Light Water Treatment Systems

Stover’s Wells and Pumps offers UV light water purification system sales and installation in Hunterdon, Somerset, and Mercer County New Jersey. Ultra Violet light can disinfect water contaminated with total coliform bacteria, E. Coli, and other potentially harmful pathogens.

The difference between UV light water treatment and other methods of purification is that UV systems do not alter water through the introduction of chemical compounds. UV light systems subject microorganisms in water to ultra violet radiation, inactivating cellular functions that allow them to live and reproduce. A properly functioning UV system can kill up to 99.9% of microorganisms through this process of germicidal irradiation.

There are many important factors to consider when installing a UV light system. Chief among these are the location of the unit and clarity of the water flowing into it.

• Location is critical because the disinfection process will only treat microorganisms upstream of the UV light system. Organisms thriving downstream of the unit will not be subject to germicidal irradiation.
• Water clarity is also important because the ability for ultra violet radiation to reach microorganisms may be obstructed by the presence of particulates in your water. For this reason you may need a pre-filter to remove particulates and enhance light transmittance.

Let the experts at Stover's Well's and Pumps help you affordably address the presence of contaminants and microorganisms in your water.
