1. What all Does a UV Filter Remove?

The UV disinfection system works on deactivating living microorganisms. It does not remove any particles from the water or add any chemicals to the water that can change its taste and odor. It treats water for: *Algae *Cholera *Fungi *Salmonella *Giardia *Cryptosporidium *Dysentery bacilli *Mycobacterium tuberculosis *Streptococcus *coli *Some viruses

2. What amount of UV dose is required to kill viruses and bacteria?

It requires a particular dosage of UV energy from the UV lamp to inactivate certain contaminants. This energy is measured in millijoule per square centimeter or mJ/cm². For contaminants like Giardia, E. coli, and cryptosporidium, it requires a UV dosage of 10 mJ/cm² to get inactivated. Most of the UV water purifiers are certified by NSF “A” and are rated at 40 mJ/cm². These are best for use at commercial places or applications. 30 mJ/cm² is considered as the most accepted standard.

3. Which purifier is better – RO or UV Water Purifier?

Most of the users are okay buying a standalone UV filtration system for their home. If you want to get rid of only bacteria and other microorganisms and if you are not worried about the heavy metals or chemical contamination in your drinking water supply, you can buy a standalone UV filter without any additional filtration. But, if the water supply at your home consists of a wider range of pollutants or contaminants like lead, heavy metals, chlorine, and TDSs, you must buy a combined system like a reverse osmosis filtration system along with a UV filter so that it removes the maximum amount of contaminants from the drinking water, This makes it safe for you to drink the water.

Thus, it is recommended to clean the UF membrane at least once in a week.
