All health conscious individuals are aware of the concept of the ultra violet water purifications mechanism. It has been scientifically proven that 65% of the diseases being suffered by adults and 85% by children are water borne. When we combine both, an average of 80% diseases is water borne. So, you can well imagine the influence of micro organisms, especially viruses, bacteria, protozoa, etc. in causing and triggering the various diseases like diarrhea, tricomoniasis, cholera, glaucoma, gastrointestinal pain, hepatitis B, tuberculosis, meningitis, typhoid fever, salmonella, poliovirus, and more.
It is because of drinking unpurified water or through inappropriate water treatment that can lead to such heath problems. Again it is a proven fact that all these micro organisms get deactivated with ultra violet rays effectively; hence the use of the UV water purifier. UV water purifications systems are used in millions of homes not only in India but across the world.
A UV water purifier comes equipped with a UV light source, preferably a tube, which is enfolded in a transparent protective sleeve. The tube is kept mounted so that as water flows through the chamber, UV rays get automatically admitted and absorbed into the water stream. Micro organisms keep on multiplying in tens and thousands every minute. Once the micro organisms in the water come in contact with the UV rays, they get deactivated and cannot reproduce any further.
We are always exposed to the sunrays which are also ultra violet rays. In a UV water purifications system, the UV rays work in such a manner that the user is not exposed to it in any way. These energy-rich electromagnetic rays are in the range of the invisible short wave light having a wavelength ranging from 100 to 400 nm. To be effective to deactivate micro organisms in water uv rays of wave length. 354 nm are used.
You do need to do a proper research when you buy water purifications systems such as a UV water purifier. Go for reputed and most preferred brands, especially those that sell the most. Do not bank on the cost effectiveness only; consider a number of other factors as well such as quality of the water purifier as a whole, durability, maintenance aspects, quality of the components used, multi-stage purification mechanisms, and the like.
