Trojan has led the development of water treatment solutions using environmentally friendly ultraviolet (UV) light. Trojan has the largest installed base of UV systems in operation on the planet, and many of their innovations define the industry standards for safeguarding your water from the damaging effects of microbial and chemical contamination. Install a Trojan UV Max disinfection system and you no longer have to be concerned about waterborne pathogenic organisms causing illness. Trojan UV systems kill bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens by preventing them from reproducing.

New Trojan Features
Safety Cap and Special Lamp Plug - Trojan's new safety cap prevents children from accessing the lamp or electrical components. The Special lamp plug ensures that no one can power the UV lamp if it is not in the UV chamber.
New Operation Indicator - Indicator lights show the status of each system component. Warning lights appear when system maintenance is required.
Meets New UL Standard 979 - This standard says that UV manufacturers must design their product so users cannot power the lamp if it is not in the chamber. Trojan UV products meet this new standard with its Special Lamp Plug.
New Power Supply - Trojan's new power supply offers easy to read indicator lights and a Reference Card. This card outlines the most important system functions and maintenance for your quick on-the-spot questions.

How does UV disinfection work?
UV light penetrates and permanently alters the DNA of the microorganisms in a process called thymine dimerization. The microorganisms are inactivated and rendered unable to reproduce or infect. Analogy: a broken zipper.
FAQs
Q. Is there a lot of maintenance required with a UV system?
A. All you have to do is periodically clean the lamp sleeve and replace your lamp once a year - simple processes you can complete in minutes. For ease of handling the lamp and protective quartz sleeve are designed as one component, but can be replaced separately. No tools are required for maintenance
Q. What type of warranty does the Trojan UV Max Systems come with?
A. The Trojan UV Max comes with a full five year warranty against manufacturer's defects on the power supply and all electrical components; a ten year guarantee on the water chamber; and a one year warranty on lamps and UV intensity monitors.
Q. Why is it recommended to pretreat the water before installing a Trojan UV Max System?
A. A 5-micron sediment pre-filter is recommended to remove dirt and debris. The reason for this pretreatment is the quality of the water can not only affect the dosage of UV disinfection the system provides, it may also cause premature "sleeve fouling" which will require the sleeve to be cleaned more often, and may also damage the UV sleeve.
Q. What makes the Trojan UV Max light more effective than other on the market?
A. The UV light is generated from a low-pressure, high-output lamp new to the residential and commercial UV market. These lamps provide a higher intensity of UV light making it possible to treat a given volume of water with smaller, more efficient units.
