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. What does the E4 Plus model have that this one does not?
When you purchase a Plus model UV system, you are getting the same great UV disinfection the normal model has, but with added peace of mind and security. All Plus models include the lamp-age display and alarm system w/reset button. They also include a UV intensity montior, which is used to keep a close eye on the amount of UV you are getting into your water.
This montior is required in some states when installing a UV (contact your water company or building inspector) and will ensure that you are getting proper disinfection. If the UV intensity begins to drop, then you know its time to clean the sleeve or replace the lamp.
Q. Is there a lot of maintenance required with a UV system?
A. All you have to do is priodically 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 seperatly. 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 recommend to pretreat the water before installing a Trojan UV Max System?
A. A 5-micron sediment pre-filter is recommend 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 commerical 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.
