Water is used everywhere, from agricultural and industrial to residential and healthcare settings and beyond. Whatever the specific application – whether it’s potable water, wastewater, reuse water, or rainwater – safety is paramount. Here is an introduction to water disinfection. There are many ways to make water safe for use, including various processes for filtration […]
Over 18,000 UV Pure systems are operating worldwide – with many providing years or even decades of reliable disinfection performance in potable, wastewater, and reuse applications. Over time, requirements for some sites can change, leading operators to evaluate different disinfection options to cope with higher flow requirements, changing water quality, emerging pathogenic threats or other […]
Most water and wastewater system operators can’t believe that UV Pure Hallett systems can operate for months, or even years, without manual cleaning – a time-consuming process typically required for conventional ‘light-in-a-pipe’ UV systems. This was one of the key takeaways from UV Pure’s product session at WEFTEC this year, which was attended by over […]

Are you considering LEED certification for a new building? If so, a rainwater harvesting system with UV Pure disinfection can help you earn points across several categories for your green building project. Disinfection before distribution is an important part of a rainwater harvesting system as it inactivates harmful microbial pathogens that can contaminate rainwater as […]
Effective treatment and reliable performance are two of the top factors operators consider when evaluating the effectiveness of UV lamps, since they often provide the final step, and sometimes the only step, in water disinfection. That’s why UV Pure’s new high-capacity Hallett systems are equipped with high-output, long-life amalgam lamps that ensure they can consistently […]
A UV lamp is a UV lamp… right? Perhaps it’s not as simple as that, especially when it comes to protecting public health from harmful waterborne pathogens. UV lamps often provide the final step (and sometimes the only step) in water disinfection, so it’s critical that they are tested and certified to operate properly within […]
What is UVT: UVT – Ultraviolet transmittance – is one of the most important performance parameters to consider when selecting a UV system for your application. UVT is a measurement of the UV energy, at precisely 254 nanometres wavelength, that passes through the water column. UVT is usually expressed as a percentage, with a higher […]
