UV-C light, when applied properly as a problematic waterborne algae solution, is far superior to ozone and harmful
algaecides. Most importantly UV does not leave a residual in the water.
4 Steps to SMART UV Success
Using a UV Sterilizer successfully begins with:
1. Identifying the "Target Microorganism" (example: Waterborne Algae)
2. Identifying the Target Microorganism's Required UV Dose (example: 22,000 µWs/cm²)
3. Receiving Accurate UV Flow Rate Information from the UV Manufacturer
4. Selecting the correct UV model that delivers the Required UV Dose at your application's flow rate
The "Required Microorganism UV Dose" bar graph below reveals specific microorganisms and their established UV doses required
to achieve successful UV treatment.
The speed at which the waterborne microorganism travels through the UV housing (across the UV lamp field)
establishes the UV dose (µWs/cm²) received.
