Ultraviolet Water Sterilizers in Durham, NC
UV Light SL-E
In order to be confident your water is free of pathogenic microbes, you need to eliminate them through proper disinfection. Municipal water systems in Durham and throughout North Carolina help protect residents by disinfecting public water with chlorine, but some households prefer an additional layer of protection.
Children, the elderly, and anyone with a compromised immune system are especially vulnerable to waterborne bacteria. Adding an ultraviolet water sterilizer to your Durham home’s water treatment system provides an extra level of assurance that your drinking water is free from harmful microbes.
UV disinfection has been used for more than 90 years in Europe and remains one of the most effective non-chemical sanitation methods available. As your household water flows through a stainless steel chamber, ultraviolet light neutralizes microorganisms by disrupting their DNA. This process targets pathogens such as Salmonella, Hepatitis, and E. coli, and is equally effective against protozoa like Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
North Carolina Water Filtration installs these UV systems to help ensure your Durham home has the safest, cleanest water possible.

*UV Systems for home use are designed to work in conjunction with water conditioning and filtration units. Water must first be pre-treated to eliminate sediment and water hardness for optimum UV performance. Even when properly applied, Ultra Violet disinfection may not eliminate 100% of all waterborne pathogens. Therefore, UV light should only be utilized in addition to, not as replacement of, other drinking water purification routines.
