before they can enter into soils and water supplies.

 much like the light from our sun.

 why

          UV disinfection is typically used in order to meet specific regulated bacterial

limits before discharging to surface water. There are 2 common practices used

    to meet these discharge regulations; chemical or UV disinfection. Ultraviolet is a

physical process that disinfects water without the disadvantages

accociated with chemical treatment. UV either kills micro-organisms or inactivates

there reproductive capabilites while still remaining cost effective, low maintenance

and consuming little power.
