Chlorine and UV Treatment
Environmentally friendly water treatment technology
Chlorine or UV treatment is not possible with turbid water
The use of UV irradiation in addition to thermal disinfection and chemical disinfection with chlorine, ozone, or hydrogen peroxide to deactivate pathogens in its water supply, is mostly ineffective.
Conditions for successful chlorine disinfection
An effective chemical disinfection of drinking water with chlorine or other chemicals may be carried out only when the water does not contain other organic substances or turbidity other than the pathogens being killed. Otherwise, the amount of disinfectant required is not known or it may result in carcinogenic byproducts . In addition, pathogens such as parasites and spores are often chlorine resistant.
Conditions for successful UV irradiation
The disinfection of water by UV irradiation only works when the UV actually comes in contact with the bacteria with a dose of radiation dose high enough. If the water is turbid, UV radiation can only be used once the turbidity settles down.
Membrane Ultrafiltration removal of germs and bacteria
You want to be sure, that all germs and bacteria are removed completely? Urspring Ultrafiltration ensures a complete removal of pathogens, bacteria, parasites and viruses.
Residue-free disinfection with ultrafiltration
Legionella and E-coli bacteria
Successful sterilization despite water turbidity
It makes sense to use the state-of-the-art ultrafiltration process when turbidity is an issue because it can still remove more than 99.99% of all pathogens without leaving any residues.
Compared to conventional methods for sterilizing drinking water, such as UV radiation, thermal disinfection, or the use of chemical substances that often inadequate in eliminating the germs, the core ultrafiltration technology of Urspring provides clear advantages.
Environmentally friendly water treatment technology
Extensively tested by EPA and DVGW
Extensive testing conducted by the EPA and the DVGW have shown that Urspring filters out all bacteria resulting in drinking water that after treatment is completely free of micro-bacteria.
Complete removal of bacteria
Through the technology of Urspring Membrane Ultrafiltration the use of chemicals for disinfection and thus health and environmental damage can be avoided. Also pathogens that are resistant to disinfection methods such as UV, chlorine or ozone â for example, spores of parasites and amoebic dysentery, which often include Legionella â can be removed by Suntuity ultrafiltration. In addition, ultrafiltration does leave the killed or inactivated microorganisms in the water, keeping the potential for subsequent contamination low.
