RCUV Ultraviolet Water Disinfection System

Description

Protection from Waterborne Cysts, Bacteria and Viruses

The RainSoft RCUV Ultraviolet Water Disinfection system Series, incorporates the time-tested technology of ultraviolet light to reduce some of the most common microorganisms found in water.

How Does the RCUV Work?

Installation
The RCUV ultraviolet unit will install on your home’s main water line.

UV Disinfection
Water will pass through the UV chamber, where the bacteria and viruses will be killed or rendered harmless (by direct exposure to the UV light)

Cost Effective
Only needing seconds of exposure to the light, it requires less energy than a typical household light bulb.

Low Maintenance
Annually changing the UV lamp, a service that your RainSoft dealer will perform for you, is the only servicing required.

Ease of Operation
Visual and audible alarms let you know in advance when the UV lamp is in need of replacement.

Understanding UV Water Disinfection

RainSoft UV water disinfection systems position the ultraviolet lamp at the center of a protective quartz sleeve. The unit houses this assembly inside a stainless steel disinfection chamber. This design distributes UV light evenly throughout the entire unit. As water flows through, the system exposes microorganisms to a lethal dose of UV energy. The process destroys bacteria and inactivates viruses instantly.

Another key point, Ultraviolet disinfection doesn’t remove beneficial minerals from the water like normal distillation, it disinfects the water using high intensity light energy. Unlike chemicals, it will not leave unwanted residuals, or by-products in the water. Since there are no chemicals, UV does not affect the taste odor or clarity of the water. For this reason, many systems pair UV with carbon filters, water conditioners, and reverse osmosis. This combination delivers a more complete water treatment solution.

You must also pre-filter incoming water to at least 5 microns before UV treatment.

Do not use the RainSoft RCUV Series with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown origin. For such applications, the RainSoft RCUV-NSF Series is required. These systems are not intended to convert wastewater or raw sewage to drinking water. The system is intended to be installed on visually clear water. Your local RainSoft dealer will assist you in making these determinations.
