For homeowners living in Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut, it is easy to take the purity of our water supply for granted. Whether you get your water from a municipal water supply or a well, taking extra precautions when it comes to your home’s drinking water can help you put the health and safety of your family first. Keep reading to learn how an ultraviolet water purification system from FSi Oil and Propane can help eliminate pathogens from your drinking water and help protect the most vulnerable members of your family from preventable illnesses.
How Do UV Water Filters Work?
Ultraviolet lamp systems are an affordable way to eliminate unseen and harmful bacteria from your water before it makes you sick. The whole-home UV water purification system we have chosen for our customers is the Viqua VH410. The light rays penetrate harmful pathogens in your water, destroying illness-causing microorganisms by attacking their harmful components. It inactivates cryptosporidium, giardia, E. coli, and fecal coliform. Although UV water purifiers are recommended for homes with well water, these are an excellent addition to homes on municipal water supplies which can protect your family in the event of a boil water advisory.
