Does a UV system consume a lot energy?
No, the UV unit will consume about the same amount of energy as a 60 watt light bulb. It is a cost-effective, natural way to increase water quality. How often would I have to change the UV lamp? It is essential that you change your UV lamp annually. The ability of the lamp to emit UV light decreases over one year in operation. Our units are sized to achieve the minimum requirements for disinfecting at the end-of-lamp-life (one year). Remember, UV light is invisible! Even through the lamp is still glowing after one year, there will not be enough UV light reaching your water to be effective. Ozone Ozone is Created Naturally Ozone is a naturally occurring gas created by the force of corona discharge during lightning storms or by UV light from the Sun. Definition of Ozone: Ozone (O3) is an allotrope of oxygen (O2). It is 1.5 times as dense as oxygen and 12.5 times more soluble in water and leaves no residuals or byproducts except oxygen and a minimal amount of carbon dioxide and water. It
