How does the UV system sanitize the Aquarium water?
A. As Aquarium water is circulated through the wet reactor chamber of the Series 4 UV system, the UV-C germicidal lamp contained in the reactor exposes the Aquarium water containing bacteria, viruses, algae spores, pathogens and microorganisms, to the high intensity light waves emitted by the UV-C lamp This causes the DNA of these pathogens to be disrupted and unable to multiply. Without the ability to multiply, these pathogens die and are rendered harmless. It is easy to understand that bacteria laden water enters the reactor, and drinking quality water leaves the reactor back to the Aquarium. Consult the Technical link for a more technical explanation of this process. (Note: While drinking quality water exits the Series 4 UV system, it is not intended for use in sanitizing drinking water and should not be used as such.
