Although we can't see UV light, we are exposed to a small amount every time we step out into the sun. In fact, UV light is responsible for sunburns. The water treatment industry uses special lamps that emit UV light of a particular wavelength in order to disinfect water.

UV light works by attacking the genetic core (DNA) of bacteria and viruses, destroying their ability to function and reproduce. The process is simple but effective: our systems destroy 99.99 percent of harmful microorganisms without adding chemicals or changing your water's taste or odour. .

Advantages of UV

There are some very important reasons why homeowners and large cities are choosing UV technology:

Highly effective: For over 25 years, UV light has been trusted as a safe, cost-effective way to purify water and eliminate harmful microorganisms. It’s a proven, EPA-endorsed technology that has been chosen by thousands of cities, bottled water manufacturers and others around the world.

Chemical free: UV provides water purification without the addition of harmful chemicals like chlorine. It also avoids the potential of generating harmful chemical disinfection by-products. Recent EPA guidelines are forcing cities across the US to reduce or eliminate the use of chlorine for exactly these reasons.

Taste & odor free: UV does not change the taste, odor or color of water

More effective than chlorine: Unlike chlorine, UV is effective against both Cryptosporidium and Giardia.

Compact and easy to maintain: A TrojanUVMax system, capable of treating the water for an entire home, is less than 20" (50cm) in length and fits just about anywhere. And the only maintenance is an annual lamp change!

TrojanUVMax F – Features & Benefits

---

 

Advanced Lamp Technology

• Low pressure high-output lamp technology provides higher UV output for better disinfection in a system approximately half the size of conventional systems - saving space and making installation simpler

Unique Sizing System

• Allows you to select the unit based on flow rate, UV transmittance, and the UV dose required. See our sizing tool for an illustration
• Model F treats up to 56 gpm / 212 Lpm   (16 mJ/cm² at 95% UV transmittance)

User Interface

• Elapsed time meter tells you how long the lamp has been in service. A service reminder lets you know when the lamp needs to be changed
• Audio and visual alarms tell you if there is a problem with the operation of the unit
• The LED readout also provides a diagnostic output that tells the user what the source of the failure is
• An optional UV monitor continuously monitors the amount of UV making it through the water and notifies you if disinfection is not being assured

Lamp/Sleeve Combination

• Lamp and sleeve are removed without the use of any tools
• Lamp and sleeve remove from the reactor chamber as one piece ensuring you are aware of any build up of minerals on the sleeve that may interfere with the proper UV dose being delivered to the water

Auto-ranging Electronic Power Supply

• More energy efficient
• Withstands fluctuations in voltage that can cause low UV output and damage to the lamp
• Automatically adjusts to the input voltage and frequency to allow use of multiple global power grids

Optional Shut-off Valve and Remote Alarm

• Shut-off valve stops water flow when disinfection is not assured
• Remote alarm allows for notification of alarm conditions at a location remote from the system

Snap-on Safety Cap

• Prevents the harness from accidentally being disconnected
• Ensures that the lamp is disconnected before it is removed from the reactor chamber to prevent damage to eyes and skin from the UV light
