One of the primary jobs of the sales and marketing team at RK2 and Pure Aquatics in relation to UV water treatment systems is customer education. ‘Why is that?’ you may ask. Unfortunately, while the concept of UV treatment appears simple, the actual application of the technology is anything but. In fact, capable OEM suppliers take great care to ensure the customer is able to meet their actual treatment needs in all practical operational scenarios today and as the system ages.Â
In many cases, a potential customer may notice one quote for a UV product may come in at a significantly higher cost than that of another. Good news, right? The lowest bid wins! Well, perhaps the company that provided the lowest bid wins, but the real loser may be the customer. Our experts can explain the difference between popular UV sterilisers on the market and help you find the right size to suit your needs.
In the UV treatment industry, as in many others, it is the hidden or unknown factors that can greatly impact whether your system actually delivers the intended UV dose, or ‘treatment’, or not. In fact, UV water treatment is such a complex technology that the USEPA and other regulatory bodies worldwide have standardised sizing and application regulations for municipal drinking water and wastewater.Â
While aquaculture does not abide by regulations per se (there are regulated aquaculture applications in some countries), capable OEM suppliers use these regulations as guidelines to ensure the customer has the treatment they require when they purchase their UV system to ensure adequate protection of their investments at all times.Â
