UV-C LIGHT THAT DISINFECTS

About UV light
The sun emits an invisible light known as ultraviolet rays. This natural phenomenon is reproduced within BIO-UV
Group’s light chambers, using powerful lights incorporating the latest technology that emit UV-C rays.
254 nanometers is the optimum wavelength for inactivating micro-organisms (viruses, bacteria, algae, yeasts,
mold); UV-C light penetrates to the heart of the micro-organisms’ DNA and disturbs the metabolism of the cells.
All the germs are thus inactivated (including legionella and cryptosporidium) and can no longer reproduce.
Concerning the removal of chloramines special UV-C lamps are designed to produce a larger variety of lightwaves
that are more effective at irradicating tri-chloramines which are known to cause respiratory ailments.
