UV Purifiers - Safeguard Your Home from Airborne Pathogens

UV Purifiers disinfect the air by using ultraviolet light to kill or inactivate airborne pathogens and microorganisms.

UV Purifiers FAQ

What is a UV air purifier?

UV air purifiers are designed to use short-wave ultraviolet light (UV-C light) to inactivate airborne pathogens and microorganisms like mold, bacteria and viruses. They have the same ultimate goal of all air purifiers: to reduce indoor air pollutants. The technology is also referred to as UV germicidal irradiation, or UVGI air purifiers.

What does UV light do on an air purifier?

The UV light on an air purifier uses the UV-C spectrum of ultraviolet light to inactivate airborne pathogens and microorganisms like mold, bacteria, and viruses. The purpose of the UV mode on an air purifier is to sterilize indoor air.

What is UV mode on air purifier?

The purpose of the UV mode on an air purifier is to sterilize indoor air. Air cleaners that use ultraviolet light to kill microorganisms are also known as “UVGI air purifiers” and “UV-C air purifiers”. UVGI stands for ultraviolet germicidal irradiation and UV-C is a spectrum of ultraviolet light, which we’ll explain next.

What is UVGI air purifier?

They have the same ultimate goal of all air purifiers: to reduce indoor air pollutants. The technology is also referred to as UV germicidal irradiation, or UVGI air purifiers. This is different from other air purifier technologies that contain UV light technology but do not use it directly against air pollutants.

What is a UV water purifier?

A UV water purifier is a UV lamp that sits in a quartz sleeve. This system is installed at your water line, so water from your plumbing is diverted into the UV lamp, where it’s disinfected and sent back into your pipes. When water flows into a UV disinfection system, the UV lamp emits ultraviolet light.

How effective is a UV purifier?

UV systems are effective at deactivating 99.99% of living organisms in water. They are designed to run constantly to guarantee the water you use is always safe. Because a UV purifier is not a filter, there is no wastewater or debris left behind to clean out. Every drop of water that enters the UV system is purified.

Do I need a UV water purifier?

An ultraviolet water purification system is an effective way to ensure that your water will be free of harmful effects from living organisms. If you source your water from a well, then it's highly recommended that you install either a UV water purifier or a similar contraption.

How does a UV purifier work?

UV purifiers use short-wave ultraviolet light to extinguish pathogens like bacteria, mold, and viruses. As you can likely imagine, a two-in-one air filtration system that employs both HEPA and UV-C filtration is extremely effective at both capturing and destroying contaminants.
