Rain water collection and storage is typical in many rural households with delivery to usage via a pressure pump. The quality of water in terms of mineral/chemical content is naturally good, however there is always potential for biological contamination.

Faecal matter due to birds, opossum, etc, on exposed roofs and guttering is likely to contain pathogenic organisms. If tested, this water would be reported as containing "faecal coliforms" and this is totally unacceptable for a domestic supply. The most efficient method for treating this is filtration followed by Ultra­ violet disinfection.

A probable combination of treatment equipment for a typical 3 or 4 bedroom country home would be as follows:

Please note that there are both smaller and larger filters and UV systems which may be appropriate, depending on the circumstances.

Often other sources of water such as bore, stream, lake, springs, etc., may be used instead of or to supplement the tank water. In some of these cases the treatment may need to be varied or extended to suit particular problems. If in doubt contact us for further advice.

High output UV lamp Polished stainless steel reactor chambers to laboratory or medical standards Compact design allowing for wide application Simple and easy installation Maximum UV output with the highest‑quality quartz sleeve LED and Alarm double‑check indicators for lamp failure Easy maintenance: unnecessary to disconnect water flow to change UV lamp Ecological way to protect your water without side effects 99.9% destruction of bacteria and viruses at rated flow

Safe, Economical, and Environment‑friendly
The brand‑new point‑of‑use and whole house UV germicidal units, Germicidalight is specifically designed for offering excellent water treatment to all domestic and small commercial applications.

The principle of Germicidalight lies in employing the 254 nm ultraviolet rays (UV‑C) to cause immediate death for organisms or wipe out thier ability to survive or reproduce. The Germicidalight supersedes sterilizing chemicals (such as chlorine and chlorine mixtures) as it does not bring about the side effects of chemicals. Furthermore, the disinfectant efficiency is several times as much as that of chlorine and chlorine mixtures. It is much safer to use and operate (no toxic chemicals to handle).

Many older type UV germicidal units used plastic components that corrode under ultraviolet rays. These of course not only broke down but also potentially cause the release of toxins and odours. Consumers may now feel at ease, since the brand‑new Germicidalight is made out of stainless steel and is convenient for consumers to wash and maintain. It is also easy to replace the UV lamp without needing to turn off the flow. There is a double check safety feature with LED visual alarm with back‑up audible alarm. The highly efficient UV lamps and quartz sleeves enhance the penetration power of ultraviolet rays and help reduce bacteria and viruses up to 99.9%.

Germicidalight manages your drinking water in an ecological way for you and the environment. It is safe, economical and environmental‑friendly!! Last but not least, it deserves your consideration.
