UV purification is designed to disinfect water by neutralizing microorganisms that can’t always be controlled by chlorine alone. When water conditions call for it, we pair VIQUA UV technology with the appropriate filtration so your home receives targeted protection, without overbuilding or unnecessary equipment.

VIQUA UV systems use ultraviolet light to disinfect water as it flows through a stainless-steel chamber. UV targets microorganisms at the DNA and RNA level, preventing them from reproducing.

VIQUA UV technology is commonly used to address microbial concerns such as:

Bacteria
Viruses
Protozoa (including chlorine-resistant organisms)
UV purification is a disinfection step. It does not filter or remove physical or chemical contaminants.
What UV Purification Does Not Do
UV is powerful, but it is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
UV purification does not remove:
PFAS, VOCs, or most chemical contaminants
Heavy metals such as lead or arsenic
Sediment, rust, or visible particles
Chlorine taste or odor byproducts
Hardness or mineral scale

Because of this, UV is often paired with filtration when testing indicates it is necessary.
