Featured product: UV systems
------------------------------------------------------

Ultraviolet light is a powerful tool for disinfection, but its adoption 
in the water and wastewater industry has been slowed mainly by the 
difficulty involved in putting electric lights near the water safely and 
in a way that keeps the lights clean. Most lights end up heating the 
water around them, even when enclosed in tubes and other containers, and 
that heat tends to lead to scaling and fouling. But an innovative 
approach by UV Pure takes the bulbs out of the water and instead allows 
the water to move through its own container past the bulbs -- it's a 
subtle difference, but it does an impressive job of improving the 
transmittance of the UV light and of keeping the system clean.
