UV Is Microbiological Treatment
UV can inactivate microorganisms without adding a disinfectant, but it does not remove hardness, iron, PFAS, arsenic or other dissolved substances by itself.
Pretreatment Protects Performance
Turbidity, hardness and iron can interfere with UV performance, so pretreatment and lamp/sleeve maintenance are important.
How Colonial Approaches It
Colonial Water Solutions begins with the home and the water. We use on-site evaluation, collect certified-laboratory samples when necessary, explain the findings, and recommend treatment only after the problem is understood.
