Independent tests by two internationally acclaimed laboratories confirm the success of the machine. Cryptosporidium and Giardia are pathogenic organisms often found in water. They are extremely resistant to inactivation by use of conventional disinfection, including chlorine. They are also difficult to inactivate with conventional UV systems due to the high dose required for inactivation. While specifically designed for inactivation of Cryptosporidium and Giardia , many other microorganisms will also be inactivated by this system.
Water enters the treatment chamber and passes through a specially designed filter screen.
The process is achieved on a continuous basis by using a series of automatically controlled valves. The change in flow direction ensures that debris does not accumulate on the screens. Screen condition is continuously monitored using differential pressure sensors.
