  Because Pure Water Is Clearly The Best Choice


 

Ultraviolet Lights

Trojan UV Max PRO  is an NSF Certified UV system that will provide safe, bacteria free water  It is ideally suited for public water systems such as schools, campgrounds, small municipal installations, and homes or cottages. It is manufactured by the world leader in ultraviolet disinfection for water, Trojan UV.

Product Description
The Trojan UV Max PRO  is the newest and most advanced ultraviolet water filter system. A new lamp technology delivers outstanding performance - twice the power of its predecessors and competitors. Integrated system cooling keeps the ultraviolet (UV) lamp at peak operating temperature in all water conditions. More impressive, is that this ultraviolet (UV) lamp lasts twice as long (2 years) as competitive systems, reducing the maintenance schedule and saving you money for lamp replacements.

Several new advances makes the Trojan UV Max PRO  easier to install and maintain. These include an optional solenoid valve with manual override, an integrated ground on the lamp connector, and a new uv lamp assembly that allows the user to install the lamp with no tools, and without the risk of over tightening.

A newly designed ultraviolet (UV) sensor on the Trojan UV Max PRO  ensures that a high UV dose is always being applied to the water. In the event that water quality changes and not enough UV is being delivered, the system will go into alarm. LED indicators on the PRO  controller show the user the source of the alarm. With past systems, it was sometimes difficult to determine if an alarm was from low quality water, or a faulty UV sensor. The new PRO Series sensor is user-testable. With the push of a button you can confirm that the sensor is working properly and that the alarm is legitimate.

Perhaps the biggest leap forward for the Trojan UV Max PRO  is its ability to display and store UV system performance information. When used with the Trojan COMMcenter, the PRO  is able to show real time UV dose - the only true measure of disinfection performance. The COMMcenter also displays alarm history, lamp hours, and other performance parameters - for up to nine systems. The COMMcenter can be wired using standard computer network cable, or can be used wirelessly using an optional adapter. The COMMcenter can also be interfaced directly with a PC and using free software provided by Trojan, UV system data can be viewed and recorded in real time. Alternatively, data can be transferred from the COMMcenter to a PC using a mini-SD memory card.

Bacteria Facts

Coliform bacteria are a very common water pollutant in drilled and dug wells. Coliform bacteria are a type of bacteria that are found in the guts of ruminant animals such as cattle. In these animals Coliform bacteria play an important role in the normal digestive process. Because Coliform bacteria is present in the guts of these animals, it is also present in their feces. Wells that are contaminated with coliform bacteria are essentially wells that have been exposed to the excrement of animals.

Bacteria that are found in water are measured in CFU's. A CFU is a "colony forming unit". They are given this name based on the laboratory testing methods used for counting bacteria such as coliform. A water sample is shaken and then a small amount of this water is plated on a bacterial growth media. The plate is them incubated in an oven and after about a day any bacteria present will have multiplied forming a small colony that appears as a dot. The colonies are counted and this results in the bacterial "count" which is reported.

The good news is that coliform bacteria is not particularly dangerous. Most health units or departments of health will consider water with less than 5 CFU's safe to consume. So this question arises: why test for coliform in the first place if it is not particularly dangerous. The answer is simple. The presence of coliform bacteria indicates the existence of a pathway through which a water supply can be contaminated with animal waste. Animal waste can introduce a number of very dangerous organisms into a water supply, not the least of which is e.coli bacteria. So, coliform bacteria is used to indicate the possibility of future contamination by a much more dangerous group of bugs.

The good news is that both coliform and e.coli bacteria can be easily and quite affordably eliminated from a water supply using home UV Systems.
