Frequently-asked Questions

Q: How does Ultra Violet Disinfection work?

A: Ultra Violet energy causes permanent inactivation of micro-organisms by disrupting DNA (the reproductive material) so that it is no longer able to maintain metabolism or reproduce. The maximum effectiveness occurs between 240 and 280nm, depending on the organism. UV kills all bacteria, fungi and moulds, as well as spores and viruses.

Q: What is Polyphosphate Dosing?

A: Polyphosphate dosing systems coat metal surfaces within the pipework and cylinder, etc, with a thin film of polyphosphate, creating a surface which does not attract limescale. Once conditioned, limescale simply passes through a domestic water system without sticking to heat exchange and metal surfaces.
