How the right UV system can ensure disinfection, even in low-quality water
Many fish farmers worry about poor water quality reducing pathogen control. With advanced UV technology, you get reliable performance regardless of UVT levels, ensuring your fish stay healthy.
Let’s take the challenge of water with low UVT (Ultraviolet Transmission)
Low UVT water contains higher levels of impurities, which reduce the effectiveness of UV light penetration. This creates a risk of pathogens surviving, even with UV treatment.
You could just “add more UV”.
But the right UV system ensures consistent performance by adjusting to the conditions.
Thereby saving energy and money.
For example, a UV system with precise dose control adjusts the intensity to match low UVT levels, ensuring every pathogen is exposed to the necessary energy for inactivation.
Imagine treating water with a UVT at 90% under normal conditions, but then the UVT suddenly drops to 80%.
With a DESMI UV system, the dose delivered will remain the same.
