Water Treatment

How does UV-LED Disinfection Work?

UV disinfection kills harmful microorganisms by disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions.

Optimized Performance

Our UV-LED water disinfection systems are designed with precise optic and hydrodynamics. Water flows through the chamber in a controlled environment, matching water velocity and UV irradiance; creating consistent purification. Our systems are flow-activated, using minimal power consumption while extending product lifetime.

Technology you can Trust

Our patented IntenseBeam™ technology uses UV-LEDs and optical lensing to deliver a precise beam of UVC energy into flowing water. The collimated bean inactivates waterborne pathogens directly, giving you drinking water you can trust.

UV-LED is the Ideal Solution

Gold Standard Purification

Low Power and Maintenance-Free

Sustained High Performance

Better for the Environment

Why UV-LED purify is more effective than Reverse Osmosis.

UV-LED Systems	RO Systems
Works on low pressure (even at 12 psi water pressure)	Requires high water pressure (require at least 40 psi)
Kills bacteria and viruses	Bacteria and viruses are trapped in membrance
Low maintenance	High maintenance due to frequent replacement of cartridges
Effective for disinfecting all types of bacteria and viruses	Not effective for all bacteria and viruses due to water bypass and large poresize
Does not waste water	Up to 70% of water wasted
Keeps healthy minerals in water	Removes healthy minerals
Compact	Bulky
No need of storage tank	Needs a storage tank
Low cost of ownership	High cost of ownership

How do you Measure Disinfection Rates?

Log reduction is a measure of how many living microbes were eliminated from
the water after treatment. Acuva’s UV-LED products are proven to offer up to 6-log reduction (>99.9999% disinfection)

UV-LED System vs UV Lamp System

The conventional technique for UV water treatment utilizes UV mercury lamps. However, there are serious concerns related to the environmental impacts and performance limitations of UV-lamps.

	UV-LEDs	UV Lamps
Structure	Compact	Bulky
Power Consumption	Low	High
Enviromental Impact	Friendly	Mercury Used
Lifetime	10+ Years	Typically 1 Year
UV Source Replacement	None	Typically Every Year
Start Time	Instant	Long

Environmentally Friendly Solution

A single Acuva unit can pay for itself in less than a year while significantly reducing the need of more than 100,000 single-use plastic water bottles in its lifetime.
