UV-LED Water Technology
How does UV-LED Technology Work?
In ACUVA systems, UV-LED light inactivates harmful microorganisms by disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions.
Optimized Performance
Our UV-LED water systems are designed with precise optics and hydrodynamics. Water flows through the chamber in a controlled environment, matching water velocity and UV irradiance; creating consistent, reliable performance. ACUVA systems are flow-activated, using minimal power consumption while extending product lifetime.
Trusted Technology
Our patented IntenseBeam™ technology uses UV-LEDs and optical lensing to deliver a precise beam of UV-C energy into flowing water. The collimated beam inactivates waterborne pathogens efficiently.
UV-LED Solutions for Water
Gold Standard Performance
- Inactivates up to 99.999% of E. coli bacteria and 99.3% of Q Beta viruses found in water
Low Power and Low Maintenance
- No cleaning or replacement bulbs required
- Consumes less than 2% of energy used by UV lamps
Sustained High Performance
- Self-cooling design ensures years of consistent performance
No Mercury
- Unlike UV lamp technology, UV LEDs do not contain mercury, eliminating of the risk environmental impact during disposal
UV-LED vs. Reverse Osmosis
What is Log Reduction?
Log reduction is a measure of how many living microbes were eliminated from
water after treatment. Acuva’s UV-LED products are proven to offer 5-log reduction (inactivating 99.999% of E. coli bacteria)
UV-LED Systems vs UV Lamp Systems
The conventional technique for UV water treatment utilizes UV mercury lamps. However, there are serious concerns related to the environmental impact and
performance limitations of UV lamps.
An Alternative to Plastic Bottles
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.
