TAP Series Point of Use

Sterilight Viqua Ultraviolet UV Systems for Water Disinfection

VIQUA POU UV - TAP Series Point of Use Ultraviolet Disinfection Systems

VIQUA TAP Series Ultraviolet Disinfection Systems are specifically designed for point-of-use applications where microbiological control is required.  Ultraviolet water treatment controls bacteria, virus and protozoan cyst (specifically giardia lamblia and cryptosporidium).  VIQUA TAP series are installed at a single tap (or faucet) within a home, cottage or business. TAP systems are also suitable for fountains or low-flow applications (1-4 gpm).

Benefits of UV Disinfection

  • 99.99% destruction of bacteria, virus and protozoan cysts (Giardia Lamblia and Cryptosporidium) at rated flow.
  • Chemical-free
  • Easy to install and service
  • Economical and energy efficient
  • Addresses broader range of pathogens than chlorine.*

*Some protozoa like Cryptosporidium and Giardia are resistant to chlorination.

Additional Advantages of Ultraviolet Systems

  • The quality of drinking water can change with time and become contaminated with harmful bacteria. VIQUA UV systems are a reliable, economical and chemical-free way to safeguard drinking water in any residential application. 
  • Treating our water supply by the use of UV disinfection is not only more effective than traditional treatments, but it is also an environmental responsible way of treating our water. There are no disinfection by-products with the use of UV which is safe and chemical free. Plus, UV does not alter water chemistry and its constituents, such as pH, taste, odor, or color.
  • Purchasing a UV disinfection system for your home has a capital low cost as well as a low operational cost. The energy used by a UV disinfection system in an average size home is comparable to the same energy used by a 40-watt bulb!
