Aquafactors' legionella beater
April 1st 2008

Aquafactors has always considered legionella contamination to be highly unlikely to occur in its water-fed pole and mobile cold water systems.However, the subject has ben highlighted by firms promoting hot water systems – heightening uncertainty about a very serious disease.

Aquafactors now sells a simple UV sterilisation unit which can be mounted alongside existing kit and linked to a vehicles' 12 volt DC supply.

The UV device consists of a ultra violet lamp which is housed in a aluminium column through which the water, travelling to the pole, flows.The consistent light from the lamp eradiates the water which is sterilised (disinfected) with the UV rays. Ultra Violet light is an excellent 'bug killer' and will eliminate bacteria,mould, algae and viruses as well as legionella.
