UV-C LED – the future of water disinfection
Safe, chemical-free, and highly efficient – WM aquatec is setting new standards in the treatment of drinking, process, and wastewater with innovative UV-C LED solutions. Our technology eliminates harmful microorganisms in an eco-friendly and efficient manner, ensuring you can enjoy the purest water at any time.
How UV-C LED Disinfection Works
The principle is based on pure physics rather than chemistry. Our units emit high-energy ultraviolet light at 265 ± 5 nm wavelength, the most effective wavelength for the disruption of pathogen DNA.
The radiation penetrates directly into the genetic material (DNA/RNA) of microorganisms.
The UV-C light destroys molecular bonds, rendering germs unable to reproduce. They are neutralized within fractions of a second—without changing the taste or odor of the water.
