UV water treatment has WRAS approval

Xylem, UV water treatment, WRAS

The Aquada UV Series of water-disinfection units from Xylem Water Systems now has WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) Approval, so it meets all criteria for water disinfection set out by UK water companies.

The system is effective at inactivating viruses, bacteria, parasites and other micro-pollutants that cannot be removed with simpler filtering technologies.

There are five sizes and three specification levels. Applications include residential treatment plants, rainwater harvesting and air-conditioning units.
