UV Waterworks™ (UVW™) was invented to address the needs of underserved communities around the world. This patented, award-winning technology uses an ultraviolet light source suspended in air to inactivate a broad range of microorganisms.  Dr. Ashok Gadgil, VP of Scientific Affairs for WHI, developed UVW at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and has received international acclaim for his invention and its ability to deliver high-quality water at very low cost.

Through a multi-stage filtration process coupled with our proprietary ultraviolet disinfection technology, contaminated water is converted into clean, potable water that exceeds the World Health Organization's standards for potable water.  Low maintenance requirements, high efficiency, and high throughput result in systems that deliver affordable, high-quality drinking water even to remote and rural markets that have previously been unserved.
