WaterHealth International's patented, award-winning technology, UV Waterworks™ (UVW™), employs a unique ultraviolet system configuration in which the ultraviolet light source is suspended in air, and features a specially designed, gravity-driven water flow channel. UV disinfection is an extremely safe, reliable, and environmentally superior method of disinfecting water for human consumption and other uses. UVW delivers a high dose of ultraviolet light that inactivates microorganisms through disruption of their DNA processes. When organisms try to replicate, they die.
 UV Waterworks has been tested extensively by third-party laboratories to verify its efficacy against a broad range of bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause acute, often fatal, waterborne diseases. Coupled with a multi-stage filtration system that also removes silt, bad tastes, and odors, UV Waterworks is a complete water-disinfection solution. The water produced exceeds the potable water standards of the World Health Organization.In both its operational characteristics and application potential, UV Waterworks' process and design represent a significant departure from existing potable water purification processes, such as conventional UV systems, reverse osmosis, ozonation, and chlorination. Benefits of the technology include high efficacy, high throughput, a small footprint, and long-term reliability. The modular design means that systems can be scaled to serve communities of various sizes. Non-proprietary components that are coupled with UVW in WHI's installations are readily available in most parts of the world. Ease-of-use and low maintenance requirements mean that our systems can be deployed even in the most remote locations.
