Take Control of Your Water with VIQUA UV Water Filtration Systems

Clean, safe drinking water is essential for your family's health, but water quality can change daily due to seasonal shifts, infrastructure issues, and contamination risks. With rising concerns over waterborne illnesses, boil water advisories, and aging water systems, ensuring your home has reliable, purified water is more important than ever.

VIQUA UV water treatment systems provide powerful, chemical-free protection against bacteria, viruses, and other harmful contaminants. Whether you're on a private well or municipal water supply, our advanced UV filtration technology helps safeguard your water—so you can enjoy peace of mind every time you turn on the tap.

UV Technology new, but ours is revolutionary

UV has been used since the early 1900s as a way to eliminate the health threat of microorganisms in water. At VIQUA, we’ve been refining and perfecting the technology for use in homes since the 1970s.

How UV Works

Water is disinfected as it runs through a stainless steel chamber containing a UV lamp. As water flows past the lamp, illness-causing microorganisms receive a lethal dose of UV light that attacks their DNA and eliminates their ability to reproduce. Harmful bacteria and viruses are deactivated, and your family is safe!

Chlorine-resistant microorganisms

By installing a VIQUA UV system, you can be confident you’re protected from chlorine-resistant microorganisms, such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. All water systems can be vulnerable to these microbes given the right conditions. Cryptosporidium is resistant to chlorine and has become a common waterborne disease everywhere. This microscopic bug was responsible for many deaths and widespread illness when it contaminated the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, drinking water supply in 1993, sickening over 400,000 people and killing over a hundred.

But not all events are so high profile. Every year, thousands of cases of illness caused by Cryptosporidium and Giardia are documented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), despite the amazing efforts made to keep our water safe. And according to a recent study published in the United States, as many as 19.5 million cases of illness every year can be attributed to contaminated drinking water.

What Can You Do?

Well, you have a few options.
1. Continue drinking your tap water.
2. Buy bottled water. That only addresses the problem for your drinking water, though. What about water for cooking? Showering? Brushing your teeth?
3. Start disinfecting the water coming into your home so that every tap gives safe, treated water

Water Disinfection Options

Not all water disinfection technologies are created equal. For example, chemicals can be both dangerous to handle and potentially hazardous to the environment – and some waterborne illness-causing microbes are chlorine-resistant. Reverse osmosis wastes on average three gallons of water for every one gallon it purifies, and is no longer recognized as a barrier to microbiological contamination. Filters can improve taste, but they generally don’t treat microbiological contaminants. There is an option that addresses all of these issues: ultraviolet (UV) disinfection.

Think UV, Think VIQUA

UV water disinfection is a safe, chemical-free way to treat water. Even chlorine-resistant microorganisms are made harmless through UV exposure. Lack of chemicals means no harmful chemical byproducts are going back into the environment, and the taste of your water is not affected in any way. VIQUA’s UV systems install easily into existing water lines and provide clean, safe water to every tap in your house.

VIQUA UV systems are also extremely economical to operate. A typical whole home system uses the same power as a 40-Watt light bulb.

Depending on the size of your home, the current quality of your water, and your water source, we can provide a system to meet your needs. Please refer to our handy system sizing chart on the back of this pamphlet to see what kind of system would work for you and your family.
