Disinfectors

Disinfectors treat water to inactivate, destroy, and/or remove pathogenic bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and other parasites. Common methods of disinfection use chlorination and alternative disinfectants. Disinfectors can be used to decontaminate flexible fiberoptic endoscopes as well as commercial facilities. Ultraviolet (UV) disinfectors are a relatively inexpensive way to disinfect drinking water. These systems incorporate a UV disinfector into a distribution system that enhances the microbiological purity of the water. Disinfectors are also used to disinfect water in greenhouses, as well as kill airborne bacteria in air duct systems.
