Ultraviolet (UV) light has been used for many decades to destroy disease-causing pathogens in drinking water. This chemical-free technology is most commonly deployed against such pathogens as E.coli and Coliform that can easily contaminate well and surface waters.
Wyckomar manufactures UV systems for almost any flow rate from residential to commercial/industrial. You can choose from our standard line-up of UV purifiers or we can build to your project specifications.
The importance and practical use of UV Air disinfection has been brought to light by the pandemic. Airborne pathogens including virus and bacteria are destroyed by germicidal UV light at 254nm and you can use our UV-Air systems to help reduce viral loads in almost any room. Wyckomar has two models of UV-Air purifiers to suit your needs for commercial and institutional use.
Making drinking water safe is different from what we commonly think of as simple filtration. Where filtration involves physically removing contaminants such as rust and dirt from a water source, the UV process works by acting on unseen pathogens in the water, many of which can be harmful to health.
UV disinfection is the process of killing pathogens in the water supply. These include Influenza, E. coli, Coliform, Hepatitis, V. cholerae, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Legionella and many more. (See comprehensive UV Inactivation Chart.) UV is highly effective against all common bacterial, viral and cyst types of pathogen.
A UV system kills these pathogens instantly by exposing the water stream to a high intensity UV light, much like the sun. This process uses no chemicals and is completely neutral. After this brief exposure, no pathogens survive and the water is safe to drink.
When combined with proper filtration, the UV disinfection process will provide you with unlimited amounts of clean, safe and pathogen-free water for use throughout the entire home.

The Solar Tote by Wyckomar is a complete portable solar-powered water treatment system plus a lot more.
The Solar Tote is also a stand-alone electrical power center allowing you to operate a wide variety of 12VDC devices and when equipped with an invertor you can also run some 120/240V appliances.
The system is fully independent and very useful for black-out and other emergency conditions.
