Residential, Commercial & Municipal
Residential
Residential systems span a wide range of flow rates and home sizes. Some regions require UV equipment to be independently tested and certified to standards such as NSF/ANSI 55, WQA Gold Seal, or CSA B483.1.
Commercial / Industrial
Commercial and industrial UV systems are common in campgrounds, hotels, restaurants, processing plants, and recreational facilities. Applicable testing protocols include NSF/ANSI 55, ETV, and DVGW.
Municipal
Municipal applications always fall under drinking-water regulations because they supply water to the public. Testing protocols include USEPA UVDGM (2006), DVGW, ÖNorm, and NSF/ANSI 55.
