The RainMaster ultraviolet water sterilizer is an axial flow reactor constructed of 304 stainless steel equipped with 3/4" MNPT connections. This 30 watt model (UV-8GPM) is designed to properly treat flow rates up to 8 gallons per minute.
Two other RainMaster UV Models are also available:
It is important not to exceed the unit's maximum specified flow rate in order to assure proper UV germicidal dosage. If there is any uncertainty as to the flow rate that your system is required to treat, then either select a UV model with higher flow capacity or install a flow restrictor (sold separately).
UV water sterilizers are the most economical way to treat water requiring a 99.9% reduction of bacteria, virus and protozoa and they do so without the use of heat or chemicals. UV water sterilization is a unique and rapid method of water disinfection using germicidal ultraviolet lamps that produce short wave radiation lethal to bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms present in water. Since 1877 when Dr. Niels Ryberg Finsen - a Danish Scientist - discovered the germicidal uses of ultraviolet technology, UV water treatment has become well established as a method of choice for effective and economical water disinfection.
Germicidal ultraviolet light waves are invisible to the naked eye. UV light is segmented to three ranges of wave lengths; UVA， UVB， UVC. At present, 254nm UVC is the most efficient wave to kill bacteria and, like the RainMaster series, almost all UV water sterilizers operate in this wavelength.
Method of Operation:
The RainMaster series of UV sterilizers have been carefully designed to provide sufficient germicidal dosage up to the specified maximum flow rate throughout the entire disinfection chamber using the following sequence:
Filtered water enters the ultraviolet sterilizer and flows through the stainless steel housing between the quartz sleeve and the housing wall.
Suspended microorganisms are exposed to the ultraviolet rays emitted by the germicidal lamp
The LED indicator light, located on the ballast, provides a visual indication of germicidal lamp operation.
Water leaving the sterilizer is ready for use and no further contact time is required.
