Dear Eduardo, UV works quite good for disinfection, although you should consume the water betweeen 12 and 24 h later so try to size small volume storage tank.

For increasing the efectiveness, it´s high important to filter the water up to 5 - 10 micron. Bigger particles could produce ``shadow effect´´, increasing the pathogens after UV.

About the number of lamps, you will have to size for the worst situation.

Best regards,

We are studying its applicability with water with less than 0,5 NTU, to avoid this shadow effect, as we know that is ha handicap to treatment effectivity. Only spring or well water sources should be used, because UF o extra filtration should be costly.

Thanks!
