In most small to mid-scale applications (up to ~60 L/min), UVC LEDs can fully replace mercury lamps with higher safety and sustainability. For large-scale municipal systems, detailed engineering assessment is recommended.

UVC LED modules are ideal for:

• Food & beverage processing (e.g., central kitchens, ice water, bottling)

• Hotels and spas (room supply, swimming pool water treatment)

• Medical facilities (surgical water lines, dialysis units)

• Public drinking stations, aquaculture, and wastewater reuse

Common residential applications include:

• Point-of-Use (POU) kitchen water purifiers

• Point-of-Entry (POE) whole-house water systems

• Built-in disinfection for appliances like refrigerators, coffee makers, and instant water dispensers

• Outdoor or off-grid use (RVs, cabins, boats, well water purification)

• Chemical-free, no secondary pollution

• Instant on/off without preheating

• Energy-efficient and mercury-free

• Long lifespan (over 30,000 hours)

• Compact and easy to integrate into systems

UVC LED water disinfection is a physical sterilization method that uses deep ultraviolet LEDs (wavelengths between 200–280nm) to deactivate bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens by disrupting their DNA and RNA.
