Note: UV light will consistently sterilize your water. But the input water quality may vary over the time. If this system is the only treatment for your drinking water, please test the output water regularly by professional water quality labs to make sure it is safe for drinking. Since there may be many different kind of risks in the untreated water supply, this system alone can't guarantee the safeness of the water it produces if its input water is not from a tested drinkable water resource.Note: Active charcoal carbon filters are most effective at removing chlorine, sediment, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), taste and odor from water. They are not effective at removing minerals, salts, and dissolved inorganic compounds, which are main sources of TDS (Total Dissolved Solid) reading. That means you will not see a significant drop on TDS readings by any carbon filters. Typical particle sizes that can be removed by carbon filters range from 0.5 to 50 micrometres. The efficiency of a carbon filter is also based upon the flow rate regulation. When the water is allowed to flow through the filter at a slower rate, the contaminants are exposed to the filter media for a longer amount of time.
UV light of this system stays on all the time for two reasons:
1. UV light bulb is like fluorescent light, frequent shut-off will greatly reduce its life span.
2. The UV light bulb takes a second to warn up from cold to reach its full sanitizing power. If it only turns on when the faucet is turned on, not fully sanitized water can be produced for the user.
