UV Water Purification in Cambridge, MA

Ultraviolet light inactivates bacteria, viruses and protozoa such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. It adds no chemicals and does not change the taste. It also removes nothing, so it pairs with filtration instead of replacing it.

Bear Water Purification connects Cambridge, MA homeowners with plumbers who fit UV two ways. A small UV stage after an under-sink RO membrane protects drinking water from anything growing in the storage tank. A point-of-entry UV unit, sized in gallons per minute, treats the whole house. That second setup is common after a boil notice, a positive coliform test, or on any home storing water in a tank or cistern.

Water clarity decides whether UV works. Iron, hardness and turbidity coat the quartz sleeve and shade microbes from the light, so a sediment filter goes ahead of the unit.

The lamp gets replaced every 12 months, about 9,000 hours, even if it still glows. Output fades long before the light goes out. The quartz sleeve gets cleaned at the same visit.

Reverse osmosis FAQs

Questions about reverse osmosis system installation

Questions we hear most often about UV Water Purification in Cambridge, MA.

Talk to a real person
How much water does a reverse osmosis system waste?
Older under-sink systems send roughly 3 to 4 gallons to drain for every gallon of purified water. Newer high-efficiency units and systems with a permeate pump cut that ratio sharply, some close to 1 to 1.
Why does my RO water taste bad all of a sudden?
A spent carbon post-filter, a storage tank that needs sanitizing or a worn membrane are the common causes. Filter changes and a tank sanitize clear up most taste complaints.
How do I know if my RO membrane needs replacing?
Compare a TDS reading from the regular tap with one from the RO faucet. If the membrane is removing less than about 80 to 85 percent of dissolved solids, it is time to replace it.
Does a reverse osmosis system need electricity?
A standard tank system does not, and neither does a permeate pump. Tankless units, booster pumps and UV stages do need an outlet under the sink.
Can reverse osmosis remove arsenic and fluoride?
RO reduces fluoride and the arsenic V form well. Arsenic III, common in some wells, is removed poorly unless the water is oxidized first, so a lab test should come before the purchase.
