   Commercial Water Disinfection
   for Safe, Clean Water
The Environmental Warehouse home page
DRINKSAFE DRINKSAFE is the safe and easy method for the filtration and disinfection of water supplies. With DRINKSAFE you are assured of water free from harmful bacteria, viruses & cysts. For commercial applications DRINKSAFE is connected to the existing water supply preferably near the point of use. Disinfected water is then available to all points that require clean sterile water.
Applications
DRINKSAFE is suitable wherever clean sterile water is required to protect the health of patients, customers, employees or family.

Why Drinksafe works
DRINKSAFE uses both filtration and disinfection to ensure sterilization of the water. A 0.5 micron filter screens out cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium (these cysts are typically 5 - 10 microns in size). 

Ultraviolet light is applied as the germicidal agent, disrupting the chemical bonds of organic molecules such as the nucleic acids of bacterial & viral cells preventing cells from reproducing and killing them. Ultraviolet light is required because viruses are very small (0.3 micron), therefore filters designed for Giardia are ineffective. 

Water is exposed to ultraviolet light twice, once before the filter (this reduces filter fouling by viruses and bacteria) and after the filter.
DRINKSAFE Advantages
DRINKSAFE - Advanced Design Features....
Sterilization occurs as water passes through non-fouling Teflon tubes which are surrounded by mercury vapour lamps. The lamps operate at a controlled temperature and emit ultraviolet light at a specific wavelength of 253.7 nanometres. At this wavelength harmful bacteria and viruses are exposed to a lethal dose of radiation. Turbulent flow path ensures maximum radiation exposure. 

DRINKSAFE - Low Maintenance....
Change filter as required and replace mercury vapour lamp once per year. Quick action lamp holder for easy replacement of lamps. Typical operating cost is only 1 - 3 cents per litre.

DRINKSAFE - Safety....
Built in safety features to protect your family & employees include:
  - All wetted parts are of food grade standard.
  - Ultraviolet lights are protected in a panel. A micro switch turns the lamps off      if the removable panel is accidentally opened whilst power is on.
  - Earth leakage protection meets Australian Standards.
  - External lamp operation indicator.

DRINKSAFE is designed and manufactured in Australia.
