Set of filter cartridges for drinking water treatment

Small-scale system for self-sufficiency: Turn rainwater into drinking water! Turn rainwater into drinking water without chemicals using the GreenLife UV 2000 drinking water treatment system If you want to be independent of tap water or simply don’t have a water connection but do have access to rainwater, then our UV 2000 drinking water treatment system is just right for you. Whether for a home, industrial or commercial facility, construction trailer, boathouse, etc.: With the GreenLife water treatment system, you can supply yourself with good drinking water—treated from rainwater! Let’s first consider rainwater: It is formed through evaporation in the atmosphere—an excellent and free initial treatment. As a result, rainwater has a high baseline quality as drinking and utility water. Among other things, it is free of lime and phosphate as well as hormone and medication residues. Treating the water is advisable, as it can reabsorb substances before being stored in the tank.  Please check with your local authority (e.g., the public health department in Germany) to see if any additional local regulations apply to the operation of such a system.  If you have any questions, please contact us at info@greenlife.de.How the drinking water treatment system works Rainwater treatment is chemical-free: After mechanical filtration, bacteria, germs, and viruses are rendered harmless through UV disinfection. The system is characterized by exceptionally high disinfection efficiency combined with a compact design and low energy consumption. First, the rainwater is directed to the tank (cistern). Whenever possible, only roof runoff water should be used, as—unlike with yard and driveway surfaces—relatively low levels of contamination are expected. If leaf fall is anticipated, please use gutter screens or similar devices to prevent leaves from entering the tank. For optimal pre-filtration in the (rainwater) tank, we recommend using our fully biological rainwater filter BIOVITOR.The pre-filtered rainwater is transported from the cistern to the UV 2000 drinking water treatment system via the GUP 46 submersible pressure pump. There, it first passes through two sediment filters (20 µm and 10 µm), then an activated carbon filter, and finally undergoes UV disinfection: The water to be treated flows through the housing and is directed along the quartz immersion tube in which the lamp is mounted. The thin water film thickness of only 7.5 mm (referring here to the distance between the UV light exit on the quartz tube surface and the inner wall of the housing) ensures optimal penetration of the medium by the UV light. The maximum treatment capacity of the drinking water treatment system is 2,000 liters per hour. Maintenance and Care Instructions for the UV 2000 Treatment System The special UV lamps should be replaced after 10,000 operating hours; otherwise, the disinfection rate will decrease. The UV lamp can be switched off when the system is not in use. The compact design allows for easy, tool-free lamp removal and replacement, e.g., at the end of the lamp’s service life. For cleaning purposes, the quartz immersion tube can also be removed or installed without tools. The filter cartridges for sediment filtration and the activated carbon filter should be replaced as needed, but at least every 4 months.You can order the set of replacement filters for up to one year of water treatment from our shop.In addition, for your own safety, quality samples of the filtered water should be taken and tested at regular intervals.  Advantages of the GreenLife UV 2000 Water Treatment System No chemicals are introduced into the water being treatedNo impairment of smell or taste Excellent water quality when using rainwaterLow-maintenance UV lampThe UV lamps used are characterized by a long service life, high disinfection efficiency, and low energy consumptionDrinking water quality in remote locations without a drinking water connectionLong service life of the systemLow operating costsTechnical Notes for the UV 2000 Drinking Water Treatment SystemAll components are pre-assembled on a mounting plate3-stage filter: Cartridges pre-equipped with filter elementsAutomatic switch with check valve for demand-based pump controlInstall inside the building/utility room (not outdoors if there is a risk of frost)The UV system is made of electropolished stainless steelThe UV lamp for UV disinfection has a service life of approximately 10,000 hoursThe system requires 230 V / 50 Hz
