RVs & Small Boats

The Need for RV Disinfection

While plenty of people still enjoy the thrill of “roughing it,” others define camping as driving their pricey RV to a state park campground or “RV resort.” Camping in an RV, also called a motor home, is a far cry from a 5-star hotel, especially when it comes to the quality of the water provided at the hook-up. While some state park campgrounds have their water regularly monitored and tested for pH, solids, turbidity, and coliform levels, the same is not necessarily true for privately-owned campgrounds. There is always a risk of high chemical content or even microbial contamination, especially if the water source is a groundwater well as opposed to a municipal utility.

According to the CDCopen_in_new, drinking contaminated water in your RV or boat, or even using it to brush your teeth, could result in stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. These symptoms are difficult to treat when access to proper medical care is limited. There can even be severe health consequences if you contract one of many possible waterborne diseases. On-board UV water disinfection can provide the protection and peace of mind you need when traveling and camping.

Ultraviolet UV-C water purifiers are utilized in campgrounds, motor homes and trailers to ensure that the water that is utilized for various locations is safe and free of microorganisms.

Bio-Logic® UV water purifiers 1.5–3.0 GPM

Bio-Logic® Ultraviolet Water Purifiers and Bio-Logic® Ultraviolet Water Purifiers & PWP can be installed in small spaces (typically a Point of Use application) and have dual rotatable heads, making them ideal for installations with unusual hook ups. The Bio-Logic® Pure Water Packis designed ONLY for Point of Use (typically under a sink) and is equipped with a mounting bracket and dual filtration (sediment and carbon) in addition to the 1.5 gallon-per-minute ultraviolet water purifier. Two options are available for carbon filtration — the 2-micron size removing a longer list of contaminants than the standard 5-micron filter.

MINIPURE® UV water purifiers 1–9 GPM

MINIPURE® models have a compact footprint for Point of Use installation such as under the sink, water vending machines, small reverse osmosis systems, boats, recreational vehicles, and other similar applications. An LED on the ballast — along with an EASY-OFF™ End Cap with clear window plug — provide visual indication of germicidal lamp operation. Models come equipped with an audible alarm integrated into the ballast that alerts you of malfunction. All MINIPURE® UV Water Purifiers come equipped with Stainless Steel Promate™ Wall Mounting Brackets.

Ultimate™ UV water purifiers 4–9 GPM

Ultimate™ UV-C Water Purifiers are designed for a vertical mount — perfect for POU (point-of-use) or POE (point of entry). Typical applications include homes, laboratories, water vending, etc. Several models are available to handle most small water requirements, fitting easily in spaces that can’t accommodate a horizontally-mounted purifier.

MIGHTY★PURE® UV water purifiers 3–20 GPM

MIGHTY★PURE® can install POU (point-of-use) or POE (point-of-entry). These models offer superior quality and numerous standard features, such as a sight port for viewing germicidal ultraviolet lamp operation. Several optional accessories are available, such as a Germicidal UV Monitor for a more in-depth knowledge of the purifier operation.

SANITRON® UV water purifiers 3–416 GPM NSF®/ANSI 61 & 372 Certified

While any of our SANITRON® models can be used in multiples to allow for growing or changing applications, our SANITRON® S2400C Opens in New Window (40 gallons per minute) model was initially designed with the modular design platform in mind — allowing for 80 gallons per minute treatment with two purifiers used together, 160 gallons per minute with four purifiers, and so on. Quartz sleeve cleaning is a simple task with the standard patented Dual-Action Wiper Mechanism. Models S37C, S50C, and S2400C are certified to NSF®/ANSI 61 and 372 — Drinking Water System Component — Health Effects and Lead Content.
