Our SMART UV “Green Water” flow rates consider green water conditions during installation and factor into the flow rate formula an 90% UV Transmissibility factor! “Green Water” flow rates represent the lamp's operating performance when new and at end of useful life (80%). “Green Water” flow rates are based on actual UV Sterilizer performance capacity!

UV Water Flow Rates
To achieve successful UV disinfection the UV equipment
capacity must match the target microorganism’s UV dose requirement. In other words; the microorganism must be held
in direct contact with the UV-C light for a specific amount of
time (UV Exposure uWs/cm2), enough to irradiate it. Calcu-
lating the operating capacity of UV equipment is based on Established Engineering Guidelines, like those found in the Bolton Photosciences “Ultraviolet Applications Handbook”. Because our markets are not regulated, meaning that the equipment manufacturers are not held accountable for their equipment capacity data, many of them exaggerate it. This exaggerated information greatly jeopardizes your success with using their equipment. EA is one of the few UV manufacturers who can legitimately prove the accuracy of its UV equipment water flow rates while many of our competitors can not. EA calculates our UV water flow rates using the Bolton Photosciences UV Calc Modeling Program, the same program recognized by the EPA.
