Application guide
UV Water Disinfection Systems in the UAE & GCC
Disinfect water without adding chemicals. We supply Atlantic Ultraviolet purifiers from compact point-of-use units to multi-chamber systems for process facilities, hospitals and larger flows.
Which UV purifier suits your water system?
Start with the flow rate and where the unit will be installed. UV works best on clear water, so plan filtration first.
| Your situation | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Under-sink, vending machine or small RO system | MINIPURE, 1 to 9 GPM | A compact, economical point-of-use line, also used on boats and recreational vehicles. |
| Well water, farm, laboratory or restaurant | MIGHTY PURE, 3 to 20 GPM | Standard-feature purifiers with optional accessories such as an ultraviolet monitor. |
| Process facility, hospital or swimming pool | SANITRON single chamber, 3 to 40 GPM | Designed to meet U.S. Public Health Guidelines. Models S37C, S50C and S2400C are NSF/ANSI certified. |
| Larger flows | SANITRON multi-chamber, 83 to 416 GPM | Combines single-chamber models to raise flow rate. Certain models are NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 certified. |
| Liquid storage tank that sweats or grows bacteria | Nutripure storage tank conditioner | Germicidal UV lamps treat the tank air space to prevent condensation and bacteria growth. |
UV inactivates microorganisms. It does not remove chemicals, taste or particles, and cloudy water reduces its effect. Treat turbidity and iron first, usually with filtration.

Atlantic Ultraviolet also makes UV air and surface disinfection fixtures. Browse UV Sterilisers.
How to size a UV water system
Six points to settle before you choose a unit.
- What is the peak flow rate?Size for the highest flow, not the average. A unit that is too small will not give the required dose.
- What is the water quality?Turbidity, colour and iron reduce UV transmission. Filter first where the water is not clear.
- What dose or standard applies?Check the disinfection requirement your site, client or regulator sets.
- Where will it be installed?Check space, pressure, connections and the power supply for the chosen chamber.
- How will you confirm it is working?An optional UV monitor shows lamp output, so you know disinfection is in place.
- How will you maintain it?Plan lamp and quartz sleeve replacement and cleaning. Keep spares on site.

UV water disinfection FAQs
How does UV water disinfection work?
Water flows past germicidal UV lamps in a chamber. The UV light damages the DNA of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms so they cannot reproduce.
Does UV remove chemicals or particles?
No. UV treats microorganisms only. Chemicals, taste, odour and turbidity need other treatment, and cloudy water lowers UV effectiveness.
Do I need to filter water before UV?
In most cases yes. Clear water lets UV light reach every part of the flow. Filtration is a normal step ahead of a UV unit.
How do I know the UV lamp is working?
Fit the optional ultraviolet monitor, which shows the lamp output. Lamps and quartz sleeves also need regular replacement and cleaning.
Which UV unit is suitable for a swimming pool or hospital?
The SANITRON range is used in process facilities, hospitals and swimming pools. Models S37C, S50C and S2400C are NSF/ANSI certified. Tell us the flow and standard and we will advise.
Do you supply UV systems across the GCC?
Yes. Daly Middle East supplies from Dubai to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain.
Need UV disinfection for a project in the UAE or GCC?
Send us the flow rate, water source and the standard you need to meet. We will recommend the unit and quote it.
