Wells are vital to the infrastructure and livability of our towns. Many places don’t have access to flowing freshwater like lakes and rivers, but there can be plenty of water located underground.

UV Water Purifiers: How They Work and Why They’re a Great Choice

July 8th, 2024

Pure water isn’t just a phrase we throw around easily. In order for us to call water “pure” it needs to meet certain standards. For instance, pure water should be drinkable, but it should also smell clean and fresh. The way water smells, tastes, and even looks can be impacted by the biological contaminants found within it.

UV water purifiers in Tenino are the perfect solution to this problem. They can treat your water by removing biological contaminants without needing more energy than what’s needed to run a small lightbulb. Let’s talk about how this works and why it’s such an amazing process.
