Acuva Launches New UV-LED Water Purifier
Acuva Technologies, a supplier of UV-LED drinking water purification technology, recently announced two new additions to its growing portfolio of products. Both systems feature Acuva’s patented IntenseBeam technology, delivering high disinfection with low maintenance requirements.
The new Eco-NX product series offers point-of-use UV-LED water disinfection for home, marine and RV applications. It’s first release, the Eco-NX Silver received NSF/ANSI 55-2019 Class B certification.
The Eco-NX Silver will be available in early 2020, replacing the Eco 1.0. It’s design to be more compact and purifies water to NSF/ANSI 55-2019 Class B standards at a 1.2 LPM flow rate. It features built-in instant flow-sensing activation.
NSF International recently released NSF/ANSI 55-2019 to include test protocols for LED-based systems. Acuva played a leadership role in the development of this important update as part of the International Task Group.
“This is an incredible achievement for the industry and wouldn’t have been possible without extensive effort and dedication within the community,” said Dr. Ashkan Babaie, Acuva’s director of advanced engineering.
“We are glad to see updated regulatory measures applied across the UV-LED water disinfection system industry,” said Manoj Singh, president and CEO of Acuva. “Verified microbial disinfection is a critical consideration for consumer health and safety. We intend to have all our products certified to these standards going forward.”
The development of a new point-of-entry UV-LED water disinfection system also was announced. This high-performance system offers flow rates from 8 to 20 GPM with minimal maintenance.
Acuva’s point-of-entry UV-LED water disinfection systems provide microbiological disinfection performance as per the industry standards. The highly anticipated system will be available in mid-2020.
Both systems are available for preview at Aquatech Amsterdam 2019.
