Why Choose Daro UV for Water Treatment?

Daro UV systems represent the pinnacle of British-engineered water disinfection technology. When you choose Daro for your water treatment needs, you are selecting a system designed for maximum efficacy, longevity, and ease of use. Here is why Daro UV systems are the preferred choice for both domestic and commercial water purification:

1. Chemical-Free Disinfection

Unlike chlorine-based treatments, Daro UV technology utilizes high-intensity UV-C light to neutralize harmful microorganisms. This process is entirely chemical-free, ensuring that the taste, odour, and pH balance of your water remain unaffected while effectively eliminating 99.9% of waterborne bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, including E. coli and Cryptosporidium.

2. Rigorous Quality Standards (WRAS Approval)

Daro is a brand synonymous with quality and compliance. Many of their systems are WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved, ensuring they meet the stringent legal requirements for water fittings and materials in the UK. This provides peace of mind that your equipment is safe, durable, and fully compliant with local water bylaws.

3. High-Output Performance & Efficiency

Daro systems are engineered for consistent performance. By utilising advanced high-output UV lamps, these systems ensure a high UV-C dose, which is critical for maintaining safety even during fluctuations in water flow. Their efficient design reduces energy consumption without compromising the integrity of the disinfection process.

4. Simplified Maintenance

One of the key advantages of Daro systems is the user-friendly design. With intuitive lamp change indicators and easy-access quartz sleeves, maintenance is simplified for the end-user. This reduces downtime and ensures your water supply remains protected year-round with minimal manual intervention.

5. Backed by Expert Support

When you invest in a Daro UV system, you are supported by an established heritage of water treatment engineering. Wrekin Water Treatment offers full technical support and easy access to genuine Daro replacement lamps and quartz sleeves, ensuring your system performs optimally throughout its entire lifespan.

Frequently asked questions

Under the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 (and the 2014 Byelaws in Scotland), any person proposing to install a water treatment unit that produces a waste discharge or requires water for regeneration must notify the local water undertaker at least 10 working days before work begins. While UV systems themselves do not always produce a waste stream, they are often part of a wider treatment suite (like backwashing filters) that does require consent.

Alternative water systems, including those utilizing UV sterilization for boreholes or rainwater harvesting, are considered a Fluid Category 5 risk—the highest risk level, representing a serious health hazard due to pathogenic organisms. To comply with regulations, these systems must be separated from any mains backup supply by a Type AA, AB, or AD air gap to prevent contaminated water from backflowing into the public supply.

UV systems are not "fit and forget" technologies. To ensure compliance and safety, the following is required:

  • Pre-filtration: The water must be clear (typically <1 NTU turbidity). If turbidity is high, a sediment filter is mandatory because particles can "shadow" bacteria from the UV light.
  • Sleeve Cleaning: The quartz sleeve must be kept free of mineral scale (calcium or iron build up), as this prevents UV rays from penetrating the water.
  • Annual Lamp Replacement: UV lamps typically lose their germicidal effectiveness after approximately 9,000 hours of use, even if they still appear to be lit.
