The Saphir Series is available in six different sizes depending on your flow rate requirements. There are also three different trim levels of control box, with varying degrees of telemetry and output options. This ranges through from the standard Saphir unit, the mid-spec Saphir+ and the feature-rich Saphir Pro. Details of the different capabilities can be found below.
The key advantages of UV water disinfection are:
- Eliminates the need to buy, handle and store toxic chemicals
- No risk of ‘overdose’ with UV disinfection unlike chemical disinfection
- No risk of residual by-products in your water
- Easy to install into a current water supply
- Inexpensive to purchase and cost effective to run; a Saphir UV water disinfection system uses less power than a regular light bulb
- No alteration of taste, odour or clarity of the water
Where source water is supplied directly from a bore hole, well or spring, or you’re harvesting water or simply living off-grid the compact Saphir is the ideal disinfection solution. Kind to the environment it is high performing and will last well beyond its warranty of 12-months.
