How the Luminor Blackcomb UV System Works
The Luminor Blackcomb 15 GPM system disinfects water using high-intensity ultraviolet light. As water flows through the stainless-steel chamber, UV light penetrates microorganisms and disrupts their DNA, preventing them from reproducing.
For UV disinfection to work effectively:
Water must be clear and properly pre-filtered
The UV lamp must be operational and replaced on schedule
Flow rate must stay within system specifications
This system is designed to run continuously to provide constant protection.
