Answer: Q: It's not clear from your email as to whether or not your problem is related to microorganism contamination, which is more likely in surface water than groundwater. If it is, however, ultraviolet should work effectively provided that the water is adequately filtered to remove suspended solids and the UV unit is sufficiently maintained. There are several manufacturers of high quality systems that could be of help to you in this application. We would suggest you check our online Buyer's Guide, which provides an extensive list of UV equipment suppliers (see www.wcponline.com). Let us know if we can be of further help.
