Storing drinking water leads to contamination within days. Bacteria develop and harm your health. The best countermeasure is the application of UV lamps. They work efficiently by disturbing the transfer of genetic information during cell division. As a result, the germs die.
The Reich UV 12 submersible lamp works this way. It consists of a submersible tube, encased by special quartz glass, and an electronic control gear used for controlling the power supply. Waterproof power connectors and a compact size allow its use as a submersible lamp in freshwater tanks. In operation, the submersible lamp is activated by the electrical ballast every 4 hours for 15 minutes. This short amount of time is sufficient to destroy DNA-transfer during the cell division so that the bacteria die. The submersible lamp can also be operated by means of a solar panel. The sterilisation performance of the Reich UV 12 submersible lamp was tested and proven by the Hygiene Institute of the University of Heidelberg.
