Scientists have identified more than 2,100 potential drinking water contaminants, and a study published in the American Journal of Public Health estimated that 35 percent of all gastrointestinal illnesses are waterborne and preventable. As a result, point-of-use water treatment devices are becoming more popular as consumers take control of ensuring the safety of their drinking water. Employers across the country are even incorporating safe drinking water into employee wellness programs.
innowave incorporated, a Mutual of Omaha subsidiary, provides alternatives to tap and bottled water with its revolutionary point-of-use drinking water treatment systems. Using the latest technology, innowave’s point-of-use water treatment systems provide drinking water that is 99.99 percent free of water-borne biological contaminants such as e. coli, cryptosporidium, giardia, cholera, polio, rotavirus, klebsiella terrigena and salmonella.
innowave recently introduced the enhanced innowave uvf system. The unit utilizes micron and carbon filtration combined with ultra violet light to reduce water-borne microorganisms by 99.99 percent, including e. coli, cryptosporidium, giardia, cholera, polio, rotavirus, klebsiella terrigena and salmonella, and is effective in reducing organic, inorganic and radioactive contaminants.
The innowave uvf is tested and certified by NSF International under ANSI/NSF Standard 55: Disinfection Performance, Class B for the reduction of non-pathogenic microorganisms and ANSI/NSF Standard 42 for aesthetic effects, meaning particle reduction, improvement of taste and odor and chlorine reduction. Further testing by University of Arizona microbiologist Dr. Charles Gerba confirms that the innowave uvf meets U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
