While the quality of drinking water is quite high in many countries, there is still a general danger of secondary infection from harmful bacteria from contaminated pipelines, valves, or fittings. Germs are often found in regions of low water current and abandoned pipes. With CONTURAX® UV, however, SCHOTT now offers a way of ensuring high water quality directly at the point of use because the innovative design of the CONTURAX® UV glass reactor combines a highly compact design with the highest possible efficiency. And thanks to the durable glass and reflective coating, the product requires hardly any maintenance.

Only 28 millimeters in diameter, the CONTURAX® UV glass reactor can be used to build extremely small UV modules that effectively leverage properties of modern UV light sources, such as longevity and frequent switching cycles. This means UV disinfection can be performed in areas where it was completely impossible before, including dishwashers and washing machines, but also fittings in bathrooms and kitchens. Other potential areas of application include medical treatment devices and dental chairs.
