Research illustrates that UV light can eliminate over 99.9% of pathogens in water. Its effectiveness is not influenced by water temperature or pH, which makes it more reliable compared to traditional chemical disinfectants such as chlorine. However, UV disinfection does require certain conditions to be most effective, including adequate contact time and clarity of the water being treated.

UV light disinfection is a treatment option that can contribute to the effective implementation of a multi-barrier approach that reduces microbial risk in drinking water supplies. UV light disinfection can be used as the primary disinfectant for the inactivation of chlorine resistant pathogens (e.g. Cryptosporidium and Giardia), thereby reducing disinfection by-product formation.
