First Drink Water HiFlo series of ultraviolet purification systems deliver the highest
quality and most reliable performance available.
Whether you require microbe free water, reduced or non-existent residual ozone levels
in your water purification processes, or TOC levels below 1.5 parts per billion
(ppb) in your ultra-pure water loop, you can depend on First Drink Water HiFlo systems to produce
consistently exceptional results, reliably and cost effectively.
New Lamp Technology
The new First Drink Water HiFlo systems use fewer lamps to generate a given UV dose, a result
of our powerful new UV lamp technology. These lamps combine the high electrical
efficiencies of low pressure lamps with up to five times the UV output.
At the same time, they avoid the dangers of medium pressure lamps (inability to
tolerate loss of flow for even a few seconds without drastic overheating or boiling
of the water, inability to instantly restart following power outage or switch off
and high power consumption) while providing an exceptional 12,500 hour lamp life.
What does that mean to you? A smaller footprint, simplified maintenance, and lower
operating costs.
High Efficiency Electronic Ballasts
Our new state of the art electronic ballasts developed specifically for the operation
of UV lamps delivers high UV output (upto 30% more than conventional systems). They
are compact and light weight and reduce electricity costs through higher efficiency.
They allow the system to provide a constant UV dose by protecting against voltage
fluctuations and run much cooler.
Exclusive FloSteer Technology
FloSteer LogoUV is not simply a ‘lamp inside a pipe’. The UV reactor must be designed
to ensure that all microbes receive sufficient exposure to the UV light (dose).
Some reactors are subject to short circuiting, a phenomenon where microbes pass
through the reactor without receiving an adequate dose. Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD), the same modeling process used to optimize airplane and racecar designs for
air flow, has been harnessed by First Drink Water to design from ground up an effective and
efficient UV reactor.
Based on the hydraulic properties of water, the reactor has been greatly optimized
to guide the flow in a manner so as to maximize residence time and boost turbulence.
The figure alongside illustrates a CFD-modeled reactor. Each coloured strand represents
the path of an individual particle through the reactor. The colour changes from
blue to red as the retention time and UV dose increases.
Compact and Efficient
Simple to install in space restricted areas, First Drink Water HiFlo systems consume less space,
cost less to operate, and perform more efficiently than any other comparable UV
product. Extremely Precise UV Intensity Monitor Our new and innovative, fully calibrated
UV sensor is encapsulated in a robust stainless steel housing that locks the sensor
in place. This unique design completely eliminates sensor movement and allows sensor
change-outs without opening or stopping the system.
