HW Lifeshower® UV-C

The HW Lifeshower® UV-C is an innovative UV-C shower unit. The HW Lifeshower® disinfects the water directly at the tap point, effectively eliminating harmful bio-organisms. This prevents the formation of biofilm and reduces the risk of legionella in your shower systems.

Advanced UV-C technology for sustainable water purification

The HW Lifeshower® UV-C is an innovative shower unit that provides optimal protection against legionella. Instead of keeping the entire piping system free from contamination, the HW Lifeshower offers a solution directly at the aerosol-forming outlet. This advanced technology disinfects the water at the outlet, resulting in a completely safe and cost-effective approach in the fight against legionella.

How does UV‑C work?

Through exposure to ultraviolet light, (legionella) bacteria and other microorganisms in the incoming mains water are immediately killed at the entry point. This significantly reduces the risk of legionella colonizing the downstream water installation.

UV-C breaks down the DNA of microorganisms and thus destroys their genetic properties, preventing the organisms from reproducing and causing them to die off. This limits the growth of biofilm in the water installation, thereby depriving, among others, the legionella bacteria of the main breeding ground for (large-scale) colonization.

Moreover, ultraviolet light does not alter the composition of the water, has no effect on the color, odor, or taste of the water, and is free from chemicals.

More about UV-C

In which situations can HW Lifeshower be applied?

The HW Lifeshower UV-C can be used in the Netherlands for preventive management purposes in both priority and duty of care buildings, for example in office buildings or industrial complexes where only a few nebulized tapping points are present.

HW Lifeshower UV-C has been developed in accordance with the BRL K14010/01 guideline for physical techniques.

What is the difference between UV and UV‑C?

Ultraviolet (UV) light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that lies outside the visible light spectrum. It is divided into three categories: UV‑A, UV‑B and UV‑C, based on wavelength. UV‑C is specifically used for water disinfection because it effectively inactivates microorganisms such as Legionella.

UV‑C radiation disrupts the DNA of bacteria, preventing them from multiplying and thereby reducing the risk of contamination in drinking water systems.

Effective point-of-use method

HW Lifeshower UV-C can be used as a point-of-use UV-C system, for example in office buildings or industrial complexes where only a few nebulized outlets are present.

HW Uvidis treats the incoming drinking water by exposing 100% of the flow to ultraviolet light. The system contains UV-C lamps that – controlled by the HW Tech Control unit – are intelligently managed to optimize lifespan and reliability.
