UV light is split into 4 main categories, UVA, UVB, UVC and Vacuum UV. The UV spectrum (200-280 nanometers) is the most lethal range of wavelengths for micro-organisms. This range, with 254 nanometers being the peak germicidal wavelength is known as the germicidal spectrum. UV-C light has the ability to cause permanent damage to a wide variety of nuisance micro-organisms in water by breaking their cell wall and disrupting their DNA.
