UV Filtration

Chemical-Free Protection for Your Drinking Water

If you’re on a well or draw from a private water source, it’s important to ensure your water is free from harmful microorganisms. Ultraviolet (UV) filtration is one of the safest and most effective ways to disinfect your water—neutralizing bacteria, viruses, and parasites without adding chemicals.

At Binkley Plumbing, we install reliable, high-performance UV systems that protect your home and your health. Whether you’re setting up a new system or upgrading an older unit, we’ll size and install the right UV filter based on your water supply and flow rate.

What Does UV Filtration Remove?

UV light systems don’t “filter” particles—they sterilize your water by damaging the DNA of microorganisms, making them harmless. They’re ideal for:

• Bacteria like E. coli and coliform
• Viruses
• Parasites like Giardia and Cryptosporidium
• Other waterborne pathogens that may be present in untreated or shallow well water

UV systems do not affect the taste, odour, or clarity of your water—just its safety.

When Is a UV System Recommended?

UV water treatment is especially important if you:

• Use a private well or draw from a lake, spring, or cistern
• Have failed or borderline bacteria test results
• Want peace of mind when it comes to your family’s drinking water
• Are adding a final layer of protection to an existing softener or filtration system

Many rural homeowners in the Minto area choose UV filtration for extra confidence—especially when children, seniors, or immune-compromised individuals are in the home.

Key Features of Our UV Systems

We install Canadian-tested equipment that’s built for year-round performance:

UV & Pre-Filtration: A Winning Combo

UV light works best when the water is clear. That’s why we often pair UV systems with pre-filters that remove sediment, iron, or hardness—ensuring maximum effectiveness and reducing wear on the UV lamp.

If your water needs a softener or iron filter as well, we’ll recommend the ideal full setup.

Service, Lamp Replacement & Maintenance

Already have a UV system? We offer lamp replacements, sleeve cleanings, and flow checks to keep your system running safely and efficiently. Most UV lamps need to be replaced once per year for continued performance.
