💧 Understanding UV Water Purification

Water quality can change overnight — especially in the Caribbean, where heavy rainfall, old pipelines, and surface contamination can affect every home and business. Wilco UV Water Systems provide powerful, chemical-free purification that destroys 99.99% of harmful microorganisms, including E. coli, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium.

Ultraviolet (UV) light, found naturally in sunlight, is used at a precise wavelength (254 nm) to deactivate bacteria and viruses by breaking their DNA so they can no longer reproduce. The result: safe, fresh-tasting water without adding chlorine or altering flavor, odor, or color.

Each Wilco system combines advanced sediment and carbon filtration with high-intensity UV treatment, ensuring your entire water supply — from tank to tap — meets the highest standards of safety.

Engineered for Caribbean conditions, Wilco UV is trusted by homes, hotels, farms, and industries across the region. Reliable, eco-friendly, and easy to maintain, it’s the modern way to protect your family and community.
