Harmful bacteria in drinking water have become an increasing concern, particularly in-built environments where pathogens can thrive in complex plumbing systems. Waterborne bacteria, such as Legionella, often hide in the nooks and crannies of pipework, posing a serious public health hazard. In Europe, Legionnaires’ disease cases rose by 60% over two years up to 2018, highlighting the urgent need for more effective pathogen control solutions.
The OASIS® QUASAR UVC-LED Water Treatment System
The OASIS QUASAR UVC-LED Water Disinfection System is engineered to protect users from Legionella and other harmful waterborne pathogens. By treating water directly at the point of dispense, QUASAR uses Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to generate UV photons that target and neutralise bacteria and viruses in seconds.
OASIS’s Quasar is unique, as it is the industry’s only UVC-LED system that work directly at the point-of-dispense.
This means that there is no more remaining length of piping that can harbour bacteria or pathogens to infect the water. As an added bonus the UVC-LED disinfects the spout are [the exact dispense point]
UV represents wavelengths that fall between visible light and x-ray on the electromagnetic spectrum. UV photons penetrate harmful microscopic organisms and damage the DNA, rendering them incapable of reproduction. (microbiologically dead)
UV-LED technology is used to biologically destroy harmful bacteria and viruses, without the use of chemicals or mercury-based lamps. The UVC-LEDs allow for instant full- intensity power, unlimited cycling, remote start/stop, and no heat transfer to the water.
Disinfection Where It Matters Most
Unlike conventional systems, OASIS QUASAR is the only UVC-LED technology that works directly at the dispensing point. This ensures there is no pipe length beyond the treatment point where bacteria can accumulate. The UVC-LED module also disinfects the spout area, guaranteeing safe water delivery.
Key Benefits of QUASAR UVC-LED Technology
While both conventional UV and LED systems are superior to chemical treatments, UVC-LED disinfection is safer, more efficient, and better for the environment:
OASIS QUASAR represents a cutting-edge solution for safe, clean, and sustainable drinking water, helping to address the growing risk of Legionella outbreaks in Europe and beyond. source: European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
