Quick Answer
The Alpha UV Residential UV Disinfection System is a compact Philips UV-C system for household drinking water, sized from 100 to 500 LPH, delivering the WHO-standard 40 mJ/cm² UV dose for 4-log inactivation of E. coli, Salmonella, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium — SS304 chamber, 6–11 W power consumption, under-sink installation.
Safe drinking water for homes and villas — no chemicals, no taste change
Alpha UV System residential units use Philips low-pressure TUV UV-C lamps to deliver 40 mJ/cm² — the WHO standard for 4-log (99.99%) inactivation of E. coli, Salmonella, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium. Unlike RO, UV wastes no water. Unlike chlorination, it adds no taste or residual. A typical 4-person home requires a 200–500 LPH unit, depending on peak flow demand. Our SS304 chambers are compact enough for under-sink installation and connect to standard ½" BSP fittings.

Every Alpha UV System reactor geometry is validated through CFD simulation using ANSYS Fluent. The analysis below shows velocity streamlines and UV dose distribution across the reactor cross-section, confirming that minimum dose targets are met across the entire chamber volume — not just at the chamber centreline.

Every Residential UV ships with genuine Philips UV-C lamps. Not unbranded Chinese alternatives. Philips lamps are rated 9,000–12,000 hours — more than double the life of typical Chinese OEM lamps. A serial number certificate of authenticity is included with every lamp.

A 200 LPH residential UV system treats up to 4,800 litres per day — sufficient for a typical 4-person household with peak flow demand. Larger 500 LPH units serve villas and joint families. Alpha UV sizes each system to your measured peak flow, not just headcount.
No. UV-C disinfects water using 254 nm light — it adds nothing to the water and imparts no taste, odour, or residual. Unlike chlorination, there are no disinfection byproducts. Unlike RO, UV does not remove essential minerals.
A 200 LPH Alpha UV residential unit runs on 11 watts — less than a standard LED bulb — costing approximately ₹77 per year to run continuously. This is far lower than RO (250–500 W) or UV+RO combined systems.
The Philips UV-C lamp is rated for 9,000 hours (~12 months of continuous use). Alpha UV residential units include a lamp-hours indicator; the annual replacement is user-serviceable and requires no professional visit.
