questions
Note:
Can I use the Philips Pure Water Dispenser on
well/bore water?
Yes. The Pure Water Dispenser was designed for
use on potable (drinkable) water sources such as
municipal water or potable well/bore water. It is
not intended for use on lake, river, sewage water
or other untreated water. We recommend that
you have your water tested regularly, if you use
well/bore water.
Can treated water be stored?
Yes. To prevent treated water from becoming
contaminated, store in a clean container with a
tight-fitting lid. If properly refrigerated in an airtight
container, treated water may be stored for up to
48 hours.
Can ultraviolet light make the water radioactive?
No. While the water in the Pure Water Dispenser
is exposed to ultraviolet light, ultraviolet light is
not radioactive. Therefore, it is impossible for the
water to become radioactive.
Does the Philips Pure Water Dispenser change
the taste of water?
The taste of water depends on what's in the
water. The Pure Water Dispenser removes many
substances such as particulates, chlorine, thus
improving the taste, odour, and clarity of water.
What is so special about the UV lamp?
Ultraviolet light is an effective way to destroy
micro-organisms without the use of chemicals. The
UV lamp produces light in a specific wavelength
that is destructive to micro-organisms. The light
has to be the right intensity and the water must
be exposed to the light for a specific amount of
time to properly dose the water.
