Apparatus for treating microbiologically polluted waters, particularly waters containing agents of the genus Legionella, through UV-radiation.

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for treating microbially polluted waters by UV radiation, in particular waters containing a pathogen of the genus Legionella, which apparatus has a vessel receiving water and a UV source (lamp) acting on the water. By means of the invention an apparatus is to be created in which the UV source and thus ultimately the entire apparatus can be operated more gently and economically. This is achieved by the UV source (17) being dimmable by means of a choke (35) connected thereto.
