UV is not a filter as such, it is a cylinder with a special light to kill bacteria. RO is a Reverse Osmosis unit which usually has 4 filters and a membrane which traps extremely tiny particles.

Which filter is good for drinking water. ro or uv?
RO (Reverse Osmosis) is the best water filter system. Aquafresh capita (Domestic & Industrial RO & UV Manufacturer) http://www.aquafreshcapita.com +919388968897 UV, or ultraviolet, water purification is a technique used to purify water to make it suitable to drink. This is done by using ultraviolet radiation, which is a type of high-energy light, to inactivate bacteria and disease causing agents within the water. UV water filters feature a special lamp that gives off the UV rays and directs the wavelengths so that they thoroughly cleanse the water. Reverse osmosis (RO) is water treatment system in which almost all water impurities are removed through reverse osmosis membrane. Reverse osmosis systems work by using pressure to force water through a semi-permeable membrane of pore size 0.0001 microns,. The RO is suitable for almost all areas where water impurities are reported. RO can reduce the physical impurities, biological impurities, dissolved salts, pesticides, chemical impurities and heavy metals. Aquafreshcapita, Cochin, Kerala gives best water filters. http://www.aquafreshcapita.com
Do uv rays benefit anything?
The UV rays do benefit us. They are used in water filters.
What are differences between RO- water filter and and UV- water filter?
UV System : (Ultraviolet Purification System) is extremely effective in killing many species of bacteria, mold spores, viruses and other micro-organisms. RO Water Purifier based on Mineral RO™ technology which remove even dissolved impurities while retaining essential minerals and offers double purification of bacteria & viruses UV, or ultraviolet, water purification is a technique used to purify water to make it suitable to drink.

Is the reverse osmosis a better technique than uv based water purification when you have to treat hard ground water?
I retired from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality 4 years ago and now work for Southwest Engineers. We specialize in treating community water for public supplies. We design and oversee construction of water and wastewater plants. RO removes molecular size particles that normally are responsible for hard water. Water that has calcium carbonate and other minerals such as iron that make water hard. UV does not remove anything. It does inactivate pathogens that make them harmless to ingest. The RO will remove particles that can block the UV rays. If the water is cloudy, then it may be a good idea to pretreat the water with direct filtration or RO. The direct filtration is less expensive and requires less expertise to operate. Home improvement stores sell these filters along with Culligan and others.
Where is a great store to buy a new uv filter?
A lot of stores offer UV protection filters. Sites such as Amazon and Bestbuy offer a variety of UV protection filters for a camera. Ebay also offers UV filters for sale.
Which gas filters out the UV rays from the solar radiation?
Ozone filters out the UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.
What is the name of the equipment for purifying water called?
Depends some people use brita filters. And other use an RO . RO stands for reverse osmosis which I think is the most efficient way to purify the water
Does the ozone layer filter UV radiation?
Yes, it is the only thing. It filters the UV.
Atmosphere contains ozone that filters UV radiation?
Yes.
What atmosphere filters out 95 percent of UV radiation?
The ozone layer in the Earth's stratosphere filters out about 95 percent of UV radiation from the sun. However, it is important to note that some UV radiation still reaches the Earth's surface, especially in areas where the ozone layer is depleted.
What is it that water can pass easily through its holes but solid particles cannot?
Filters allow passage of water but not solid particles. Simple fabric/carbon water filters that attach to a faucet or are part of a sink-side filtering pitcher are examples. But there are also filters called reverse osmosis filters, part of an RO system, that block not only solid particles but also bacteria, microorganisms, and even single molecules of the heavier organics. The RO filter, with pores on the order of two ten-millionths of an inch, can even block dissolved impurities, such as mineral salts, even though they may be smaller than the water molecules themselves.
What are the useful effects of ultraviolet rays of the sun?
Useful effects of UV are also there. Filters, locks etc use UV.
