Class A UV LED Water Purification
Reasons why Aegina is Safe to use
Aegina has been designed ensuring that all aspects of safety have been considered. The device is manufactured in the UK to the highest standards and has been tested independently to ensure your safety. Aegina is the only UV LED water purification unit that delivers to NSF 55 Class A standard.
Class ‘A’ The highest Quality …
Class A systems are superior as they produce a much higher level of purification whilst using water that is of lower quality than drinking water.
To pass the Class A test our system proved that it used “ultraviolet light to inactivate or kill bacteria, viruses and cysts in contaminated water” whereas the Class B system will only “reduce the amount of non-disease-causing bacteria in disinfected drinking water”.
Class A
Class A POE and POU systems covered by this Standard are designed to be used for treating microbiologically unsafe water, but do not reduce chemical or inert particulate contaminants. Systems covered in this Standard are designed to inactivate microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, Cryptosporidiumoocysts, and Giardia cysts, from water. Systems covered by this Standard are not intended for the treatment of water that has an obvious contamination or intentional source, such as raw sewage, nor are systems intended to convert wastewater to drinking water. The systems are intended to be installed on visually clear water (not colored, cloudy, or turbid). Systems with manufacturer claims that include components or functions covered under other NSF or NSF/ANSI Standards or Criteria shall conform to the applicable requirements therein.”
Class B
Class B POE and POU systems covered by this Standard are designed to be used for supplemental bactericidal treatment for the inactivation of microorganisms that may be present in drinking water(public or private) considered to be microbiologically safe and of known quality. Systems covered under this Standard are intended to inactivate normally occurring nonpathogenic nuisance microorganisms only.
Description from NSF ANSI 55 2019
“This Standard covers UV microbiological water treatment systems and components for point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE) applications. This Standard covers systems which use UV radiation within the range of 240 nm to 300 nm inclusive. Systems are intended to be used under the following specific conditions.”

Safe from Pathogens
Safe from germs
Aegina has been scientifically proven to kill even the toughest of germs including Clostridium difficile, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and a whole lot more. The Ultraviolet LED light quickly damages the delicate shape of the proteins in the cell walls of the pathogens which render them harmless.
What are Pathogens?
Pathogens are microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses algae and parasites that can cause disease. Pathogens can survive in all kinds of environments and can live in lakes, ponds, rivers and even in water tanks. They have been responsible for illness and even death.
100% Safe
Aegina is designed to put safety first. We have ensured that any tampering of the device would cause the unit to disable so the user will not be exposed to the UV light.
UV light can be very damaging to human cells including the eyes and skin so we have ensured that there will be no exposure to humans, only the water in the device, so it is 100% safe to use.
Ultraviolet Technology has been around for many years as a water disinfection process and is one of the fastest growing water treatment methods. However, older treatment methods of producing the UV light using mercury lamps are expensive to run and bad for the environment.
