UV sterilisers that disinfect without chemicals.
SovSafe sterilisers use ultraviolet light to inactivate bacteria and viruses as water flows past. Nothing is added, so taste and minerals stay the same. Choose a whole-site unit or a compact one for a single outlet, installed by our team in Saudi Arabia.
Whole site or a single outlet.
Choose by where the water needs protecting. UV works best on filtered water, so every system starts with the right pre-filter.
Point of entry
A stainless-steel steriliser on the main supply for large homes, villas, boutique hotels and cafes. Ideal after storage tanks.
- Up to 5.4 m3/h
- 1.5" connection
- Stainless chamber, quartz sleeve
- 9,000-hour lamp, about one change a year
Point of use
A compact unit that fits inside a sink cabinet, for under-sink filters, water dispensers and vending machines.
- 0.22 m3/h (60 GPH)
- 30 mJ/cm2 dose at 254 nm
- 270 × 52 × 90 mm, 1.3 kg
- Draws 10 W
Filter plus UV
UV needs clear water, as particles can shade microbes from the light. We fit the right filter before the steriliser.
- Mechanical pre-filtration first
- Chlorine taste removed with carbon
- UV as the final barrier
- One team to install and service
Two sterilisers, whole site to single tap.
Both SovSafe models, side by side.

Light that stops microbes from multiplying.
UV-C light damages the DNA of bacteria and viruses, so they cannot reproduce. It is a physical process: nothing goes into the water.
Filter first
Pre-filtrationWater passes a mechanical filter before the steriliser. Clear water lets the light reach every microbe.
- Sediment and particles
- Cloudiness that shades microbes
- Chlorine taste (with carbon)
Why it matters: Pre-filtration is required for UV to work as designed.
UV chamber
UV-C at 254 nmWater flows through a stainless chamber around a lamp in a quartz sleeve, receiving a measured dose of UV-C.
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Up to 99.9% at the DNA level
Why it matters: It disinfects without chemicals, so taste and minerals are unchanged.
Keep it working
Annual serviceLamps lose strength with use, so they are changed at around 9,000 hours, about once a year.
- Lamp hours
- Quartz sleeve clean and clear
- Pre-filter condition
Why it matters: A tired lamp or dirty sleeve lowers the dose.
UV does not remove hardness, chlorine or particles. It is the final barrier after filtration, not a replacement for it.
Safer water, nothing added.
Chemical-free

SovSafe in Saudi Arabia
Riyadh's desalinated share travels roughly 450 to 470 km inland before it reaches the city, then often waits in a roof tank through the summer. A Saudi Water Authority study links longer transport and higher temperatures to some quality excursions.
A SovSafe UV steriliser deals with that at the building. The SW24 treats a whole villa or compound block, and the SW60 sits inside a sink cabinet to guard a single dispenser. Each one runs behind a pre-filter, with a yearly lamp change.
Common questions
Why fit UV in a Saudi home?
Because water can change between the plant and your tap. Long pipelines, roof tanks and summer heat all play a part. UV inactivates bacteria and viruses as the water flows past.
Does UV soften the water?
No. UV disinfects but does not touch hardness. On a groundwater blend such as Riyadh's, a Regal softener or RO unit handles the scale, and UV goes after it.
Where does the UV unit go in a Saudi building?
After the roof tank and pump, behind a pre-filter. The SW24 treats the whole supply, and the SW60 sits at a single drinking tap or dispenser.
Supplied, installed and serviced in Saudi Arabia
Saudi supply is a mix of desalinated water and groundwater. Where groundwater is blended in, as in Riyadh, the water can be hard enough to scale heaters and machines, so we check your supply before choosing a system.
Tell us your city, whether the site is on mains or tanker water, and what the system is for. We specify it, quote in riyals and install it.
