PURA High Performance Drinking Water System
Pura Water Filters
A Pura water filtration system combines advanced UV technology and high-quality filters to give you clear, great-tasting water. Ultraviolet light inactivates bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms as water flows through a protective quartz sleeve, while sediment and carbon stages improve taste and clarity.
Because the system runs under pressure and uses no chemicals or heat, it’s a safe, effective way to protect water quality in your home or business.
How a Pura Water System Purifies Water
Pura water systems use a powerful two-step process to ensure your water is safe and clean. It combines filtration with ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection.
Step 1: Advanced Filtration
First, your water flows through a series of sediment and carbon filters. These initial filters are designed to:
- Remove physical particles like sand, silt, and rust.
- Reduce chemicals like chlorine.
- Eliminate unpleasant tastes and odors.
This step clears the water of debris, making it look, taste, and smell better.
Step 2: UV Disinfection
After being filtered, the water enters a chamber containing a powerful UV lamp housed in a quartz sleeve. This UV light acts as a potent germicide, instantly neutralizing harmful microorganisms by scrambling their DNA. It effectively targets:
- Bacteria (like E. coli)
- Viruses
- Other pathogens
Crucially, the filtration in Step 1 ensures the water is clear, allowing the UV light to penetrate fully and do its job effectively. The entire process purifies your water without adding any chemicals or altering its natural taste. The result is microbiologically safe, great-tasting water for your home, office, or business.
Pura Filters and UV Units for Every Application
Pura water filters and UV systems serve a variety of uses where clean water is essential:
- Disinfection for private wells or surface water
- Whole-house UV treatment for city or well supplies
- Supplemental protection for food service or small business settings
- Inline UV disinfection after reverse osmosis systems or storage tanks
With flow capacities ranging from 1 to 15 gallons per minute, Pura water systems adapt to kitchens, bathrooms, or entire buildings.
Choosing the Right Pura Water Filtration System
Selecting the proper model ensures lasting protection and smooth water flow. Consider:
-
Daily water use:
Single sinks or beverage stations often suit UV1 or UVB units; multi-bath homes may require UV20 or UVBB models.
-
Water source:
Private wells may need more filtration and higher UV dosage than municipal water.
-
Coverage area:
Point-of-use systems treat one fixture, while whole-house systems protect every outlet.
-
Pre-filtration needs:
If sediment or color is present, cartridge filters keep the UV lamp clear and effective.
-
Required flow rate:
Small setups run at 1-3 GPM; whole-home systems work best at 8–15 GPM.
Besco’s experienced team will test your water, recommend the right system, and design any necessary pretreatment so your Pura unit performs at its best.

FAQs About Pura Water Filtration
How often should I replace parts?
Most homeowners change the UV lamp once per year and replace filters or sleeves as needed, depending on sediment and chlorine levels.
Can Pura systems remove chemicals or heavy metals?
UV light disinfects but does not remove chemicals or metals. Multi-stage Pura filters include carbon or sediment cartridges to address these concerns before UV treatment.
Do I need pre-filtration with a Pura UV system?
Yes. Water must be clear enough for UV light to pass through. Sediment and carbon filters ensure optimal performance.
