We're the only company in the world to go so far in water filtration without any filters or consumables.ย
Light has an extraordinary power that manifests itself in nature.
Did you know that it can purify our environment?
Its ability to interact with molecules enables it to break down harmful substances and eliminate impurities.
At LaVie, light is our ally in the fight against undesirable molecules ๐คบ
There are several types of UV rays emitted by the Sun: UV-A, UV-B and UV-C, each with their own characteristics. UV-A rays are considered to be the most powerful in terms of purification, as they can degrade undesirable substances, oxidising them and breaking them down into simpler, less harmful compounds.
UV-B and UV-C rays are more energetic, but less purifying. That said, UV-C rays are very often used to disinfect polluted water loaded with bacteria and viruses.
Photolysis of chlorine is a chemical process that occurs when chlorine is exposed to sunlight, UV-A rays. The chlorine molecule then breaks down into atoms (oxygen, hydrogen and chloride).
These atoms are highly reactive and can react with the organic pollutants present in water. By reacting with these pollutants, the atoms break them down, helping to purify the water. In a way, our water purifiers transform chlorine into a kind of pollutant fighter, before making it disappear. ๐

UV disinfection uses UV-C rays, not the UV-A rays used by our purifiers. These UV-C rays are useless on drinking water, which by definition does not need to be disinfected. It already is! ๐ It's the quality that can be improved.
Chlorine, whose molecule is written HOCL or OCL, is transformed by UV-A photolysis. Once its molecule has been broken down, what remains is :
- Chlorides (Cl from table salt and mineral water, drunk with total immunity)
- Hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O), which recombine to form water, H2O
No gas or chlorine (Cl2) is generated.
When the bond between the molecules of pesticides and medicines is broken, free radicals are released, with an average lifespan of around 10 nanoseconds, after which they recombine into chlorides or H2O.
It takes several seconds to remove the bottle and drink the water.
This means that no radicals can reach the body.
