goodguards® ZAPFGUARD

The Zapfguard 3-way faucet offers maximum effectiveness in water disinfection. With a water flow rate of 2 liters per minute, up to 99.9999% of E. coli bacteria can be neutralized. The integrated UVC-LEDs have an impressive lifespan of up to 10,000 hours. In addition to standard hot and cold water connections, the faucet has a separate channel for filtered drinking water, which is disinfected by the UVC unit inside. A significant advantage is the strict separation of drinking and utility water through two different channels and aerators. The spout is also 360-degree swivel for maximum convenience.

Highly Effective Water Disinfection in Detail

The goodguards® Keimguard relies on state-of-the-art physical disinfection using specialized UVC-LEDs. With a precise wavelength of 265 nm, the system highly efficiently inactivates microorganisms by specifically damaging the DNA and RNA of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa and preventing their reproduction.

This specific wavelength is exactly within the absorption maximum range of nucleic acids, maximizing disinfection performance compared to conventional methods. The process is purely physical and completely avoids the use of chemicals. This preserves the natural composition and unadulterated taste of your water at all times – freshwater disinfection with UVC-LED technology directly in the faucet, safety with every sip.
