The Upstream and the Hallett systems, manufactured by UV Pure Technologies,
are the world’s only ultraviolet water purification device with patented Crossfire
Technology.

UV Pure’s Upstream UV systems employ revolutionary Crossfire Technology that
is self-cleaning, self-monitoring, and fail-safe. The
Upstream®
system design
with
Crossfire Technology®
eliminates the potential risks associated with
conventional single lamp UV systems.
Committed to exceeding drinking water purification standards, UV Pure has
turned conventional technology inside-out by running the water inside the quartz
sleeve and including two lamps mounted in air, dual smart sensors, elliptical
reflectors and an optional fail-safe solenoid valve.
Crossfire Technology is complete UV disinfection:
Crossfire Technology
incorporates
two
proprietary high-output UV lamps, with elliptical reflectors, that
target pathogens with radiation from 360º, to deactivate pathogens and provide
microbiologically safe drinking water.
Crossfire Technology is engineered to be risk-free and fail-safe:
Crossfire
Technology uses dual smart UV sensors mounted in air, which are designed to
not foul and are more reliable indicators of system performance than ordinary
systems. The lamps are fan-cooled and maintain consistent levels of UV output
for maximum pathogen deactivation. Computerized alarms and an optional auto
shut-off fail-safe valve are designed so that only safe water can enter your water
system. Each system shipped to the North American market is supplied with a
Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS)/Surge Protective Device (SPD) that
has been certified to the UL 1449 standard by an NRTL/C and includes integral
Over/Under Voltage shutoff protection.
Crossfire Technology is self-cleaning:
Crossfire Technology uses a stainless
steel wiper to clean the inside of the quartz sleeve eliminating quartz fouling and
the need for a water softener making abrasive quartz cleaning a thing of the past
– saving money and the environment.
Crossfire Technology is virtually maintenance-free:
Crossfire technology
utilizes two lamps mounted in air, outside the quartz sleeve so maintaining an
Upstream is as easy as changing a light bulb with no system draining required.
The UV lamps require replacement after 12 months of operation and notification
of lamp replacement is given via a warning one month in advance.
Crossfire Technology is easy to install:
Crossfire technology employs flexible
stainless steel hoses with Female Iron Pipe (FIP) connections for quick and
simple installation.
