This range spans compact 4LPM underbench sterilisers through to 604LPM whole house systems, covering both point of use and point of entry setups. Several units include pre-filtration and a designer faucet as standard, and an outdoor weather cover is available for housings installed outside. Flow rate is the key spec to match against your household or business water demand before choosing a system.

FAQs
What’s the difference between a whole house and an underbench UV system?
A whole house (point of entry) system treats all water entering the property at the mains or tank inlet, covering every tap and outlet. An underbench (point of use) system sits under a single sink and treats water at just that tap, typically for drinking water only.
How do I know what flow rate (LPM) I need?
Flow rate should match or exceed your peak simultaneous water demand, worked out from how many outlets could be running at once, such as showers, taps and appliances, rather than just household size. Checking the product spec sheet or getting a plumber to confirm demand is worth doing before choosing a system.
Do these systems need a pre-filter as well as the UV lamp?
Sediment and debris need to be filtered out before water reaches the UV lamp, since cloudy or dirty water can block UV light and reduce its effectiveness. Several systems here include pre-filtration built in, while others are supplied with the UV chamber only.
Can I install a UV system outdoors?
Only certain housings are rated for it. The weather cover in this range is built to protect outdoor-mounted housings from rain, sun exposure and temperature swings, so check whether your chosen system needs one before installing outside.
How often does the UV lamp need replacing?
Most UV lamps need replacing roughly every 9 to 12 months, since UV output drops over time even though the lamp keeps glowing and looks unchanged.
Do UV steriliser systems need a constant power supply?
Yes, they rely on continuous power to keep the lamp active. Rural properties prone to outages should factor this in, since water passing through during a power loss won’t be treated.
Will a UV system remove chlorine or improve water taste?
No, UV inactivates microorganisms but doesn’t affect chlorine, taste, or chemical content. Pairing a UV system with a carbon pre-filter is what handles taste and chlorine reduction.
