Why UV Sterilisation?
UV sterilisation neutralises bacteria, viruses, and protozoa (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium) without chemicals or by-products. It's the most effective way to ensure your drinking water is safe, particularly for tank or bore water supplies common across rural NZ.
Why Pre-Filtration Matters
Sediment and turbidity in the water can shield microorganisms from UV light, reducing disinfection effectiveness. The 2-stage pre-filter removes particles before water reaches the UV chamber, ensuring the lamp can do its job properly.
Annual Maintenance
Replace the UV lamp every 12 months regardless of appearance — UV output degrades over time even when the lamp still glows. Replace filter cartridges every 6–12 months depending on water quality. See our replacement lamps and replacement parts collections.
