Each system is designed for specific needs. Below is a summary of these systems:

• WSC4 200W UV 4- Filter System
  Designed and tested for rain and ground water (bore, lake and stream). The 4 filters, a 20 micron pleated paper for broken down leaf matter, heavy sands and sediment, 5 micron pleated paper minor sands and sediment, 5 micron coconut shell carbon for taste, smell, discolouration and chemicals that may get in the water like for example roundup off the roof. Then a 1 Micron melt blown filter for small floating matter. All designed to perfectly clean the water. Then an off set dual 100 watt UV steriliser for the bacteria like Giardia and Cryptosporidium. This is a light commercial system for very large houses, food manufacturers, breweries, clinics, hospitals and schools etc.
  
• (WSR3) 80W UV 3-Filter System):
  Designed and tested for rain and ground water (bore, lake and stream). The 3 filters, a 5 micron pleated paper for sands, sediment and broken down leaf removal a 5 micron coconut shell carbon for taste, smell, discolouration and chemicals that may get in the water like for example roundup off the roof. Then a 1 Micron melt blown filter for small floating matter. All designed to perfectly clean the water. Then an off set UV steriliser for the bacteria like Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Our most popular system with over 5000 in homes around New Zealand. Ideal for medium to large houses or properties with known water issues.
  
• (WSR2) 40W UV 2-Filter System: Designed and tested for rain water. The 2 filters, a 5 micron pleated paper for sands, sediment and broken down leaf removal a 1 micron melt blown filter for small floating matter.
  Then an off set UV sterilizer for the bacteria like Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
  This system is designed for smaller houses with no perceived water issues.
  
• (WSBS) 80W UV 1-Filter System:
  Onsite grey water secondary Treated Septic Tank Discharge: Uses a coarse 50 micron pleated paper filter with a high-output 95W lamp; ensures safe water discharge into streams or gardens.

Provided you have sufficiently lubricated the sump threads and the sump orings, to change a set of filters is less the 5 minutes.

If not lubricated the sumps can be difficult to remove. This can happen when the pump is an older style that creates a pressure thump when it kicks in. This gradually tightens the sumps. Shop the filters available online.

Depends on the quality of the water going in, normally 6 to 9 months, but can remain 'unplugged' for longer. Longer is not necessarily better, as the cartridges can become their own source of bacteria.

If you get into the habit of changing the cartridges every 6 months, then at 12 months when you change the lamp, you are also on schedule to change the cartridges.

Yes, it comes with a full instruction manual, however we do advise that you have it checked and signed off by a registered master plumber.

We offer a variety of systems tailored for different applications, and according to plumbers, ours is the only truly 'outside compatible' option available.

Our systems feature an all-weather impervious alloy cover, ensuring durability. Additionally, the power supply is fully encased within its waterproof box, preventing moisture infiltration. We use Gel-filled ballasts to isolate the circuitry effectively.

Moreover, our systems come with added protection, including surge protectors and RCBOs. These features not only prevent electrical damage but also assist in identifying faults.

Yes, it has a UV lamp to kill the bacteria, which requires input voltage of between 110 to 240 volts, which is stepped up by the ballast to over 400 volts.

The lamps have a lifespan of 12 to 18 months, depending on the ballast specifications. Our digital countdown ballasts display the remaining days of lamp life, starting from 365 days for a one-year lamp life. It's important to note that although a lamp might continue glowing beyond the ballast's limit, its effectiveness diminishes with age. So, don't be deceived by its glow; you may not be as safe as you think.

When replacing the lamp, ensure to remove the quartz sleeve and clean it thoroughly. Also, replace the seals with new ones to maintain optimal performance.

Depending on its location, the system should provide a minimum of 20 years of service. It's essential to understand the three component groups:

1. Consumables: Includes seals and lamp cartridges, typically replaced every 6 to 12 months.
2. Replaceables: Involves items like quartz sleeves, filter o-rings, power supply, and jumbo filters, which are typically replaced every 3 to 10 years.
3. Durables: Long-lasting components such as backing boards, covers, chambers, brackets, and pipe fittings, designed to last up to 20 years.

Each component group plays a vital role in the system's functionality and longevity.

Installation time varies from 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the pump and power placement. The process is straightforward:

1. Mount it
2. Pipe it
3. Plug in

Following these three steps ensures a quick and hassle-free installation process.

Depending on where the system is to be installed and the type of connection piping used, it can be from as little as $250+GST.

Less than a heated towel rail - 40 to 80 watts.

Place the unit externally near the pump, which already has a convenient power supply. Opt for a south-facing location, avoiding direct northern sun exposure. Mount it on two 3x4 posts near the water tanks, attaching horizontal rails for support. Alternatively, consider installing it under the house or in a garage, taking precautions against water spillage during servicing.

For ease of maintenance, position the system at eye level. This ensures easier servicing, especially since the jumbo filters can be heavy when filled with water.
