Why this system
When it makes sense
Use after filtration and any needed softening. Feed water must have turbidity below 1 NTU, hardness below 7 gpg, iron below 0.3 mg/L, manganese below 0.05 mg/L and UV transmittance above 75%.
UV does not remove iron, hardness, sediment or dissolved chemicals. It provides no lasting disinfectant residual. Confirm that it suits the organisms and conditions identified by your well test.

Add a disinfection stage when your water treatment plan calls for one. This Crystal Quest UV chamber helps inactivate susceptible microorganisms as properly pretreated water passes the lamp. It is rated for a maximum of 12 GPM; UV does not remove hardness, iron, sediment or dissolved chemicals.
Know before choosing: Effective operation depends on feed-water clarity and the manufacturer's limits for hardness, iron, manganese and UV transmission. Arrange suitable pretreatment, electricity, lamp replacement and quartz-sleeve care with your installer.
