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.
