5000 Litres Per Hour (LPH) UV System
Ultra Violet (UV) light has proved to be very effective in destroying harmful bacteria and viruses in water. UV filtration provides a safe and simple way to ensure your drinking water is of high quality.
The Wonder Light comes with the ballast in a protective case and so can be installed outdoors.
Please note that the construction time on UV systems is 2 to 3 working days, from when payment is received.
Filter System includes:
- Dual Stainless Steel Bracket with 6 x 20" Big Blue Housings
- Select Pre Filter Cartridges
- 5000LPH Stainless Steel UV Light (EB-24 / 85watt) with Ballast
- Big Housing Spanner
Benefits:
The UV light kills harmful micro-organisms in the water
Filtered water tastes and smells great
Promotes a healthy lifestyle
Preserve the natural minerals in the water
Removes impurities and chemicals such as Chlorine
No water wasted during filtration
Makes use of your existing plumbing and taps
Large filtration capacity
Does not require weekly maintenance
Keep in mind:
The system requires a source of electricity to operate.
We strongly recommend installing a Surge protecter on the UV light's plug, to prevent damage due to lightning strikes or power surges. Please keep in mind that the UV light's warranty does not cover damage due to lightning or power surges.
We strongly recommend installing a pressure protect valve before the system to prevent damage due to high pressure or pressure spikes.
You will require special plumbing knowledge and experience to install the system successfully.
The water needs to be filtered before it enters the UV chamber..
Both the Sediment and the Carbon Filters need to be replaced every 6 months to maintain a high-quality water output.
This system contains fragile parts that need to be installed and handled with care.
Minerals and pesticides are too small to be removed by the filters in the UV filtration system. Should this be a concern, consider installing the Home Reverse Osmosis System.
You may need to install a restrictor valve to set the source water flow rate to the capacity of your particular UV Filtration System.
Since the transformer is an electrical device, take care to ensure that it is protected from moisture to prevent an electrical shortage.
The Ultraviolet Light bulb needs replacement once a year. Even though it may still appear to function well after this period, it will start to become less effective at killing bacteria and other micro-organisms.
The Filter housings have a maximum operating pressure of 90 psi. If you suspect that your water pressure will at any time exceed 80 psi, a pressure regulator MUST BE INSTALLED before the filter housing. This action will guard against the water pressure exceeding the maximum pressure rating. It is recommended that the pressure regulator is set at 70 psi or less.
Protect the filter housing from freezing, as this can cause the housing to crack.

Additional Options
Optional Inlet and Outlet Pressure Gauges
Inlet Pressure Gauge allows you to monitor the pressure of the incoming source water Pressure. This will give you an indication of your water pressure is above the 6 bar maximum rating for the housings, in which case you can then install a pressure regulating valve before the filter system.
The Inlet Pressure gauge will also help to indicate whether the incoming source water pressure is too low, in which case a pressure pump can be added before the filter system.
Using an Outlet Pressure Gauge in combination with the inlet pressure gauge will give you an indication of the change in pressure (pressure “drop”) from before to after the filter system.
This will also allow you to see if and when the filters are starting to block up, indicated by a big change between the inlet and outlet pressure levels. Assisting you in knowing when to replace the filter cartridges inside.
Please note that pressure gauges are built to order, construction time is 2 to 3 working days.
PVC Threaded and Glue Fittings
PVC(Polyvinyl chloride) fittings are used to connect sections of pipes or tubes, adapt to different sizes or shapes, and controlling the flow of water. There are two predominant types of PVC fittings namely PVC Glue Fittings and PVC Threaded Fittings. The difference between the two is that PVC Glue Fittings result in permanent joints and PVC Threaded Fittings are semi-permanent and can be replaced. PVC Glue fittings are joined with primer and cement- a chemical solvent that melts the surface of the PVC and then quickly re-hardens to fuse the pieces together. This results in an airtight, leak-proof bond similar to what you get with welding metal. An example of such a fitting is a PVC Glue Reducing Socket which is used to join together two pieces of PVC pipes with different diameters. Another example would be a 90 Degree Elbow which is used to connect two pipes of the same diameter at an angle of 90 degrees.PVC Threaded fittings utilise a simple threaded connection whereby replaceable 'male threaded' are screwed into 'female threaded'.Male threads have a thread on the outside of the fitting and female threads have a thread on the inside. When you thread the fitting in, it compresses against the other threads.PTFE tape is used to thread these together and the proper way to assemble threaded fittings is to finger tighten, then add one to two turns but no more. An example of a threaded fitting is a Reducing Nipple Male Threaded which is used to connect between two female threads of different diameters.
