If your main concern is sediment, silt, and organic matter, it's a strong fit. If you also want chlorine or taste treatment, or if you're on town water, a different system would suit better — get in touch and we'll point you in the right direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Clarity II make rainwater safe to drink?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clarity II removes sediment and particulates.

Get in touch and we can help you put together the right setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the system use two sediment stages instead of one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting with a coarser 20 micron filter before a finer 1 micron filter is the most effective approach for tank water. The first stage catches the bulk of the debris and extends the life of the finer filter. Running a 1 micron filter alone on unfiltered tank water would clog it quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need to be installed before or after my pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clarity II is installed on the outlet side of your pump — after the pump, before the rest of the house.

That said, the Clarity II arrives fully assembled, uses standard 25mm BSP fittings, and mounts with the included hardware. If you're confident with household plumbing, the installation itself is straightforward.

Tank water with higher silt loads will shorten cartridge life — some properties need changes more frequently.

The Ultra II has a more powerful 48W UV chamber (vs 33W), a higher flow rate of 45 L\/min (vs 30 L\/min), and uses 20 inch jumbo cartridges for greater filter capacity and longer cartridge life. It's the better choice for larger households or higher-demand rural supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the flow switch do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flow switch detects when water is moving and activates the UV lamp. When flow stops — taps off, no demand — the lamp shuts off automatically. This prevents water sitting in a lit chamber warming up, reduces power consumption, and extends lamp life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Ultra II make my water safe to drink?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV chamber treats water against harmful micro-organisms without chemicals. Sediment filtration removes particulates. For drinking water confidence, we recommend ensuring your pre-filtration is maintained and cartridges are replaced on schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a plumber to install it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most customers, yes — a licensed plumber is the safest path and protects your warranty on the plumbing side. The Ultra II arrives fully assembled, uses standard 25mm BSP fittings, and plugs into a standard 240V outlet. If you're confident with household plumbing, the installation itself is straightforward. If you're not sure, get in touch and we'll help you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I replace the cartridges and UV lamp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUV lamp life varies depending on how much water you use — the more water flowing through the system, the sooner the lamp will need replacing. UV output degrades before the lamp visibly fails, so don't wait until it stops glowing. Cartridges should be replaced every 6–12 months depending on your water quality. Clean the quartz sleeve each time you change the lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need to clean the quartz sleeve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quartz sleeve surrounds the UV lamp inside the chamber. Scale or sediment build-up on the sleeve blocks UV light from reaching the water, reducing treatment effectiveness. A quick clean during each lamp change keeps the system working as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens when flow stops?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flow switch shuts the UV lamp off automatically when water stops moving. This prevents the water in the chamber from warming up and means the lamp isn't running unnecessarily between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need bypass valves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're not included, but they're worth adding. Bypass valves let you isolate the system during cartridge and lamp changes without shutting off water to the rest of the house.

When flow stops — taps off, no demand — the lamp shuts off automatically. This prevents water sitting in a lit chamber warming up, reduces power consumption, and extends lamp life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Pure III make my water safe to drink?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV chamber treats water against harmful micro-organisms without chemicals. Sediment and carbon filtration removes particulates and organic taste and odour. For drinking water confidence, we recommend ensuring your pre-filtration is maintained and cartridges are replaced on schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a plumber to install it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most customers, yes — a licensed plumber is the safest path and protects your warranty on the plumbing side. The Pure III arrives fully assembled, uses standard 25mm BSP fittings, and plugs into a standard 240V outlet. If you're confident with household plumbing, the installation itself is straightforward. If you're not sure, get in touch and we'll help you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I replace the cartridges and UV lamp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUV lamp life varies depending on how much water you use — the more water flowing through the system, the sooner the lamp will need replacing. UV output degrades before the lamp visibly fails, so don't wait until it stops glowing. Cartridges should be replaced every 6–12 months depending on your water quality. Clean the quartz sleeve each time you change the lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need to clean the quartz sleeve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quartz sleeve surrounds the UV lamp inside the chamber. Scale or sediment build-up on the sleeve blocks UV light from reaching the water, reducing treatment effectiveness. A quick clean during each lamp change keeps the system working as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens when flow stops?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flow switch shuts the UV lamp off automatically when water stops moving. This prevents the water in the chamber from warming up and means the lamp isn't running unnecessarily between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need bypass valves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're not included, but they're worth adding. Bypass valves let you isolate the system during cartridge and lamp changes without shutting off water to the rest of the house.

The AQS-S suits most homes — LED controller, straightforward, reliable. Step up to the AQS-XS for an LCD display, lamp key verification, and the option to add remote monitoring or a solenoid shut-off valve later. Choose a KAQS model if you're installing outdoors and want built-in weather protection.

That said, the AquaShield arrives fully assembled, uses standard 1\" fittings (BSP to NPT adaptors supplied), and plugs into a normal power outlet. If you're confident with household plumbing, the installation itself is straightforward. If you're not sure, get in touch and we'll help you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I replace the cartridges and UV lamp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplace the UV lamp and quartz sleeve every 14 months.

Replace the lamp as soon as you're alerted.

The system works with mains, rainwater, and bore or surface water — but incoming water must meet the quality limits listed above. Bore water quality varies significantly. We recommend testing your bore water before installing — get in touch and we'll help you choose the right configuration for your supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need bypass valves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBypass valves aren't included and we don't stock them, but we strongly recommend your plumber fit them on either side of the system. They let you isolate the unit for servicing without cutting off your water supply. Any licensed plumber or plumbing merchant can supply and fit them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the water quality requirements?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor reliable UV performance: hardness ≤120 mg\/L, iron \u0026lt;0.3 ppm, manganese \u0026lt;0.5 ppm, turbidity \u0026lt;1 NTU, tannins \u0026lt;0.1 ppm, and UV transmittance \u0026gt;85%.

The difference is housing size. The KAS10AM uses Standard (slim) housings — smaller footprint, easier to fit in tight spaces, but a lower max flow rate of 15 LPM. The KAS10JM and KAS20JM use larger Jumbo housings with higher flow capacity and longer cartridge life. If space is your priority, the KAS10AM is the right fit.

UV output degrades before the lamp visibly fails, so don't wait until it stops glowing. Cartridges should be replaced every 6–12 months depending on your water quality. Clean the quartz sleeve each time you change the lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need to clean the quartz sleeve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quartz sleeve surrounds the UV lamp inside the chamber.

If you have a smaller household, the Pure III covers the same three filtration stages at a lower flow rate. If you don't need carbon treatment, the Ultra II may be sufficient. Get in touch if you're not sure which suits you best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Ultra III different from the Ultra II?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth use the same 48W UV chamber, flow-activated design, and 20 inch jumbo cartridges at 45 L\/min. The Ultra III adds a carbon block as the third filtration stage, which tackles organic tastes and odours that the Ultra II's two sediment stages don't address. If your water has an earthy taste or tank smell, the Ultra III is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Ultra III different from the Pure III?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are 3-stage systems covering coarse sediment, fine sediment, and carbon treatment. The Ultra III uses a more powerful 48W UV chamber (vs 33W) and runs at 45 L\/min (vs 30 L\/min), with 20 inch jumbo cartridges for greater filter capacity. It's the better choice for larger households or higher-demand installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the flow switch do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flow switch detects when water is moving and activates the UV lamp. When flow stops — taps off, no demand — the lamp shuts off automatically. This prevents water sitting in a lit chamber warming up, reduces power consumption, and extends lamp life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Ultra III make my water safe to drink?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV chamber treats water against harmful micro-organisms without chemicals. Sediment and carbon filtration removes particulates and organic taste and odour. For drinking water confidence, we recommend ensuring your pre-filtration is maintained and cartridges are replaced on schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a plumber to install it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most customers, yes — a licensed plumber is the safest path and protects your warranty on the plumbing side. The Ultra III arrives fully assembled, uses standard 25mm BSP fittings, and plugs into a standard 240V outlet. If you're confident with household plumbing, the installation itself is straightforward. If you're not sure, get in touch and we'll help you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I replace the cartridges and UV lamp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUV lamp life varies depending on how much water you use — the more water flowing through the system, the sooner the lamp will need replacing. UV output degrades before the lamp visibly fails, so don't wait until it stops glowing. Cartridges should be replaced every 6–12 months depending on your water quality. Clean the quartz sleeve each time you change the lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need to clean the quartz sleeve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quartz sleeve surrounds the UV lamp inside the chamber. Scale or sediment build-up on the sleeve blocks UV light from reaching the water, reducing treatment effectiveness. A quick clean during each lamp change keeps the system working as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens when flow stops?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flow switch shuts the UV lamp off automatically when water stops moving. This prevents the water in the chamber from warming up and means the lamp isn't running unnecessarily between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need bypass valves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're not included, but they're worth adding. Bypass valves let you isolate the system during cartridge and lamp changes without shutting off water to the rest of the house.

This two-stage approach is more effective for tank water with fine silt and clay particles. If your water is relatively clear with only coarser debris, the Clarity Plus I is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the Clarity I and Clarity Plus I?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are single-stage 20 micron pleated sediment systems. The Clarity Plus I uses a 20 inch jumbo housing — higher flow capacity and longer cartridge life between changes. It's the better choice for larger households with higher water demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need to be installed before or after my pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall it on the outlet side of your pump — after the pump, before the rest of the house. This protects your appliances and fittings downstream. If you need pre-pump protection, get in touch and we can advise on the right setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a plumber to install it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most customers, yes — a licensed plumber is the safest path and protects your warranty on the plumbing side. That said, the Clarity Plus I arrives fully assembled, uses standard 25mm BSP fittings, and mounts with the included hardware. If you're confident with household plumbing, the installation is straightforward. If you're not sure, get in touch and we'll help you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I replace the cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 6–12 months, depending on how much sediment is in your water. Tank water with higher silt loads will shorten cartridge life. The 20 inch format typically extends cartridge life compared to a 10 inch system under the same conditions. Check the filter — if it's visibly loaded with debris, it's time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need bypass valves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're not included, but they're worth adding.
