The combination gives broader treatment than carbon alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShould this 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need bypass valves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're not included, but worth adding. Bypass valves let you isolate the filter during cartridge changes without shutting off water to the rest of the house. Ask us about adding a set when you order.\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. The set 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. Get in touch if you're unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I replace the cartridges?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 6–12 months depending on your water quality and usage. The 20\" format typically extends cartridge life compared to a 10\" system. The carbon block's clearest signal is a return of taste or odour — replace it when that happens, even if flow is still good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty applies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe housing set carries a 3-year warranty.

The pleated design is cleanable — rinse or soak off the accumulated sediment when flow drops, sterilise, and reinstall. Most cartridges can be cleaned multiple times before replacement is needed. Replace at least annually regardless of condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I need to replace it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 6–12 months is the general guideline, but it depends heavily on your water quality and sediment load.

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. It does not treat bacteria or other micro-organisms. If you want to treat your rainwater for drinking, a UV system added downstream is the recommended next step. 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. This means it protects your appliances and fittings downstream, not the pump itself. 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 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. 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?\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 — some properties need changes more frequently. Check the pleated filter first; 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.

That said, the Essence II arrives fully assembled, uses standard 25mm BSP fittings, and mounts with the included hardware.

If you're on mains supply and mainly want better-tasting, UV-treated drinking water, the Pure Mini II does that job efficiently and compactly. If you want treated water at every tap — laundry, bathrooms, outdoor taps — a whole-house system is the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need to be installed by a plumber?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system connects via 6mm push-fit fittings to the cold-water supply under the sink, and arrives ready to connect.

UV light disrupts the DNA of microorganisms, rendering them unable to replicate — no chemicals are added to the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the flow-activated ballast work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ballast starts the UV lamp when water flow is detected and keeps it running for 5 minutes after the tap is closed. The lamp doesn't run continuously — it operates only when needed, extending lamp life and reducing power use. The 5-minute delay-off keeps the UV chamber sterilised between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it with rainwater or tank water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Pure Mini II suits rainwater and tank supplies. Two-stage filtration handles sediment and taste\/odour, and the UV stage treats microbial content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it with bore water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pure Mini II can be used on bore water supplies, but bore water quality varies significantly. We recommend testing your bore water before selecting a filtration system — get in touch and we'll help you choose the right configuration for your supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I need to replace the cartridges and UV lamp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilter cartridges should be replaced every 6–12 months depending on water quality and usage. The UV lamp should be replaced when the ballast indicates — the ballast monitors lamp output and signals when replacement is due.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit under my sink?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit measures 320 x 140 x 380 mm.

UV treats water against bacteria, viruses, and microbes. They address different things — filtration alone does not treat microbiological contamination, and UV alone cannot work effectively if the water contains sediment or turbidity. Together they provide comprehensive whole house treatment for tank and bore water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose the Clarity Plus III over the Clarity Plus II bundle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clarity Plus III adds a carbon block stage that reduces taste and odour. If your water has an earthy, mineral, or chemical taste — common in bore water and some tank water supplies — the Clarity Plus III addresses this in addition to sediment removal. If sediment only is the concern, the Clarity Plus II bundle is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose this bundle over the Clarity III + UV 33W bundle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clarity Plus III uses 20 inch jumbo housings for greater filter capacity and longer cartridge life, and the matched 48W UV unit handles a higher flow rate of 45 L\/min. It's the better choice for medium to large homes with higher simultaneous water demand. If you have a smaller household, the Clarity III + UV 33W bundle may be the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the order matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUV treatment requires clear water. If sediment reaches the UV chamber, it blocks UV light from reaching micro-organisms — reducing or eliminating treatment effectiveness. The Clarity Plus III's three filtration stages ensure clean, clear water arrives at the UV chamber every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the 1 micron filter remove Giardia?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 1 micron, the polyspun filter physically blocks Giardia cysts, which are typically 8–12 microns in size.

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 Force IV is the stronger choice for larger homes, higher-demand properties, and light farm use — up to 116 L\/min at a max head of 60 m. If you're not sure which fits your setup, get in touch and we'll help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Force Series the same as the Flow Series?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — they're different pump types. The Flow Series is a self-priming jet pump that can lift water from a tank up to 8 m below the pump. The Force Series is a multistage centrifugal pump that boosts pressure from a gravity-fed or low-pressure supply — it is not designed to lift water from below. If your tank sits above or level with your pump location, the Force Series is the right choice. If your tank is below, look at the Flow Series instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes my tank need to be above the pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the Force Series needs water to arrive at the inlet under gravity or with minimal inlet pressure. It can manage up to 1.5 m of suction lift, but it is not a self-priming lifting pump. In most gravity-fed tank setups where the tank sits at or above ground level and the pump is in a shed below, the Force Series works well. If you're unsure about your setup, get in touch before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the pressure controller do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pressure controller monitors flow and manages the pump automatically. When you open a tap or appliance, it detects demand and starts the pump. When flow stops, it shuts off. This keeps pressure consistent and protects the pump from running unnecessarily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a plumber to install it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend a licensed plumber for most installations. The pump arrives with the controller pre-fitted and plugs into a standard power outlet, but the plumbing connections to your water supply and home should be done properly to protect the pump and your warranty. When in doubt, get a plumber in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I pair it with a water filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — a whole house filter installed after the pump is a common and practical combination. The pump provides the pressure, and the filter cleans the water before it reaches your taps. Get in touch if you'd like help choosing a filter to suit your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow loud is it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth models are rated at ≤ 72 dB(A).

Replacing everything together ensures the full system is fresh and performing correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the UV lamp actually do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV lamp treats water flowing through the chamber against bacteria, viruses, and microbes without chemicals. After 12 months of operation the UV output drops below the level needed for effective treatment — even if the lamp is still visibly lit. That's why the system alerts you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the lamp fit my system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 46W RL6 compatible lamp fits the Puretec Hybrid G8, G9, G12, and G13.

Filter cartridges typically need replacing on the same 12-month cycle as the lamp.

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.

When a tap opens and water moves, the lamp activates. When flow stops, it shuts off.

The more water used daily, the sooner the lamp reaches the end of its effective UV output. UV output degrades before the lamp visibly fails, so don't wait for it to stop glowing. Replace on schedule and clean the quartz sleeve at each lamp change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the quartz sleeve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quartz sleeve surrounds the UV lamp inside the chamber, keeping the lamp dry while allowing UV light to pass through to the water. Scale or deposits on the sleeve reduce UV transmission and treatment effectiveness. Clean it at each lamp change and replace if it becomes scratched or cloudy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need bypass valves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're not included but worth adding.

The Ultra IV uses a variable speed drive to modulate motor speed continuously — maintaining consistent pressure without the on\/off cycling.

The suction lift is up to 1.5m, so the pump needs to be positioned close to the tank water level. For tanks significantly below the pump, get in touch to confirm whether the installation suits the suction lift specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come complete?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the pump, integrated variable speed controller, and pressure tank are all included.

It's suitable for pump shed and outdoor installations in normal conditions, but should not be submerged or exposed to heavy water spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need a plumber to install?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — professional installation by a licensed plumber is recommended.
