Bore water quality varies significantly — we recommend testing your bore water before selecting a UV system. Get in touch and we'll help you choose the right configuration for your supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this unit include filtration?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — this is a UV sterilisation unit only. It treats water against harmful micro-organisms but does not remove sediment, chlorine, or other contaminants. For best UV performance, water should be clear and low in sediment before it enters the chamber. Pair it with sediment and carbon filtration upstream for a complete treatment setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the countdown timer do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T-Ballast controller tracks the service life of your UV lamp and triggers an audible alarm when replacement is due. UV lamps lose effectiveness over time even if they're still glowing — the alarm is your prompt to swap it out before treatment quality drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I replace the UV lamp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV lamp should be replaced every 12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre connection fittings included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The unit has 25mm connections — you'll need to supply your own fittings to connect it to your pipework. Confirm your existing connection sizes before purchasing.\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 unit arrives with mounting brackets and uses standard 25mm connections. 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\u003eDo I need bypass valves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBypass valves aren't included but are strongly recommended. They let you service the unit and replace the UV lamp without cutting off water to the property. Ask your plumber to include them in the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty does the unit carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unit is covered by a 2-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Filtration Station NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45628181872684,"sku":"UV-55W","price":655.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/5966\/6732\/files\/UV55w.png?v=1781235134","url":"https:\/\/www.filtrationstation.co.nz\/products\/uv-water-steriliser-55w","provider":"Filtration Station NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
