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 III over the Clarity II bundle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clarity 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 III addresses this in addition to sediment removal. If sediment only is the concern, the Clarity II bundle is sufficient.\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 the UV light from reaching micro-organisms — reducing or eliminating treatment effectiveness. The Clarity 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. UV treatment provides an additional layer of protection against microbiological contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this suitable for bore water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be, but bore water varies significantly from site to site.

The Clarity III filter system is installed upstream and the UV unit downstream — the UV unit should always be the last stage before water enters the home.\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 both components.
