The flow switch activates the lamp automatically when water moves and shuts it off when flow stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sequence matters — sediment filtration before UV ensures clear water enters the chamber, which is what makes UV treatment effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Clarity Plus II over Clarity II\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clarity Plus II uses 20 inch jumbo housings instead of 10 inch. More filter media means greater sediment holding capacity, longer cartridge life, and better performance at higher flow rates. It's the better choice for medium to large homes or properties with higher daily water demand. The matched 48W UV unit handles the higher flow rate of 45 L\/min.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA note on bore water\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBore water quality varies significantly from site to site.

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 is turbid or contains sediment. Together they provide comprehensive whole house treatment for tank and bore water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose the Clarity Plus II over the Clarity II bundle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clarity Plus II uses 20 inch jumbo housings for greater filter capacity and longer cartridge life. The matched 48W UV unit handles a higher flow rate of 45 L\/min — better suited to medium to large homes with higher simultaneous water demand. If you have a smaller household, the Clarity II + 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 II's two sediment 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. We recommend testing your bore water before ordering — get in touch and we'll help you confirm this is the right configuration for your supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the two items need to be installed at the same time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey can be installed together or separately. The Clarity Plus II 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. The Clarity Plus II uses standard 25mm BSP fittings and arrives pre-assembled with a housing spanner. The UV unit uses 25mm BSP and plugs into a standard 240V outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty applies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth items carry a 3-year manufacturer's warranty.
