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. For anyone confident with this style of plumbing, the install is straightforward. If you'd prefer to have it done, a plumber can fit it quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the UV lamp do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6W UV lamp treats bacteria, viruses, and microbes in the water passing through the stainless steel UV chamber. 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. It is designed for compact underbench installation and fits under most standard kitchen sinks. If your under-sink space is particularly tight, measure the available depth and height before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it slow down my water flow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the rated treatment flow of 3 L\/min the system delivers full UV treatment — that's plenty for filling a glass, kettle, or pot without noticeable waiting. The maximum flow rate is 9 L\/min, though UV effectiveness reduces at higher flows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty applies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Waimana Waiora Pure Mini II carries a 3-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waimana Water","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44656206250028,"sku":"Waiora Pure Mini II","price":319.7,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/5966\/6732\/files\/7_Waiora_Pure_II_Mini_UV_System_front_unit_only.jpg?v=1773170988","url":"https:\/\/www.filtrationstation.co.nz\/products\/waiora-pure-mini-ii-underbench-uv-water-filter","provider":"Filtration Station NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
