What it removes

Filtered and UV-treated water at every tap

The Ultra III removes sediment, silt, tastes and odours, then treats the water with UV before it reaches your taps.

  • Sediment, dirt and rust

    Larger sediment, dirt, rust and suspended particles.

  • Fine silt

    Fine sediment and silt down to 1 micron.

  • Tastes and odours

    The carbon block helps reduce unwanted tastes and odours.

  • Bacteria and viruses

    The UV stage treats bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms, with no chemicals added.

How it works

Three stages, then UV

Water passes through each filter stage in order, then the UV chamber, before it reaches every tap in the house.

    UV treatment

    48W UV chamber

    30 mJ/cm²Flow-activated

    The filtered water passes through the UV chamber, which treats it for bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms with no chemicals added. The lamp only runs while water is flowing.

  6. Filtered, UV-treated water to every tap

UV treatment

Flow-activated 48W UV

The 48W lamp delivers a 30 mJ/cm² UV dose at up to 45 L/min. It treats the water for bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms without adding chemicals.

  • Runs only when needed

    The flow switch turns the lamp on when water flows and off when it stops.

  • Longer lamp life

    The lamp only runs while water is flowing.

  • Lower power use

    The lamp is off between uses.

  • No warm water in the chamber

    Water doesn't sit and warm in the chamber between uses.

Looking after the UV

  • Clean the quartz sleeve whenever the UV lamp is inspected.
  • Replace the UV lamp every 12 months.
  • UV needs clear water. The filter stages before it remove the sediment that would block the UV light.

Common questions

What is the difference between the Ultra III and the Ultra III Shield?

Both give the same filtration, UV treatment and flow rate. The Shield adds a protective cover and two pressure gauges, so it suits indoor and outdoor installation.

Can the standard Ultra III go outdoors?

No. Install it indoors or under cover. Choose the Ultra III Shield for an outdoor spot.

What does flow-activated UV do?

The lamp only switches on when water is flowing. That lowers power use, extends lamp life and stops water warming in the chamber.

Does UV change the taste of the water?

No. UV treats the water without adding chemicals or changing its taste. The carbon block is what helps with taste and odour.

How often do I change the cartridges and the lamp?

Every 12 months. The service kit has the cartridges and the UV lamp, so you change them together. Clean the quartz sleeve at each lamp change.

Full product details

Read the full description

The Waiora Ultra III, made by Waimana, filters your water in three stages, then treats it in a 48W UV chamber. It's rated at 45 L/min, which suits large households.

The stages are a 20 µm polypleated cartridge, a 1 µm polyspun sediment cartridge and a 5 µm carbon block, all 20" jumbo. The UV dose is 30 mJ/cm², and a flow switch helps stop the UV running when no water is flowing. Ports are 1 inch (25 mm) BSP, maximum pressure is 116 psi (8 bar), and it runs on 240 V.

Change the filter cartridges and the UV lamp every 12 months, and clean the quartz sleeve at each lamp change. 3-year manufacturer's warranty covering the UV chamber, housings and workmanship.
