Why change your UV light every 12 months

A Concise Description

Discover why we highly recommend replacing the UV light in your private water supply filtration system.

Why Change Your UV Lamp Every 12 Months?

Your private water supply can harbour a range of bacteria, including E.coli, Enterococci, and Clostridium. In some cases, a strain of bacteria known as Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been found, which can pose a serious risk to those with cystic fibrosis by causing severe lung infections. Ultraviolet (UV) lamps, used for sanitization, have an average lifespan of 9,000 hours – approximately one year. However, after this timeframe, the power of the UV radiation significantly diminishes, compromising its ability to effectively eliminate bacteria.

Don’t Compromise Your Health!

While your UV lamp may still emit a glow, its ability to kill bacteria decreases after 12 months of use. To ensure complete removal of harmful bacteria from your water supply, it is crucial to replace the UV lamp annually. Don’t take any chances when it comes to your well-being!
