WH-002-55UV Whole House Water Filtration System – 55 LPM UV & 0.5 Micron Filtration
Product Overview
The WH-002-55UV is a compact, high-performance whole house ultraviolet water treatment and microfiltration system designed for small to medium Australian households.
Delivering up to 55 litres per minute, this integrated point-of-entry system combines sediment filtration, activated carbon treatment and ultraviolet disinfection to improve the quality of water supplied throughout your home.
The 0.5 micron filtration configuration provides certified mechanical cyst reduction, while Pentair's ultraviolet technology has been tested to achieve 99.9999% reduction of E. coli under specified laboratory conditions.
Ideal for households using mains water, rainwater or appropriately treated surface water, the UV5505 provides reliable whole house treatment in a more compact configuration than the larger UV7505 system.
