- Reduces chlorine and associated taste and odours in the water that affect the taste of drinking water and beverages, juices etc made with the water.
BENEFITS
- Makes ALL the water in the home safe to drink including bathrooms and showers
- Bracketed design makes installation a breeze
- Compact wall-mounting design
- Natural non-chemical method of treatment so you do not have to deal with chemicals
- Very little maintenance required other than filter and UV lamp changes
- Can be used on any water source such as well, lake, river or even municipally treated (see feed water quality specifications below)
Features

- Audio and visual reminder for UV lamp change
- Powder-coated stainless steel bracket with mounting holes 16” apart for stud mounting
- UV independently tested for > 40 mJ/cm2 UV dose at end of lamp life (NSF/ANSI 55A dose requirement) at rated flow
- Audible alarm and visual LED lamp expiry indicator (with 7-day override feature) to show end of lamp life – 9000 hrs of use (approx 1 year)
- High quality stainless steel chamber
- High output UV lamps specifically designed and engineered for high disinfection performance
INSTALLATION
- MEGA whole house UV system is installed on the main water pipe in the home after the pressure tank and any other treatment devices (e.g. water softener, iron filter etc), before the water line divides into hot and cold.
- For the MEGA whole house UV system to work properly, water must not have any colour or tannin. Also, for waters with high hardness, iron or manganese, additional pre-treatment may be required. If you are unsure about your water quality, you can send a water sample for a free water analysis.
- A surge protector is highly recommended to protect the ballast from voltage spikes
Feed water quality requirements
Hardness < 7.0 gpg (120 ppm); Iron < 0.3 ppm; Manganese < 0.05 ppm; Turbidity < 1 NTU, Tannins/Colour: None; UV Transmissivity > 85%
If any of these parameters in your water are outside the limits, you may need additional filtration. Please contact Rainfresh for help.
- Water Temperature Range : 4°C to 37°C (39 to 100°F)
- Feed Water Pressure : 10 to 100 psi (68.9 to 689 kPa; 0.68 – 6.89 bar)
REPLACEMENT UV LAMP
Rainfresh UV systems have one UV lamp that lasts 9,000 hours of use (approx 1 year), after which it must be replaced even though it may continue to light. This is because after 9,000 hours the ability of the UV lamp to kill bacteria drops below safe limits and can thus compromise your family’s health.
Use only GENUINE Rainfresh UV lamps : Use only GENUINE RAINFRESH UV Lamps with your UV system. Rainfresh UV lamps are designed with extensive product research and engineering to provide reliable and consistent UV output and performance that ensures the safety of your drinking water. Using non-Rainfresh UV lamps can not only compromise the system performance but also voids the electrical and CSA certification on the product and may result in unsafe drinking water, ballast failure or even an electrical fire. Use of non Rainfresh lamps will void warranty & product certification
