The UVF11A UV Water Filter is a complete add-on kit that can be added to most under sink or RO systems as a final stage. Combining a Reverse Osmosis filtration system with UV light water purifier provides the most complete method of water filtration available.

The ultraviolet light purifier UVF11A features an 11 watt UV lamp shielded in a stainless steel housing versus the 6 watt lamp commonly found in other products. A flow sensor switch turns the UV filtration system on and off automatically with water flow, saving power and lengthening the life of the UV lamp. It is suitable to be installed as a final stage of the under sink water filtration system.

Title: Quality Product Backed By Superb iSpring Customer Service
Review: This is a quality UV water filter. We are on a well system and wanted to be sure our drinking water was safe. While researching UV water filters, we decided to add this Whole House UV filter to our house water filter system, and this UV filter treats all the water entering our home. In addition to this UV filter, we also added the iSpring Reverse Osmosis (RO) system with booster pump and alkaline filter for our drinking water and ice maker. I installed the UV filter horizontally, ensuring we could access the light when it was time to replace it. I installed it after sediment filters (one 200 micron and one 40 micron) and two additional whole house filters (one added 5 micron sediment filter and one 5 micron charcoal filter) in order to remove sediment and silt from the water entering the UV filter tube. The water exiting the UV filter serves the whole house, and I added a branch after the UV filter to route water through the iSpring RO system for drinking water and the ice maker.Finally, a word about iSpring Customer Service is definitely in order. I called Customer Service with several questions about the UV filter as well as our new iSpring RO system. Michelle and John answered all my questions; very helpful, informative and always responsive. I called before, during and after installing the iSpring Whole House UV filter, the iSpring RO system, as well as several RO faucets. I had questions about the products and the installation. In one instance after installing the UV filter, Michelle quickly sent a replacement part for the UV filter. When I installed the UV filter, per the instructions, I set the flow controller to auto, which meant the light would only turn on when water was flowing through the tube. After two months, the light stopped working and the system registered an error code (a beep and red light). I called and spoke with Michelle, who quickly diagnosed the problem and arranged to send the replacement parts. Thankfully all under warranty! She also advised me to set the flow regulator to “move” rather than “auto” in the future. In another instance during installation, John reviewed my system set up and arranged to send several required quick connect fittings, which were compatible with our system. The fittings were essential to completing the installation. Overall, we are pleased with the iSpring products, the superb Customer Service, and our family especially loves the RO drinking water!

Title: Great UV Sterilizer!
Review: I bought the UVF55FS for my rainwater system and it's working great! At first, I thought I'd wasted my money because, after completely flushing my entire system, a coliform bacteria test came out positive. It did it again after a second complete flush. I finally realized that bacteria are pretty sticky and some will inevitably remain stuck to the sides of the pipes, even after multiple attempts to wash them out. So I decided to fill the whole system with a strong concentration of chlorine bleach and I let it stand for 3 hours. Then I flushed the entire system out again until all traces of chlorine odor were gone. I continued using the system for washing but not drinking for a few days then retested for bacteria. This time, the test showed ZERO bacteria. I even let the test incubate for a couple extra days to be sure.One thing I'd recommend is NOT waste your money on the version that I did with the flow sensor. I think the flow sensor is a bad idea now that I've had some experience and more time to think about it. For one thing, the flow sensor will not turn the UV lamp on until flow rate rises to 0.66 GPM. So if you use this mode and you run some water at anything less that this rate, the bacteria-contaminated water entering the UV unit can pass right through without being sterilized. Another problem is that even when the lamp turns on, it will take it a while to come up to full intensity, allowing more unsterilized water to pass through. Yet another problem is that the lamp may not last as long if it's continuously cycled on and off. Therefore, I'm leaving mine on 100% of the time and expect to replace it in 1 year.A few corrections for the manual:On page 4, it incorrectly states the maximum water pressure allowed is 43 PSI. Page 3 apparently has the correct spec which is 85 PSI. It's also stated on page 12: 4 PSI min / 85 PSI max.On page 4, it says to make sure the inlet is at the bottom if you mount the unit vertically because they incorrectly say it will slow down water flow. It won't slow the flow regardless of putting the inlet at the top or bottom. The only way their statement could be true is if the bottom port was left open so water could fall out with no back-pressure. When installed in your home's water system, the difference between pressure-tank pressure and the back-pressure is what determines flow rate, not the orientation of the UV unit. Orientation doesn't effect this at all.On page 8, it says "Mode AUTO is highly recommended to protect the UV lamp.". Not true and definitely NOT recommended.On page 9, it says the "system is designed for continuous operation, and frequent switching will reduce ultraviolet radiation and service life." which directly contradicts the statement on page 8. I believe this statement on page 9 is correct and you should ignore the AUTO mode recommendation. Don't even purchase the version with the flow sensor so you won't have an AUTO mode in the first place!Note that if your home experiences a power outage, unless you use some kind of uninterruptable power supply, your UV sterilizer will be off and any bacteria and viruses can then pass into your potable water system when you turn on a faucet. Mine is on solar with battery storage so is much less of a problem but I still may add a UPS for the UV unit.Lastly, I DO highly recommend this unit after seeing the bacteria test results.

Title: Great UV System & Great Service
Review: The system was easy to install and gives us the confidence of having clean water for our home. We did have bacteria in our water when we purchased our home, but we treated the well and installed this to be sure that we are not affected by any potential contamination. We recently had our water tested without the filter on and we still had no bacteria, so while the filter is not required, it does give us confidence in our water.After just a few months, the UV light burned out. We had the flow switch set on Auto so that it would turn the light on/off when the water was being used so it was not on full time. However, for the 9000 hour bulb to burn out after only a few months tells me that it may not be the best setting. Maybe it was a faulty bulb, but I am going to try to leave it on full time to see if it will last longer.When the bulb burned out, my immediate response was to buy a new one online, or at a local box store. I did the box store with a ship to home option as it was not in stock locally. The bulb came almost a week later, broken. Then I ordered two and waited another 5 days and received one broken and one good. At this point I decided to reach out to iSpring support and I was shocked to get a live person on the line, name John, who did not forward me to anyone else or ask me to fill out some lengthy registration form. Instead, he said he would take care of it and to email him a copy of my proof of purchase. Not three days later I had two new bulbs sitting on my front porch. I should have reached out to support first!Thank you iSpring for your great customer service and for standing behind your products.

Review: After a few months the UV lamp started having alarm on the ballast. It would sometime turn on and light would go back green. At other times, it would just stay in alarm. Francis sent both a lamp and a ballast although it wasn’t obvious what the issue was. It was a defective lamp and the issue is resolved.

Review: I bought UV lamp "like new" that was inspected by Amazon as an addition to an previously purchased set of iSpring RCC7AK. Unfortunately, there were no 2 connectors type L in the box and I was forced to buy an additional set for connecting water of 6.35 mm (the kit came not the one that was ordered, but I used type connectors I and L, instead of 2 type L). I did not find any difficulties with installation and integration into the iSpring RCC7AK reverse osmosis system. The manual is very simple and understandable.

Review: This uv filter is solid built. It came well packaged but some parts ( O-rings) were missing. Kudos to their customer service representative Michele who quickly resolved this. Once the o-rings arrived, I installed the filter connecting it to the main line from the pressure tank so clean water supplied to the whole house. Be carefull when assembling the filter - the glass tube and uv lamp are very long and fragile. Instructions are easy to follow. Installed it vertically resting on the floor - this filter is very heavy and I didn't trust the plastic fasteners. Had to reduce the water pressure in my tank because the quartz glass tube seems can't handle more than 43 psi. Turned the uv lamp to auto mode. Will see how long it is going to last. Water test results came clear, so this stuff works. P.S. be generous with teflon tape for plumbing and have a 2 or 3 large towels ready in case you have leaks after the test and need to correct or retighten the connections.
