When is a sediment prefilter recommended?
Intended in areas where dirt and sand are present in the water supply Recommended to
- Protect your filter

Is the UVC module replaceable?
Yes.
When does the UVC module need to be serviced?
The UV unit life is 10,000 hours and should be serviced. Given normal use the UV would need to be replaced after 8 to 10 years of service.
