Just FYI to anyone considering this project. PEX pipe will break down quickly when exposed to UV. There is a reason you MUST use 6-12 inches of copper or stainless flex off of each side of a UV sanitizer to protect the pipe. In this installation you can see the pipes glowing, which will cause them to breakdown quickly and ultimately lead to a water line rupture.

Thanks for this tip…plumber for a couple years and idk why I didn’t put that together myself. Pex will do the same in sunlight, so only makes sense to shield it from the UV bulb!!

@gg-gn3re Год назад

yep, and doing a 90 degree like he did (but with copper pipe) will make a shorter run required You say stainless steel flex though, those have plastics on the inside. That'll degrade with UV too

Thank God for you who help others not make mistakes.

When someone does a DIY installation, it's very important to READ instructions. As already mentioned about PEX degradation next to the UV housing, another important fact that is clearly stated in the manufacturer's installation guideline is NOT to touch the the glass portion of the UV bulb as was errantly shown in this video while feeding it into the UV housing (at 2:52). One must hold it by the ceramic ends.

How does the water get decontaminated that fast as it passes through the light? If the well has chloroform in it and then goes to the holding tank … all that water is still contaminated? So you turn your faucet on … it passes through the UV light and wham bam the water is clean enough to drink? Just by passing by the UV light for a split second?? I’m confused and need some help understanding how this light actually sanitizes my water?

Sediment buildup clogged my water storage tank so I installed a sediment filter between the well and storage tank.

People might want to know that UV light degrades over time and needs to be replaced every year or two. Typically in the first 6 months, the light will have lost about 30 to 40 percent of its effectiveness. The same goes for UV lights in HVAC systems also. Just something to think about before spending money.

100% agree!

@Uae_ksa_ 2 года назад

Great work , subscribed and big like for you bro 👍

@tavarisjones551 3 года назад

Just FYI, you don't typically connect pex directly to a UV filter. The UV light will degrade PEX/PVC/etc.

@whitewolv92 3 года назад

What would you use instead? Just for those outlets on the UV reactor

@tavarisjones551 3 года назад

@@whitewolv92 I used corrugated stainless steel flexible water heater hose. I used this on the inlet and outlet of my uv filter.

@jake2102 3 года назад

Thanks. This is what I watched the video for lol

@gg-gn3re Год назад

@@tavarisjones551 The corrugated tubing in those is some type of plastic. It withstands UV longer than pex and pvc... but still degrades. but I just did copper and made a 90 degree turn so the light stops there. Also those flexible hoses are supposed to be replaced every 5-10 years, even the ones on toilets which see very little abuse and no heat are supposed to be replaced.

Need to get you a leak detector for the room. It will call / text you when it detects water / leaks on the floor

@rogueengineer 3 года назад

Good idea!

@autonomous_collective 3 года назад

Explain: "still having problems with bacteria" in system? How did you test? How did you flush?

@samkaplan2482 Год назад

Thank you so much for your video! I just installed a UV filter myself. Have you had any issue with degradation of the PEX closest to the UV filter, due to the UV light? I have read that PEX should not be exposed to UV light, which is what got me thinking about that proximity.

@KyleTO7 3 года назад

Nice Video, watching incase my dad wants to do this at his house. Any chance you know of a smaller unit that I could hook upto some 4mm tubing that's coming out from my water filter? I'd really like to have a final stage IV sanitizer

@Toneehulk504 3 года назад

what size are thos hardware fittings going in and o ut of the UV?

@RyanJohnsonD 3 года назад

Do you use this for drinking water?

@jamessun6103 6 месяцев назад

you made a bypass loop from the uv.

@dougcochran5962 3 года назад

Where did you purchase the UV system and 5 micron filter at? What was the cost?

I bought a cabin with a uv water filter. In this setup, when the water exits the uv filter it goes into the tankless water heater. Is that bad? Thanks
