Bluonics 110W Ultraviolet Light Water Purifier 24GPM UV Sterilizer Large Home/Commercial For Killing Virus, Bacteria, Ecoli & Cryptosporidium

I have a private well in rural DeWitt county Texas at our retirement home we moved into last year. We purchased the home from an older couple, one of which was an RN and the other, a hospital lab tech...so we assumed they would have had the well tested for safety. After moving in, we noticed stains forming on the rings of our toilet shortly after digging a new pond. That prompted me to have the water tested and found the water was contaminated by chloroform. After a lot of research, we decided we wanted something safer than a chlorinator which was the only alternative offered up by our water purification company in town. That lead to our purchase of the 110 Two bulb UV from Bluonics and one of the tubes housing a bulb arrived broken. One call to Bluonics toll free number was all it took to have a new tube sent for free. I also asked for Orings, which were not in the shipment which was most likely the culprit for the broken tube. While waiting, I researched more, now nervous about installing the delicate tubes! So discussed with Bluonics by phone, who recommended the triple filter whole house system. I paid up by not ordering them as a package deal, as I wanted to add the carbon filter and one micron filter after I was told that salt system conditioners like mine can add sediment from the salt as well.

I paid a licensed plumber $300 to install the light and filter system pictured after having disinfected the well and entire house plumbing and hot water heater with chlorine. 45 5 gallon buckets hauled away to the gravel drive to keep chlorine out of the septic system later, my back and bad knee hurt for two days! I am now 100% confident that I will never have to do that again now that we have this new setup.

Installation hints: .there is no photo in the instructions but Bluonics texted a photo for how to place the Orings on the tubes, so make sure you put the O rings on correctly on the outer tubes to avoid any leaks. Also, using the same type of Flexible metal water supply lines that are used on hot water heaters gives a “no plastic” / “no leak” connection for the water inflow and outflow 1 inch connections. My plumber did not have to use pipe dope on any of the UV light connections by doing this. We had no leaking issues like I had read about and used no tape nor excess dope like some reviewers had noted.

Now we have water that taste better than the bottled water we were drinking before. Thank you Bluonics for all the help and quickly returning all my calls and the great service.

Unit is easy to maintain, especially like the drain valve.

It works fantastic. Up-graded from one lamp to this is the perfect intensive full house requirements. Its construction is solid.
