The MicroFilter UV filter OPP-UV6W by AMPAC USA offers a powerful, versatile solution for ensuring the purity of drinking water. This UV filtration system is designed to eliminate harmful microorganisms for residential users. Whether integrated into an existing multi-stage reverse osmosis system or used as a standalone unit, the OPP-UV6W targets and neutralizes a wide range of contaminants, including giardia, bacteria, and viruses, keeping water safe for consumption and household use.
- Kills 99% of bacteria and viruses via UV disinfection
- Rated flow of 1 GPM with minimal impact on water pressure
- 6-watt power consumption for energy-efficient operation
- 1/4" quick-connect fittings for simple installation
- Compact 1.9" x 11" footprint with an illuminated end cap indicator
Operating at a flow rate of 1 gallon per minute (GPM), the OPP-UV6W delivers consistently clean water without significantly affecting water pressure, making it a convenient addition to any home seeking enhanced water quality. It connects to the existing water line using standard 1/4-inch quick-connect fittings, simplifying installation and maintenance. At just 6 watts of power consumption, it's an energy-efficient choice that still delivers powerful purification. Its compact 1.9-inch by 11-inch dimensions allow for discreet placement in most under-sink or utility spaces, and the end cap illuminates when the lamp is functioning, giving a clear visual indicator that the system is actively purifying water.
The UV lamp - the critical purification component - kills 99% of all bacteria and viruses present in the water. To maintain optimal performance, the G6T5-6W lamp should be replaced every 12 months. For systems running on 110V, the UVT-110 ballast/transformer is the recommended replacement part, ensuring continuous, efficient operation.
Beyond enhancing residential reverse osmosis systems, the OPP-UV6W functions well as a standalone unit for point-of-use applications in kitchens, bathrooms, or small offices, adding a layer of protection against waterborne pathogens. It's a practical option for homes on well water or anyone concerned about municipal water quality, with easy installation and minimal maintenance requirements.
