Simply order online with free shipping to your home, and once it arrives any local licensed plumber will be able to do the installation (the system also comes with instructions)! When calling around for quotes, be sure to ask about installing a \"bypass\" so you can still get water into your home when the time comes for filter changes! Normally, a whole house system will be installed after the pump and before the main water line goes into your property. Your plumber will need to source fittings to install the system to your required specifications - because all setups are different, we do not supply fittings with this kit. Please refer to the description for items supplied with this kit. As the blue housing is UV resistant it can be installed in direct sunlight, however, installing the system in the shade or under cover can help prolong the life of the housings. Please note that the UV System (including the Stainless Steel Chamber + Power Supply) is not waterproof and should be protected from the weather\/rain\/water\/moisture at all times. The UV System must also be installed directly into a single socket surge protector before being connected to a 240V 10A General Power Outlet (PowerPoint). It must be a surge protector - Circuit Breakers and Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are not suitable substitutes as they do not protect the unit from power surges. All aspects of this Water Filtration + UV System Kit must be protected from freezing temperatures at all times.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eFULL AUSTRALIAN WATERMARK CERTIFICATION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eAll Water Filtration Systems included in this package are certified to WaterMark Standards AS\/NZS 3497 under Certificate number 23247.

However, please consider that if this is drinking water you need to be careful not to overuse a pleated filter, because it will eventually gather bacterial contaminants and incur micro-tears. If the water isn't all that bad you might want to consider using a polyspun disposable filter and replace it when dirty. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003ePleated Filter Options:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e5 Micron Pleated Washable Sediment Filter Cartridge\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePoly Spun (Polypropylene) Disposable Sediment Filters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.filtersystemsaustralia.com.au\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/e1a3b634c3f92bc2ada80cd32dfa072a\/2\/-\/2-2n_1.jpg\" width=\"170\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eHigh Flow \u0026amp; Low Pressure Drop\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eCost-Effective \u0026amp; Disposable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003ePoly Spun filters produce a high flow and low pressure drop, and do not accumulate bacteria as much as other materials.

Whilst carbon effectively removes odours and taste issues from water, carbon ash is actually a source of nourishment for bacteria, making wet carbon filters a breeding ground for microbial contamination (Note: this should not be an issue on mains water as Chlorination is designed to kill bacteria). This, unfortunately, causes biofouling of the filter cartridge which can lead to premature blockage (costing you hundreds of dollars to replace cartridges more frequently than you should have to), putrid tastes and odours and worse - illness as a result of ingesting the bacteria that has passed through the cartridge and into your drinking water!

Therefore, when it comes to filtering raw water, Bacteriostatic (Silver Impregnated) Coconut Carbon is the number one choice, as this media is specifically designed for use with rainwater and tanks to prevent bacteria from breeding and colonising within the carbon and extending the life of your filter. Silver Impregnated Carbon is ideal for periods of time where the filter may go unused. If you want to get the most out of your carbon filter, you can even go one step further and dry it out between uses! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"entry\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"entry\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eSo, how does Silver Impregnation inhibit the growth of bacteria in a carbon filter? When bacteria come into contact with silver, the silver ions puncture the bacteria's cell membrane and wreak havoc by binding to and denaturing the bacteria's DNA. The sulphydryl group already within the bacterial cell also reacts with the silver, producing a silver sulphur complex that immobilises the respiratory and reproductive activity of the bacterial cell. Interestingly, Silver Impregnation has an incredibly long-lasting effect, as the dead bacteria then leach the silver molecules back into their environment, effectively killing neighbouring live bacteria as they die.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"entry\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" height=\"204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.filtersystemsaustralia.com.au\/media\/wysiwyg\/Silver_Kills_Bacteria.JPG\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" width=\"362\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eDead bacteria store the microscopic silver particles within their cells (see above image of dead bacteria with silver nanoparticles (white spots), making them deadly to live bacteria.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e(Source: \"Antibacterial Activity of Silver-Killed Bacteria: The \"Zombie\" Effect\" (2015), \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25906433\/\" style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ehttps:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25906433\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eRain\/Tank Water*** Filter Combo Example* (Only Recommended Over 50 psi\/344 kPa Pump Pressure):\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eFilter 1: 5 Micron Pleated OR 5 Micron Poly Spun Sediment Filter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eFilter 3: 0.5 Micron Silver Impregnated Carbon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eFilter 3: Ultraviolet Treatment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eOR\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eRain\/Tank Water*** Filter Combo Example*:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eFilter 1: 5 Micron Pleated OR 5 Micron Poly Spun Sediment Filter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eFilter 2: 5 Micron Silver Impregnated Carbon \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eFilter 3: Ultraviolet Treatment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGT4-3LRC - 0.5 Micron Lead Reduction Composite Coconut Carbon (For Chlorine Reduction \u0026amp; Heavy Metal Concerns in Rainwater, Old Infrastructure, Cities \u0026amp; Industrial Areas)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/www.filtersystemsaustralia.com.au\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/e1a3b634c3f92bc2ada80cd32dfa072a\/4\/-\/4-3lrc.jpg\" width=\"124\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eReduction of Chlorine, Tastes, Odours and Heavy Metals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eIdeal for Filtering Rain\/Tank Water where atmospheric pollution may be of concern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eOn the basis of local and atmospheric contamination, it is not uncommon to have elevated heavy metal levels in rainwater supplies. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eConstant exposure to heavy metals combined with the different chemicals being used to treat our water supplies can have serious health effects, and can also cause severe plumbing problems within our homes.
