MicroFilter OPP-UV6W 1.0 GPM UV System (w/o Ballast)

Description

The MicroFilter OPP-UV6W 1.0 GPM UV System (without ballast) is a point-of-use ultraviolet water disinfection unit designed to reduce harmful microorganisms — including bacteria, viruses, and cysts — in drinking water. With a compact chamber and 6 W UV lamp, this unit treats water up to 1 gallon per minute, making it ideal for under-sink installations, integration with reverse osmosis (RO) systems, or as a final disinfection stage in small-flow water treatment setups.

※ Ballast / power supply sold separately — this variation comes without the transformer, allowing you to select the appropriate voltage/power option for your installation (110 V or 220 V).

Key Features

• Effective UV Disinfection — Inactivates bacteria, viruses, cysts, and other biological pathogens using germicidal ultraviolet light.
• Rated Flow: Up to 1.0 GPM — ideal for point-of-use and RO system applications.
• Durable Chamber: High-quality plastic housing with a stainless steel lining.
• Compact Design: Slim, easy-to-install unit fits conveniently under sinks or inside cabinetry.
• 1/4″ Quick-Connect Fittings: Simple push-in connections for fast hook-up with standard RO/plumbing lines.
• Visual Lamp Indicator: End-cap illuminates when the lamp is powered and operating (when connected to a ballast).
