I don't have UV system.They can be installed after already existing filters or before.
They do work and the bulbs do need to be replaced.
From looking into it on the net a few years ago some systems use a convenient and not too expensive to replace bulb.
If you have good electric with no surges etc they should last a long time. Vibration may have a signifigant impact on filament life, Perhaps.
On our last trip we had to change filters several times as I only used one filter.
Next trip will be with two with the expensive good blue filter from CW and then a five micron after it. The one micron stopped up too many times by itself.
I haven't done it yet but like the old whole house filter we hada on our well, it killed all the nasties and caught most sediment from already very clean water. Uses a very big 10 inch filter only 25icros though. On line a confusion of filters as to which is best. If I can find a five micron in that big filter, won't have to change the filter for a long time. The GE version has a remote sensor to let you know when it needs changing but you can't see the filter.
Finding a place to mount it in the Mh being so large seems problem for me.
Perhaps I can figure it out before long. And then the UV would be a great investment in health after it.
