Description
The Blue Spot 6W UV Sterilizer with Flow Switch is a compact, high-precision safety barrier designed for point-of-use applications. This model is specifically engineered for under-counter filters, water dispensers, and low-flow laboratory equipment. Unlike standard UV units that stay on 24/7, this unit features an integrated flow switch, which activates the UV lamp only when water is moving. This prevents heat build-up in the water and significantly extends the lifespan of the lamp and ballast.
Features
- 99.9% Pathogen Removal: Effectively deactivates bacteria, viruses, and cysts at a flow rate of 100 Litres Per Hour.
- Integrated Flow Switch: Smart activation ensures the lamp only runs during water flow, saving energy and preventing “hot-start” water.
- Compact Stainless Steel Reactor: Polished stainless steel chamber designed for maximum UV reflection in a small footprint.
- 1/4″ Female Connection: Industry-standard sizing for seamless integration with 1/4″ tubing used in RO systems and under-counter purifiers.
- Chemical-Free Disinfection: Provides hospital-grade sterilization without affecting the taste, odor, or mineral content of your water.
- High-Purity Quartz Sleeve: Protects the lamp while allowing maximum UV-C penetration.
How It Works
Detection: As soon as you open your tap, the internal flow switch detects movement and ignites the UV lamp.
The UV Process: Water flows around the quartz sleeve and is exposed to intense 254nm UVC rays.
Disruption: The UVC light penetrates the DNA of microorganisms, rendering them sterile and harmless.
Shutdown: Once the tap is closed and flow stops, the lamp automatically switches off.

Maintenance Schedule
Even with a flow switch, regular maintenance is vital for safety:
- UV Lamp Replacement: Required every 12 months (even if the lamp still triggers, the germicidal gas depletes).
- Quartz Sleeve Cleaning: Every 6 months. Any mineral film on the glass will block the UV light.
- O-Ring Check: Inspect seals during every lamp change to prevent leaks.
Essential “Good to Know”
- Pre-Filtration is Mandatory: UV light cannot “see” through dirt. You must have a sediment filter (5-micron or smaller) before the UV unit.
- Flow Orientation: Ensure the flow switch is installed in the correct direction (indicated by the arrow) to ensure the lamp triggers correctly.
- Fragile Components: UV lamps and quartz sleeves are extremely fragile. Collection is highly recommended to avoid courier breakage.
