Professional UV water filter installation in Honiton. We install whole-house UV sterilization systems, under-sink filters, and water treatment equipment. Proper plumbing integration, electrical connection, and system testing included.
UV water filters use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and pathogens in your water supply. They're common in rural homes with private water supplies or for anyone wanting extra water treatment. Installation requires proper plumbing integration and positioning.
We install the UV chamber in the correct orientation, connect to your water supply with proper fittings, wire the UV lamp power supply, install any pre-filters, and test the system flows and sterilization indicator.
| System Type | Installation Location | Typical Time | |------------|---------------------|-------------| | Whole-house UV | Main water line after stopcock | 1.5-2 hours | | Under-sink UV | Below kitchen sink | 1-1.5 hours | | UV + filters | Combined system with pre-filtration | 2-3 hours | | Pond/aquarium UV | External setup with pump integration | 1-1.5 hours |
**Installation requirements:** Access to main water line, power outlet nearby (or wiring required), space for UV chamber (typically 60-90cm long), and proper drainage for filter changes.

Good to Know
UV filters kill bacteria and pathogens but don't remove chemicals, heavy metals, or improve taste. They're often used with other filters (sediment, carbon, reverse osmosis) as part of a complete water treatment system. For private water supplies (boreholes, wells, springs), UV is often essential for safe drinking water. Pair it with regular water quality testing to monitor what's in your supply. Installation requires shutting off your water supply temporarily (typically 1-2 hours). Plan accordingly or we can install isolation valves to minimize disruption.
Frequently Asked Questions about UV filter installation in Honiton
How much does UV filter installation cost?
UV filter installation starts at £60 for the first hour, then £50/hr. A typical whole-house UV system installation takes 1.5-2 hours (£85-110). This includes plumbing integration, electrical connection, and testing.
Can you install any brand of UV filter?
We install most UV water treatment systems - whole-house units, under-sink systems, and standalone units. If you've bought a system, we'll install it. If you're buying, we can advise on reputable brands.
Does UV filter installation require an electrician?
UV systems need power for the UV lamp. We can install systems with standard plug connections. Hard-wired systems or new circuits require a qualified electrician, which we can arrange.
Where should a UV filter be installed?
Whole-house UV filters install on the main water line after the stopcock and any pre-filters. Under-sink units go below the sink. We'll assess your plumbing and advise the best position.
