Does this lamp work to purify water if held over water running slowly from a running faucet?
810779
No. However, it will purify a glass of clear water if placed on top of the glass in about 1 minute. To do this, center the unit over the glass. DO NOT PUT THE LAMP INTO THE WATER, turn on and leave it for 45 seconds. Stir the water and repeat.

Lights such as these are used in food processing with quality control microbe detection systems. I have practical experience in this. I would recommend the water be contained in a transparent container and exposure should be no more than 1.5 inches to the depth you desire. Theoritically, you could have a 3 inch diameter container and move the light the circumference of the container holding the light in position for minimum of 5 minutes on each side. Yes this will destroy microbes present in water that the light hits, but the microbes must have enough exposure. Brush up on UVC wavelength vs microbes and qualitative analysis is recommended for best and safest results. Be well.

Sorry, no, there is no light strong enough to do that safely in that manner.

I doubt it... it would all depend on the volume and rate of flow. I think measurement would be in order if I were to try to trust this method of microorganism control.

I have had one of these units for about 3 years and the water is still being filtered efficiently. It has an adaptor that you screw into the end of your faucet and has a lever to switch it from the faucet to the purifier and then turn it back to have water come back out of your faucet. It's simple. Cheaper than bottled water.

I am almost certain the answer is "no". It turns valves on and off, and has no way of sensing water pressure, etc.
2227186
Yes it can. I don't have the problem myself, but another method would be to reduce the pressure at the shut off valves under your sink. Start turning them down till you have the desired pressure at the faucet.

No, I have a whole house water filtration system that is installed at the entry of the water lines just after the water meter. The AP810 cartridge is not intended as a water purifier, it is only to remove debris, contaminates and some metals that appear in the typical water supply. This filter will prevent anything reaching your plumbing fixtures and keeping your faucets free of particle buildup that prevents frequent maintenance for long periods. I have used the Aqua-Pure system and cartridges for nine years and I am very glad that I have. Hope this answers your question.

There are various models. Mine has a flow switch that only turns the lamp on when there is sufficient flow through the filter.
1911206
Yes! It enables them to control the faucet that they couldn't otherwise reach. My Grandkids (7 yrs. and 5 yrs.) have no trouble with it. Only use it on the "cold" faucet to prevent hot water burns.
269235
Yes, but you have to make sure you have the water on and running when you remove the batteries. If you just remove the batteries while the flow is off and try to operate as a normal faucet it won't work.

Yes. It shuts off the water flow until it cools down, then the water will come back on.

If u can get power in the motor Home i don't see why it wouldn't work. I would pit a shut off valve before the system to make sure that water can't pass through the light when it isn't powered. As long as it has power it will disenfect the water. But u should also put a filter in front of it. The lamp is ready when the power is on and last for 1 year. Probably more if only using periodically.

Yes -- it is to an ultraviolet light that is a "tube" (water goes through the tube and the light bulb is encased). It's to help kill algae. Our light bulb is not part of the filter. However, we have had great success with this purchase. Hope this helps!

It has its own internal pump. The water flow is slow so that the UV bulb can do its work.

I found that this slows down the water flow rate significantly in a short amount of time, so I do not use it for that purpose. I now use it with a 1/2" dowel for glass cleaning. It works great!!

Yes, your faucet works the same as it did before. The only thing this does is circulate the hot water to the cold water side and back to the water heater, so that your faucet has hot water all the time while the pump is running. The valve installed underneath the faucet controls the flow of hot water back to the water heater to maintain hot water at the faucet. You control the temperature coming out of the faucet.

Yes this should work fine since you have sufficient time window to obtain reading. I have used it to get reading of water temperature coming out of faucet and soups etc. Also used it for correct water temperature for yeast.

It is a very simple mechanical timer. It will stop the flow of water when the timer runs down. I don't see why it wouldn't work...

The uv lamp kills microbes that might be in the water. That may or may not affect the smell and taste. I don't have that particular problem, but I have a catchment water supply that probably needs the uv treatment.
