I have questions.
What is the warranty as UV deteriorates many plastics?
How are the UV specs determined?
.....Dwell time (time the water is in contact with the UV bulb sleeve) is the single most important factor in a killing dosage.
What keeps the UV from killing the bacteria in the media?
Is the UV source on a separate switch or power cord?
