Sunshine Coast UV Filtration
When you’re relying on tank or bore water, keeping it safe to use is essential—and that’s exactly what UV water filtration systems are designed to do. These systems use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms before the water reaches your taps. But like any part of your water setup, they need regular maintenance to stay effective. At The Pump Doctor, we install and service UV filtration systems across the Sunshine Coast, making sure your water stays clean and your system keeps working as it should.

Clean, Safe Water Without The Hassle
UV filtration systems are one of the most effective ways to treat rainwater or bore water for household use—but only if the system is maintained correctly. The UV globe needs to be replaced annually, and the quartz sleeve and filters must be cleaned or swapped out regularly to ensure full sterilisation. If water quality changes, pressure drops, or the system shows warning lights, it’s time to get it checked.
Our team can check your system’s flow rate and performance to ensure the UV process is doing its job. Whether your system is due for routine maintenance or something isn’t working as it should, we’ll inspect, test, and service it with minimal disruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can UV filtration remove all contaminants from water?
UV filtration is excellent for neutralising biological contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, but it does not remove sediment, chemicals, or heavy metals. That’s why UV systems are usually installed with pre-filters that trap physical particles before water reaches the UV chamber. For comprehensive water treatment, UV systems are often combined with carbon or sediment filtration depending on the water source. A technician can assess your water and recommend the right combination of filters to suit your needs.
How often should a UV system be serviced?
Most UV systems need servicing once a year. The UV globe typically requires annual replacement, as its intensity fades over time even if it still lights up. The quartz sleeve—an internal component that surrounds the lamp—should also be cleaned or replaced as needed, depending on water quality. Pre-filters must be checked more frequently, especially if the water source contains sediment. Regular servicing ensures the system remains effective and keeps your water safe for everyday use.
Is UV water filtration safe for drinking water?
Yes, UV-treated water is safe to drink when the system is working properly and paired with adequate pre-filtration. It’s one of the safest and most reliable ways to disinfect water without adding chemicals. Because it doesn’t change the taste or introduce additives, it’s especially popular in households using rainwater or bore water. Proper system maintenance is key—if the globe is expired or the system isn’t running correctly, the water may not be fully disinfected.
