LiveSmart UV Systems · Ultraviolet water treatment
An additional layer.
Carefully specified.
Ultraviolet treatment uses UV light to inactivate microorganisms in water passing through the system. We assess the water, pretreatment and required flow before selecting a UV configuration for the home.

Protection
through light.
A UV chamber exposes flowing water to ultraviolet light. It works differently from a filter that physically captures particles.
Inside the processIllustration
01Prepare the water
Appropriate pretreatment helps UV light reach microorganisms.
02Deliver the dose
Sufficient UV exposure disrupts genetic material in susceptible microbes, including coliform bacteria such as E. coli.
03Inactivate
The affected microorganisms cannot reproduce. They are inactivated, rather than physically removed.
Performance depends on UV dose, water clarity, flow and maintenance. UV does not remove dissolved chemicals. Follow the system’s operating limits.

A simplified explanation with compressed time and enlarged particles. Equipment design and treatment results vary with the selected system and your water. Learn more: WA Department of Health ↗
The everyday difference
Effective treatment starts before the lamp.
UV selection is about delivering the required exposure through suitably prepared water.
A considered treatment sequence
Assess sediment, hardness, iron and other findings that can interfere with UV performance.
A clear maintenance routine
Explain lamp replacement, sleeve care and the monitoring features supplied with the selected system.
UV does not remove hardness, dissolved chemicals or sediment. A lit lamp alone does not prove effective treatment. Water quality, flow, UV dose and system condition all matter.
How we approach it
Prepare the water.
Then apply the right dose.
We review source-water testing and select the pretreatment, UV system and monitoring arrangement together.
- Review the sourceUse the relevant water analysis, including laboratory results when required.
- Control the conditionsMatch pretreatment and flow limits to the chosen UV system's requirements.
- Plan monitoring and serviceSpecify the lamp schedule, alerts and any additional monitoring or shutoff options with the selected equipment.

Figures apply to the reference configuration shown. Rated flow depends on UV dose and UV transmittance (UVT); it is not a universal treatment rating. Lamp-removal clearance is additional. We verify the water preparation, dose, flow and monitoring requirements when selecting the system for your home.

Custom-designed systems
Your water.
Your home.
Your space.
We select and combine the right components, size the system and plan the plumbing around the home. Closets, compact utility rooms and unusual layouts are part of the design conversation.

Living with your system
Support after
installation.
We explain the equipment, the service routine and how to reach us when something changes.
Replace the lamp on schedule
UV output falls with age. Follow the installed system's specified replacement interval.
Keep the sleeve clean
Deposits on the sleeve can interfere with the light reaching the water.
Respond to alerts
Follow the system instructions and contact LiveSmart when an alarm or water-quality change occurs.
A few useful answers
Questions, answered.
Does UV make any water safe to drink?
No. It is one treatment step with defined operating conditions. It does not remove chemical contaminants, and unsuitable water or excessive flow can compromise performance.
Can I use UV with a softener or iron filter?
Yes, when a treatment plan calls for those steps. The order and settings are selected for the actual water.
Does a glowing lamp mean the system is working effectively?
Visible light is not a measurement of delivered UV dose. Correct water preparation, flow, lamp age and any specified monitoring remain important.
How much space does it need?
We consider the chamber as well as the extra room needed to remove the lamp and sleeve during service.
