Davey Microlene UV Systems: Safe, Chemical-Free Drinking Water for New Zealand Homes & Commercial Properties

Ensuring your family or clients have access to safe, clean, and great-tasting water is a top priority for New Zealand households and businesses alike. Whether you rely on rainwater tank collection, bore water, or a rural supply, the Davey Microlene UV System offers a premier, chemical-free disinfection solution. By harnessing the natural power of Ultra Violet (UV) light, these trade-quality systems neutralize up to 99.9% of harmful pathogens without altering the taste, odour, or chemistry of your water supply.

Why Choose Davey Microlene UV Disinfection?

In New Zealand, environmental factors and run-off can easily introduce disease-carrying micro-organisms into private water systems. Davey Microlene UV systems are specifically engineered to prevent the growth of viruses (including hepatitis and SARS CoV), bacteria (such as E. coli and salmonella), algae, fungi, and chlorine-resistant cysts like Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Designed to meet strict NZ standards, this is a highly reliable, low-maintenance filtration upgrade that fits seamlessly into any home renovation, rural property, or new-build plumbing plan.

Key Benefits for Kiwi Homeowners and Trade Professionals:

• No Chemical By-Products: Disinfects water instantly without chlorine or other harsh chemicals, ensuring 100% natural-tasting water straight from the tap with zero chemical residuals.
• Ultra-Low Maintenance: With no moving parts to wear out, clog, or break, the system requires minimal upkeep--generally just a simple UV lamp replacement once per year.
• Versatile Applications: Ideal for single drinking water taps, whole-house domestic water supplies, large lifestyle blocks, and light commercial installations.
• High Flow Performance: Available in flow rates of up to 250 litres per minute (lpm) to prevent pressure drops in busy households or commercial buildings.

Technical Recommendations & Installation Advice

To achieve maximum UV light penetration and ensure your system performs to trade standards, Davey recommends installing a pre-filtration system down to 1 micron before the UV chamber. This prevents sediment from shading pathogens from the UV rays. It is also critical not to exceed the maximum flow rate specified for your selected unit. At Pratts, our plumbing and water treatment specialists can help you spec, source, and install the perfect filtration setup for your specific water source.
