Viqua PRO10
#1 in Up to 12 GPMFull review
For a home whose well, lender or health department needs a certified Class A system. Overkill for a cabin that just wants a budget backstop.

2.7/5
A solid 12 GPM unit with an honest dose rating, for a typical well home that wants an easy Amazon return. A Luminor LB5-151 does the same for a similar price.

- 12 GPM at the full 40 mJ/cm² dose covers a typical well home

- Sold and shipped by Amazon, so returns are simple
Cons
- No UV sensor, so a fouled sleeve goes unnoticed
- Rated only to 100 psi
- Tested to NSF/ANSI 55 but not certified
- A genuine AQ-UV-L420C lamp costs about $147 on Amazon every year

A well built Canadian unit with an honest 12 GPM rating at the full dose, for a typical well home. Buy the LB6 version if you want a sensor from day one.

#4 in Up to 12 GPMFull review
A bare bones budget UV for a cabin or a well that already passes bacteria tests. Too little is published to rely on it for a known problem.
