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 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.

Pros
- 12 GPM at the full 40 mJ/cm² dose, where budget 12 GPM units don’t say what dose they mean
- Colour screen shows lamp life, errors and a QR code to the lamp change video
- Lamp is keyed and the chamber is single ended, so lamp changes are quick
- Ports for a UV sensor or shutoff valve can be added later
Cons
- No UV sensor as sold; that needs the LB6 version or an add on sensor
- A genuine RL-999 lamp costs about $134 on Amazon every year
- The 40 in chamber needs wall length plus room to pull the lamp
- Not NSF certified

HQUA OWS-12
#3 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.

#4 in Up to 12 GPMFull review
A dependable small home or cabin unit from the biggest name in residential UV, with a real controller warranty. Larger homes need the VH410 or a monitored system.
