Pros
  • A UV sensor reads the actual dose, so a dirty sleeve or weak lamp shows up before untreated water gets through
  • Can close a shutoff valve when UV falls too low
  • 18 GPM at the full 40 mJ/cm² dose covers a large home or a small business
Cons
  • About $500 more than the plain VP600 for the sensor and valve output
  • The shutoff valve is an extra purchase
  • The 31 in chamber needs a long stretch of wall plus room to pull the lamp
  • A genuine S600RL-HO lamp costs about $170 on Amazon every year
  • Not NSF certified
