Pros
  • 26 GPM at the full 40 mJ/cm² dose, enough for a farm, irrigation on the same line or a small business
  • A UV sensor reads the actual dose and can drive a shutoff valve on low UV
  • 1.5 in ports keep pressure loss low at high flow
Cons
  • The 45 in chamber needs a lot of wall and room to pull the lamp
  • 1.5 in ports mean reducers on most home plumbing
  • The shutoff valve is an extra purchase
  • A genuine S950RL-HO lamp costs about $185 on Amazon every year
  • Not NSF certified
