What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a UV Water Purification System?
A UV water purification system is a sealed stainless or specialty chamber containing a UV lamp. As water flows through:
The UV light bathes the water, helping inactivate bacteria and other microorganisms.
No chemicals are added, and taste and odor are not changed by UV itself.
It’s typically used as a final disinfection stage after sediment and other filtration.
UV purification:
Does not filter out particles or chemicals—it’s focused on microbial disinfection.
Works best when water is clear and free of significant sediment.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Plumbing + treatment mindset: We don’t just bolt on a UV—we design it to fit your whole system.
Proper sequencing: We place UV after filtration so the lamp can do its job effectively.
Electrical and plumbing know-how: We handle mounting, wiring coordination, and piping neatly and safely.
Local experience: Familiar with wells and outer-area supplies around the Las Vegas valley.
Clear expectations: We explain what UV does and doesn’t do, and how it fits into a full water treatment plan.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Note whether you’re on a well, shared system, or outer-area supply.
Gather any recent water test results, especially biological tests, if you have them.
Think about whether you also need sediment or carbon filtration ahead of UV.
Take a couple of photos of your main water line and water heater/pressure tank area.
Avoid adding DIY chemicals or “shock” products without a plan—they don’t replace a UV system.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask about UV water purification system installation; tell us your water source, property type, and any past bacterial issues or boil notices.
Common Situations Where UV Purification Makes Sense
You’re on a well or private supply and want ongoing microbial protection.
Your property is in an outer or fringe area with variable water quality.
You’ve had past bacterial test issues or boil notices (with proper mitigation).
You want an extra disinfection step in a multi-stage treatment system.
You’re adding filtration and want to include a UV stage for peace of mind.
Water Source & System Review
We review your water source (well, shared, outer-area, etc.), any water test results, and your existing or planned filtration/softening equipment to decide where UV should go in the chain.
Location & Plumbing Layout Planning
We identify a suitable spot near the main water entry, pressure tank, or whole-house filtration, ensuring there’s room for the chamber, lamp access, and future maintenance, plus safe electrical access.
Pre-Treatment Check & Sequencing
We confirm that sediment and other filters are in place (or planned) before the UV, since cloudy or dirty water can reduce UV effectiveness. If needed, we recommend pre-filtration upgrades.
UV Chamber & Plumbing Installation
We shut off the water, cut into the main line, and install the UV chamber and associated valves, making sure flow direction is correct and bypass/isolation options are available for service.
Startup, Leak Check & Functional Verification
We bring the system back online, check for leaks and proper flow, verify the UV lamp is powering correctly, and go over any indicator lights or alarm functions.
Homeowner Walkthrough & Maintenance Guidance
We explain how the UV system works, where the lamp and controls are, how to shut it off or bypass in an emergency, and outline typical lamp replacement and sleeve cleaning intervals.
What’s Included
Cost and timing depend on:
System size and flow rating: Larger homes or higher flow needs require bigger UV units.
Existing treatment setup: Whether you already have sediment/filtration in place.
Location and access: Easy garage/utility wall vs tight or complex mechanical areas.
Electrical access: Whether a nearby outlet or dedicated circuit is available for the UV lamp ballast.
We’ll provide a clear estimate that explains equipment, labor, and any additional recommended pre-treatment, along with expected installation timing.

Insurance & Claims Help
UV systems are usually part of a planned water treatment strategy, but, like any plumbing equipment, they’re connected to your piping and building.
If a leak or related issue ever occurs, we can:
Identify which plumbing component or fitting is involved.
Provide itemized invoices and estimates for repairs or changes.
Answer plumbing-related questions from your adjuster, landlord, or property manager if a claim is opened.
Coverage decisions are always up to your insurance company and policy; we provide clear plumbing documentation as needed.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
UV disinfection is powerful, but it has limits:
It does not remove particles, hardness, or chemicals—it targets microbes only.
Water needs to be properly filtered and generally clear for UV to work effectively.
Lamp and sleeve maintenance is essential; old lamps don’t provide the same UV output.
Power outages can interrupt UV treatment, so it should be part of a broader water safety plan.
We’ll be straightforward about how UV fits into your overall water treatment strategy, and when you need additional filtration or softening.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Code-compliant plumbing: All work is done to Nevada plumbing code and manufacturer specifications.
Proper sizing: We select UV units rated for your actual flow and application—not just a generic size.
Serviceability: Systems are installed so the lamp and sleeve can be accessed for future maintenance.
Clear explanation: We make sure you understand what UV does, how to monitor it, and when to service it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does UV make my water safe to drink by itself?
UV is a disinfection tool that helps inactivate many microbes when properly applied, but it does not handle sediment, chemicals, or all water quality issues. It should be part of a complete treatment approach, especially for wells.
Will UV change the taste of my water?
No. UV treatment is chemical-free and does not add taste or odor by itself.
Do I still need filters if I have UV?
Yes. UV works best when water is clear and filtered. Sediment and other filtration stages are typically installed before the UV system.
How often do UV lamps need to be replaced?
Most UV lamps are replaced on a regular schedule (often annually), even if they’re still lit, because UV output declines over time. We’ll provide specifics for your unit.
Will UV treat hot and cold water?
Yes. UV is installed on the cold main line feeding the home, so both hot and cold fixtures receive UV-treated supply.
Do you offer UV water purification system installation near me in Las Vegas?
If you’re in Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, or nearby outer communities where applicable, yes—Active Plumbing installs UV water purification systems as part of whole-house treatment plans.
