Is the UV light on all the time (24/7) or is it just on when water is flowing?

It's on all the time and makes the filter body hot and eventually it starts leaking. I experienced it twice. First time ( after about 2 months) the joint of the filter's steel casing started leaking. I contacted the manufacturer and they replaced it promptly. Again, it starts leaking from one of the plastic connector and caused damage to floor and ceiling of underneath basement. Have to replace whole drywall and got it repainted.

There are various models. Mine has a flow switch that only turns the lamp on when there is sufficient flow through the filter.

I bought my UV light separate from the 5 stage system I had. I unplug the UV light when not in use. They should make it so the light only comes on when the RO system is working. Yes, the light is on all the time if you don't unplug it.

No, it only has LED lights. I would not have purchased this item if it had UV lights.

I have not turned mine on yet this year, but the vapor is normal since it is warm vapor. I don't believe you see the UV light. There is an indicator light on the front that when lite you need to replace the UV light. (see page 4 of the instructions). I had my original for 5 years and never had to replace the light. Hope this helps.

Unknown. Because the UV is a feature that you can turn off or on, you don't have to use it. The unit itself does a very good job without the UV. You could try calling the manufacturer-their website doesn't mention the type of UV light, but customer service might.

You see ever so little of the uv light from the back bottom of the unit but it is certainly not a concern. The main light seen is the blue led light on the front indicating the unit is on.

I can't always see the steam and it runs blowing air if no steam so that may be what you're seeing. You should see the indicator lights on the front while power is on. While running I can't see the glow of the UV light. So if the reservoir empties, its working. I hope that helps you!

that's a problem...if the water level is adequate and machine is cleaned, light should go off. Have you tried fiddling with removing and reinserting the water reservoir?

You have to take the top cover off, unplug it, and remove the 5 or 6 screws on the top which reveals a small panel. The UV light is under this panel.

Turn on when ever you use lamp. The lights get hot and it keeps the housing cool,preventing over heating. Use the gloves they offer. To prevent exposure to UV . Hopes this helps

UV is on when the button is in, off when it's out. When it's on there's a light that's kinda hard to see through the front inside.

There is an orange light that is on when the heater is active. It isn't very bright, though. I still only see it faintly when it's dark in the chicken coop and I go to put in more water. It is only on, when the heater is actually heating, not always.

I only turn it on for half an hour per day. It doesnt cause a problem for my betta.

In my Carrier High efficiency heating system, there is an external duplex outlet located near the cold air return duct where I installed the UV Lamp. this outlet is hot when the air circulation fan is on, and off when the fan is off. So, my lamp comes on anytime the air in the system is circulating regardless of whether the system is set for heating (winter) or cooling (summer).

You have to go every time you want the water on. You can't set it up for a daily time and it goes off on its own. No.

I am not sure of the highest flow rate, but the faster the rate less effective the uv light will be. I don't think you will do any damage it just won't work right. The slower the water passes the uv light the better it works.

Yes it's comes on everytime there is motion. Day or night. There is an on / off button that enables you to deactivate it if you don't want to use it in the daytime.

Don't know. There is a UV light in the base but on mine it is always on. Pushing the button doesn't do anything.
