Will it fit? Measure first. Needs at least 20" depth (front-to-back) and 15" height under the sink. Sits on cabinet floor against the left or right wall and sticks out 6" toward the middle.
The ULTRA-UC-DISINFECT is our most-advanced undercounter system designed with chemical-free disinfection technology and mimics clean and nutritious water found in pristine nature. It contains 4 different types of advanced activated carbons for a super-wide range of chemical removal that's unparalleled in the industry, as well as 3 different types of natural mineral-based media for heavy metal and radioisotope removal. It also features an nano-level (absolute 0.05 micron) ultrafiltration membrane for nanoplastics (smaller than microplastics) and microbes. An optional 2nd-generation UV-LED module adds an even greater level of chemical-free disinfection redundancy.
The filtration media in the system was specifically selected to not attract the beneficial minerals already in your water, so they remain. As a result, alkalinity is preserved and gently raised as acidic contaminants are removed and trace natural calcium is released from the filter—unlike artificial ionizer machines.
A built-in flow regulator keeps water from flowing through too fast. That contact time is what lets the media work more thoroughly—a feature most systems overlook.
The result is revitalized water: filtered, minerals-preserved, naturally alkaline and less oxidizing, with reduced ORP (oxidation-reduction potential).
DESCRIPTION OF FILTRATION PHASES:
PHASE 1: (Chemicals & Sediment)
Water enters the first transparent purple chamber containing our SuperBlock™, a proprietary 0.5-micron carbon block cartridge made from our formulation of two catalytic-grade activated carbons and KDF-F® media. This makes it stand apart from all other carbon blocks on the market. The result is a much wider chemical removal range and efficacy. e.g. It can be up to 15x more effective on chloramine removal (one of the harder to remove contaminants), than regular activated carbon blocks; And, due to it's sub-micron density it effectively blocks microplastics and very fine sediment—about 500× smaller than a grain of beach sand. KDF-F® helps protect the carbon from premature fouling—a common weak point in other blocks.
PHASE 2: (Nanoplastics & Bacteria)
Water then enters the second chamber with our absolute 0.05-micron Ultrafiltration Membrane. That micron size is about 7,000x smaller than a grain of beach sand so it can capture nano particles and microbes—such as bacteria, parasites, mold spores and nanoplastics—while the naturally occuring minerals being smaller angstrom-size pass through. That ultra-fine pore size matters more now that plastics in drinking water are known to go below the microplastic range of 1 micron.
PHASE 3: (Fluoride)
Next, water enters the third chamber for fluoride reduction through our proprietary FluorSorb-MAX™ cartridge. It uses an alumina-free, natural calcium-carbon-phosphate formulation that effectively removes fluoride to non-detectable levels in independent testing. Developed over 6+ years to significantly outperform the commonly used activated alumina on removal %, consistency and longevity without stripping beneficial minerals unlike reverse osmosis or distillation.
No fluoride in your water? You still get the benefit of this phase. This unique media also targets various metals and radionuclides and can help raise pH. It works in synergy with the other cartridges resulting in a wider spectrum of coverage.
PHASE 4: (Radioisotopes & Heavy Metals)
In the fourth chamber the water meets our AntiRad-Plus™ cartridge which contains KDF55®, activated zeolite and a third type of catalytic carbon. The zeolite is the same class of mineral used to capture radioisotopes in nuclear cleanup. This phase reduces heavy metals, radioisotopes and additional chemicals, KDF55® also lowers ORP through an electrochemical process, so the water is less oxidizing. Oxidation is what turns a cut apple brown or iron to rust.
PHASE 5: UVLED (Viruses & Bacteria) - optional
As water reaches this optional final phase, it passes through our 2nd-generation UV-C LED. The ultraviolet light inactivates viruses and other microbes small enough to pass through the 0.05 micron membrane in Phase 2. This phase is more warranted for water that is not already treated by disinfectants (e.g. well water) or for extra peace of mind on city water.
HOW UVLED WORKS: LEDs are enclosed (not visible). Filtered water flow turns them on. Target UV dose is about 40 mJ/cm² of UV-C, the necessary level used to inactivate a wide range of waterborne microbes.
Ideal for city or well water. UV LED vs typical glass bulb UV:
1. Maintenance-Free* (up to 10 year service life):
- No glass sleeve to break
- No bulb to burn out
- No bulb replacements
2. Instant-on: no warmup
3. Does not heat the water
4. Saves energy: turns on when water flows
5. UV monitor: audible & visual fault alert
6. Chemical-Free: adds nothing to the water
CITY WATER?: Optional. The city already disinfects with chlorine or chloramine. This UV phase is an extra, chemical-free step at the tap if treatment fails, a main breaks, and/or notice is late. It does not replace a boil-water advisory.
WELL WATER?: Wells are not disinfected unless you shock with chlorine or peroxide, or use ozone. Those methods work but can add byproducts and upkeep, and they can miss organisms from well and plumbing system biofilms. This UV phase adds chemical-free disinfection at the tap. Light can inactivate microbes that reach the system even if they tolerated a chemical treatment. It does not treat the well itself and does not replace well maintenance.
IDEAL WATER PARAMETERS FOR UV EFFICACY :
1. Hardness: <17ppm
2. Iron & Manganese <0.05ppm
3. Turbidity <0.1 NTU
4. Tannins <0.1ppm
CONNECTION & COMPONENTS:
Installs under the sink, usually against the left or right cabinet wall. Standing it on the cabinet floor recommended for easier maintenance.
Required Power & Safety:
1. GFCI outlet (Test/Reset buttons). A GFCI adapter can be used instead of replacing the outlet if yours is not GFCI.
2. Surge protector for US outlets (included), elsewhere, use a local unit.
3. Voltage: Accepts 100–240 V. Outside the U.S., you only need a plug adapter—not a voltage converter.
4. Flood protection Leak-stopper and pressure regulator (included).
*Items 1–3 apply only to the UV-LED MAXIMUM Disinfection option.
Plumbing:
Connects to the cold line under the sink with our adapter. A dedicated faucet uses the sink’s spare hole (sprayer/soap). No spare hole: drill 1/2"(min) - 1-1/4" (max) diameter. (use a pro if unsure).
Components:
We do not cut corners on quality. All plastics are made of BPA & Phthalate-free precision machined, high-strength materials meant for drinking water applications. The system connections (in/out elbows, hex nipples) are made with double o-ring seals for enhanced leak-resistance. All tubing connections are quick-connect type for a much simplied and faster installation process.
The faucet is lead-free brass and the bracket which holds the system together is made of stainless steel with a glossy white finish that will not rust or break over time (as often occurs with regular steel or plastic brackets used in inferior systems).

Optional Accessories: 2-Way Output Splitter (To Connect Fridge Line).
Filter Replacement: Every 6-12 months (dependent upon usage) for optimal performance.
