SovSafe SW60 UV Steriliser
A compact point-of-use UV steriliser for a single outlet: a 270 mm AISI 304 stainless chamber and one T510 UV-C lamp deliver 0.22 m³/h at a 30 mJ/cm² dose, sized for under-sink filters, water dispensers and vending machines.
About the SovSafe SW60 UV Steriliser
The SovSafe SW60 treats water where it is drawn. A compact 270 mm AISI 304 stainless chamber and a single T510 UV-C lamp deliver 0.22 m³/h at a 30 mJ/cm² dose. Disinfecting at the point of use removes the risk of recontamination downstream of a central plant.
At 270 × 52 × 90 mm and 1.3 kg, it fits inside a sink cabinet or dispenser housing. It is sized for under-sink filters, water dispensers and vending machines.

Typical applications
Who the SovSafe SW60 is for
- Under-sink filter systems that want a UV stage on a single outlet.
- Water dispensers and vending machines.
- Sites with limited room: the unit is 52 mm wide and weighs 1.3 kg.
- Anyone wanting chemical-free treatment with no change to taste or odour.
How the SovSafe SW60 UV Steriliser works
The datasheet shows five steps: pre-filtered feed water, the quartz sleeve, the T510 UV-C lamp, the 30 mJ/cm² dose, and disinfected water out.
UV-C at 254 nm disrupts the DNA of bacteria and viruses so they cannot replicate, inactivating up to 99.9% of the microorganisms present. Nothing is dosed into the water and nothing is left behind.
Effectiveness depends on the light reaching the organism, so mechanical pre-filtration ahead of the unit is required. The lamp runs permanently rather than cycling with demand, which the datasheet says protects lamp and ballast life.
Which one should you choose?
Both SovSafe units use UV-C, with no chemicals. The right one depends on whether you are treating a whole supply or a single outlet.
SovSafe SW24
You need to treat a whole supply at up to 5.4 m³/h: large residences, boutique hotels and cafés, on a 1.5 inch stainless steel unit.
SovSafe SW60
You need to treat a single outlet at up to 0.22 m³/h: under-sink filters, dispensers and vending machines, in a unit 270 mm long.
Installation and servicing
The unit comes with the AISI 304 chamber, a quartz sleeve (Ø24.5 × 250 mm), a T510 UV lamp (Ø18 × 210 mm) and a power adaptor (electronic ballast). It has ¼ inch NPT inlet and outlet connections, works up to 8 bar and +4 to +30 °C, and draws 10 W at 230 V.
Maintenance is annual: replace the lamp each year and flush the sleeve at each service. The datasheet lists replacement parts for the lamp, the sleeve and the ballast.
The datasheet says no lamp-failure indicator is fitted on this model. Where lamp-status monitoring is needed, it points to the SovSafe E, ET or EB series. Ask us about monitoring when you enquire. The survey is chargeable and is credited back if you go ahead.
SovSafe SW60 UV Steriliser questions answered
What is the SW60 for?
Disinfecting water at a single outlet, such as under-sink filters, water dispensers and vending machines.
How much water can it treat?
Up to 0.22 m³/h (60 GPH) at a 30 mJ/cm² UV dose.
How big is it?
270 × 52 × 90 mm and 1.3 kg, so it fits inside a sink cabinet or dispenser housing.
Does the water need filtering first?
Yes. Mechanical pre-filtration ahead of the unit is required for UV to work.
How often does the lamp change?
Once a year. The lamp is rated for up to 9,000 hours, about a year of continuous service, and the sleeve is flushed at each service.
Does it have a lamp-failure alarm?
No. The datasheet says no lamp-failure indicator is fitted. Where lamp-status monitoring is needed, it points to the SovSafe E, ET or EB series.
What power does it need?
230 V, 50/60 Hz at 10 W. The lamp runs permanently.
What connection does it have?
¼ inch NPT inlet and outlet.
What are the feed water limits?
Turbidity 0.58 mg/L, iron 0.3 mg/L, manganese 0.05 mg/L, hydrogen sulphide 0.05 mg/L and total hardness 120 mg/L as CaCO₃.
What warranty does it have?
The datasheet does not state a warranty period. We confirm the warranty terms at survey.
Do you supply, install and maintain it?
Yes. We supply and install it, and offer a Comprehensive Maintenance plan with consumables. The survey is chargeable and is credited back if you go ahead.

Across most of southern and eastern England, mains water is very hard. Rain filtering through chalk and limestone dissolves calcium and magnesium, and that scale coats heating elements, so we size every system to your supply and your equipment.
