Micro 12C Automate - Advanced 12V UV Water Filter with LED UVC Disinfection
PearlAqua Micro 12C Automate – 12V UV-C LED Water Disinfection System
Includes 240V AC to 12V DC Plug-In Transformer | With Integrated Flow Sensor & UV PulseCare™
Compact | Certified | Smart UVC LED Water Treatment for Boreholes, Springs, Groundwater & Domestic Supplies
The PearlAqua Micro 12C Automate is a compact and powerful 12V UV water filter, designed for domestic water disinfection where space, efficiency, and reliability matter most. Whether you’re treating water from a borehole, spring, rainwater tank, or off-grid source, this system provides proven, mercury-free LED UVC water disinfection at the point of use (POU) or point of entry (POE).
With certified microbial performance and automatic operation, it’s ideal for UK homes, cabins or mobile applications seeking low-maintenance, sustainable UVC LED water treatment that’s validated, tested and built to last.
💡 Designed by AquiSense – World Leader in UVC LED Systems
Manufactured in Kentucky, USA, by AquiSense Technologies – the global leader in UVC LED integration – the Micro 12C is based on over a decade of research, published validation, and patented engineering. Unlike generic or unverified LED UVC imports, AquiSense provides fully validated, certified disinfection performance, all backed by third-party testing and ISO 9001:2015 manufacturing.
🧪 Validated UV Dose Output — Matched to Scientific Inactivation Data
The PearlAqua Micro 12C has been independently validated to deliver consistent UV doses under real-world flow conditions using protocols outlined in the US EPA Ultraviolet Disinfection Guidance Manual (UVDGM).
Its output supports inactivation of common pathogens based on peer-reviewed UV dose-response data:
Pathogen | Health Risk | 4-log Dose Required | Source |
---|---|---|---|
Escherichia coli | Gastrointestinal illness | 8.3 mJ/cm² | Quek & Hu, 2008 |
Legionella pneumophila | Legionnaires’ Disease | 5.4 mJ/cm² | Cervero-Aragó et al., 2014 |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa | Opportunistic infections | 6.3 mJ/cm² | McKinney & Pruden, 2012 |
Cryptosporidium spp. | Severe diarrhoea | 6.0 mJ/cm² | Qian et al., 2004 |
📌 PearlAqua Micro 12C has been validated to deliver up to 16 mJ/cm² at 6.4 LPM — exceeding the UV dose required for ≥99.99% reduction of the above pathogens under typical UVT conditions (98% at 254 nm).
🧠 Smart Technology – Flow Sensor & UV PulseCare™ Built-In
Unlike basic UV systems, the Micro 12C includes an integrated flow sensor and UV PulseCare™ system as standard:
🔁 Disinfection activates only when water flows – ideal for intermittent use
💤 UV PulseCare™ pulses the LEDs during no-flow periods, preventing microbial growth inside the chamber
❄️ Eliminates “hot shots” of untreated water – an issue common with mercury lamp systems that remain on 24/7
🔌 Fully automatic, energy-efficient, and long-lasting
