System On/Off: Should I turn off the UV light when I am not using water?Updated 3 months ago

No. The whole house UV light is designed to operate continuously. If the system is turned off, it may be possible for bacteria and viruses to travel through the water chamber and contaminate the distribution lines past the UV system. In addition, frequently starting and stopping the lamp and ballast may reduce its life span.
