Usability
Bundling the UV rather than selling it as a $1,598 add-on is the sensible call for a well system, and NSF/ANSI 55 Class B certification is the right standard for the job. The caution is that UV is a disinfection stage, not a treatment for what wells actually fail on. Aquasana publishes influent limits for iron, manganese, hardness, tannins and turbidity, and a well outside those needs pre-treatment this system does not provide. Get a well test before ordering.

The Rhino Well Water with UV is the private-well configuration of the Rhino platform. It combines a carbon media upgrade with copper-zinc KDF, a 20-inch pre-filter, a post-filter and an ultraviolet stage supplied as standard rather than as a paid upgrade.
The UV filter is NSF tested and certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 55, Class B. Aquasana states it sterilizes up to 99.8% of bacteria and nonpathogenic viruses, and its certified-products listing puts independent testing at 99.99% of bacteria and viruses and 99% of cysts. UV requires reasonably clean influent water to work, and Aquasana publishes limits for iron, manganese, hardness, tannins and turbidity that should be checked against a well test before ordering.
Capacity is 500,000 gallons or up to 5 years, half the Rhino city-water figure, with a matching 5-year warranty. Rated flow is 7.0 GPM with a 14.7 GPM peak.
