Clean Drinking Water Whenever, Wherever

Most systems available for off-grid living are simply RV water filters, not water purification systems. Average filters don’t prevent most bacteria or viruses from flowing through the water lines. The Acuva Wanderer 2.0 water purification system is the most powerful, low-maintenance water purifier specifically designed for RVs and boats. It employs powerful UV-LED technology to eradicate waterborne illnesses. It’s also easy to install under the sink of your unit and comes with a smart faucet, advanced pre-filter and all the necessary installation components.

How UV-LED Disinfection Works

The Acuva Wanderer RV water purification system employs a two-stage process to purify water. Water is first treated by an advanced pre-filter that removes sediment, lead, chlorine, fluoride and other contaminants, as well as improving taste and smell. Then, water is treated by Acuva’s UV-LED technology to remove bacteria.

Acuva Wanderer™ Water Purifier FAQ’s:

What is the difference between the Acuva Wanderer™ 1.0, Acuva Wanderer™ 2.0 and Acuva Arrow 5?

The Acuva Wanderer™ 1.0 delivers a flow rate of 1.0 L/min – it can dispense 60,000 liters of water in its lifetime. The device exterior is made with high -uality polymer and contains a stainless-steel reactor. The Acuva Wanderer™ 2.0 is an upgraded model of the Wanderer™ 1.0; it has a flow rate of 2.0 L/min and can dispense 120,000 liters of water in its lifetime. The Acuva  Arrow 5 is our bigger system that delivers a flow rate of 5 L/min, dispensing 900,000 liters of water in its lifetime. It is constructed with an aluminum housing and contains a stainless steel reactor.

Can both the smart faucet and my refrigerator’s ice maker line be hooked up to a single Acuva unit?

Our systems are primarily designed for single faucet use (with a Smart Faucet or your own); however, they could also potentially be connected to additional dispense points so long as the flow rate inside the unit does not exceed the certified flow rate for 99.9999% disinfection. We recommend seeking professional advice from certified plumber’s for connection to additional dispense points.

What is the difference between the Standard Pre-filter and the Advanced Pre-filter?

The Standard Pre-filter lasts up to 1000 gallons and removes chlorine, sediments, odor and taste. The Advanced Pre-filter lasts up to 4000 gallons and removes lead, heavy metals, chlorine, mercury, carcinogens, and other contaminants, as well as turbidity, unpleasant odors and tastes.

How often do we need to replace the pre-filters?

The Standard Pre-filter should be replaced after 1000 gallons. The Advanced Pre-filter should be replaced after 4000 gallons.

How long do your water purification systems last?

The Wanderer™ 1.0 can dispense up to 60,000 liters of water in its lifetime, the Wanderer™ 2.0 can dispense 120,000 liters and the Arrow 5 can dispense up to 900,000 liters. Depending on how often it gets used, you can expect the units to last many years.

How do I winterize my water purifier?

To ensure your system delivers quality water year round, please follow these recommendations for winterizing. (Note: Simply draining your water system may not be effective at removing enough water to prevent damage inside the device)

Step 1:

Remove the pre-filter from the system and set it on its end (outlet-down) to drain. Place the filter in a bag and store in a refrigerator or a cool environment until it’s time to flush and use it again.

Step 2:

OPTION A) APPLY COMPRESSED AIR.

Apply compressed air to the inlet of your unit to blow out any and all water trapped in the system as well as any accessories such as flow restrictors or faucets you may have. Repeat this a few times to ensure no water is left in the lines.

OPTION B) USE ANTIFREEZE REAGENT.

Follow your RVs owners manual to drain out your water lines and run special RV antifreeze through the system.

OPTION C) REMOVE and STORE AWAY.

If you do not have access to compressed air or antifreeze, remove the system and flow restrictor (if present) and store in a temperature controlled environment (>4°C) until ready to re-install.

Failure to winterize can results in damage to the system which is not covered by warranty, so please take care to winterize well before freezing temperatures or inclement weather may occur.

What size of hole should I drill in my countertop to install the faucet?

A ¾” hole should be drilled to allow room for the faucet post and cable to fit through.

What is the maximum thickness of countertop can be used for the Smart Faucet installation?

The maximum countertop thickness allowable by the faucet mounting equipment is ½”.

What is the brown ring that comes with the advanced pre-filter?

The brown ring that comes with the advanced filter is not part of the installation. It can be used to optionally flush water through the pre-filter by placing the ring between the filter inlet and a faucet, applying pressure to the filter, and turning on the faucet. Alternatively, the pre-filter can simply be flushed while plumbed in-place.

I purchased the Arrow 5 with smart faucet, what is the small black plastic box included in the faucet box?

With your purchase of an Arrow 5 with faucet, you may have found a black box known as a ferrite. The ferrite is to be installed after you have threaded the faucet cable into the spacer. The purpose of this ferrite is to prevent the faucet and cable from acting like an antenna to receive and transmit faint electromagnetic radiation which may cause interference with telecommunication systems. To attach the ferrite, place the cable inside the ferrite and close it firmly. Tape the key to the ferrite or keep it in a safe place so you can remove it again should you need to adjust your installation or remove your faucet at any point. The included cable-tie can be secured to the cable against the ferrite to keep it in place.

How does UV-LED disinfection work?

When water with harmful microbial pathogens enter the UV-LED reactor, the UV radiation sterilizes the pathogens by disrupting their DNA. High energy UV-C photons inactivate any microorganism present in the water, making them unable to infect or multiply.
