Luminor LBH6-401A Blackcomb-HO 6.1 UV System NSF Class A 18 GPM

The Luminor LBH6-401A BLACKCOMB-HO 6.1 is a UV water disinfection system certified to NSF/ANSI 55 Class A. With its built-in flow restrictor it is rated at 18 GPM (68.1 L/min) at a UV dose of 40 mJ/cm² and 70% UV transmittance. Class A systems are designed to disinfect microbiologically contaminated water that meets all other public health standards, which makes the LBH6-401A a fit for private wells and other untreated supplies in larger homes and light commercial buildings. It pairs a 101-watt high-output UV lamp with a 316L stainless steel chamber and a UV intensity sensor that continuously monitors the UV reaching the water.

How it works and alerts you

The full-color LCD controller shows remaining lamp life, system status and fault messages. It gives a yellow caution 30 days before the lamp expires, audible and visual alarms for lamp failure or low UV, and a service reminder every 6 months to maintain the UV system and prefilters. Its Infinite Expandability Port (IEP) accepts optional Luminor modules: MOD-SOL solenoid control, MOD-420 4-20 mA output, MOD-RAM remote alarm, the MOD-SHERPA wireless monitor and the LFM ultrasonic flow meter.

Why the rating is 18 GPM, not 40 GPM

The standard LBH6-401 is rated 40 GPM at 30 mJ/cm² and 95% UVT. The NSF Class A rating is stricter: it requires a higher dose (40 mJ/cm²) at lower water clarity (70% UVT), and the integral flow restrictor holds flow to the certified 18 GPM. Do not remove the flow restrictor; the certification depends on it.
