How do I clean and maintain my Viqua UV system?

To ensure optimal performance from your Viqua UV water sterilizer system, regular cleaning and maintenance are important. Over time, mineral deposits can accumulate on the UV sleeve, which can diminish the UV light's effectiveness. To clean your UV quartz sleeve, turn off the system and carefully remove the UV lamp. Then, using a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution, gently wipe the quartz sleeve to remove any deposits or build-up. Dry the sleeve completely before reassembling. In addition, the UV lamp itself has a specific lifespan, often about a year, and should be replaced per model specifications. Always consult the system's user manual for specific cleaning instructions and maintenance schedules to ensure the UV disinfection system operates efficiently and safely.


How often do I need to replace the UV lamp in my Viqua system?

For optimal performance and to ensure continuous disinfection, it's recommended to replace the UV lamp in your Viqua system annually, although some Viqua lamps are designed to work longer. Pay attention to the recommended lamp repalcement schedule as over time, the intensity of the UV light decreases. Regularly changing the UV bulb ensures that the water passing through the system receives effective UV exposure, safeguarding against harmful microorganisms and maintaining the system's disinfection efficacy. It is also important to purchase and install genuine Viqua lamps.


Can I install a Viqua knock-off lamp in my UV system?

Viqua lamps are specifically designed and tested to deliver the precise UV dosage required to effectively neutralize harmful microbes in the water. Off-brand or generic lamps may not offer consistent ultraviolet output or might degrade more rapidly, compromising the water sterilization process. Additionally, using off-brand lamps can void the system's warranty, leading to potential costs in the event of system malfunctions. Genuine Viqua lamps also ensure that you are getting a product that meets the highest quality and safety standards, offering peace of mind that your water remains safe.
