The Siemens LP4580 Replacement Germicidal UVC bulb has a total length of 61.69 inches and has a lifespan of 10,000 hours. With 130 Watt lamp wattage, this UVC light bulb has a peak output of 253.7 nm. When the water is exposed to this short wavelength, it destroys the germs and other pathogens by altering their DNA structure and rendering them incapable of reproducing. Pathogens such as giardia and cryptosporidium along with waterborne microorganisms such as bacteria, molds, viruses and yeasts are effectively removed.

UV purifiers and their lamps are highly cost-effective and do not use chemicals to purify water. This makes UV purified water safe for consumption and does not alter the pH or taste of water. Experts recommend that the UV light bulb must be replaced annually for efficiency as the light bulb may continue to emit UV light even after a year but may not be effective in destroying waterborne microorganisms.
