Viqua 799932600814 UVC Light Bulb for Germicidal Water Treatment

4 Pin Stepped on a Single End - 80 Watt Germicidal Water Treatment Bulb

The Viqua 799932600814 UVC Light Bulb is a 4-pin stepped-on a single End - 80 Watt Germicidal Water Treatment Bulb that gives you a worry-free performance for an entire year. The lamp has 4 pin stepped on a single end base and uses UV-C light to inactivate and kill bacteria, molds, protozoa, viruses and yeasts.

High on quality, the fixture has a long lifespan and is low on mercury dosage. The low pressure mercury arc lamp emits a radiation of 253.7 nm that inactivates the genetics of the microorganisms present in water.

This method of water treatment requires no handling of chemicals and does not need any specialized storage. There is no change in odor, taste and pH or the chemistry of water, which is why this is a preferred method of treatment from chemicals and their byproducts. It is established that UV light at the wavelength of 253.7nm can kill harmful microorganisms such as E.coli, giardia and cryptosporidium that can cause harm.

The light bulb is compatible with germicidal OEM air, and water disinfection filter, UV sanitizer and ultraviolet purifiers.

We offer two versions of this UV-C bulb; a good quality foreign-made generic replacement unit and an ultra-high quality US-made unit. Both lights are guaranteed to be 100% compatible with the Viqua 799932600814 

This bulb is available with a shatterproof coating that in case of damage keeps the lamp glass from falling into the unit where is installed. This results in an easy way to dispose of glass if it shatters. You can select this shatterproof option above.

Do I need shatterproof coating?

Although shatterproof coating can lower the intensity of the UV-C bulb by as much as 15%, it is recommended for applications in which it is crucial to avoid potential glass breakage at all costs. These applications include but are not limited to food processing and medical institutions. However, if glass breakage would be inconvenient but not catastrophic, skipping the costly shatterproof coating is quite alright. After all, we do not use shatterproof coating with our glasses and plates at home. The UV lamp starts instantly and makes use of a coil filament that operates hot.
