Viqua VH200-F10 UVC Germicidal Light Bulb

4 Pin Stepped on a Single End - 28 Watt Germicidal Water Treatment Bulb

The Viqua VH200-F10 UVC Light Bulb is a 4-pin stepped on a single end - 28-watt germicidal water treatment bulb that has a total length of 11.8 inches and an arc length of 8.58 inches.

The lamp bulb has a wattage of 28 watts to give you a worry free performance for 1 year.

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.

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 VH200-F10

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.
