Viqua - VP600M UV Light Bulb for Germicidal Water Treatment

4 Pin Stepped on a Single End - 60 Watt Germicidal Water Treatment Bulb

The Viqua - VP600M UVC Light Bulb is a 4 pin stepped on a single end - 60 Watt Germicidal Water Treatment Bulb. With an average life of 10,000 hours, the germicidal UV light bulb makes use of 60 watts to destroy bacteria, molds, viruses, and other pathogens present in water.

When water passes through the UV water treatment system, the microorganisms present in water are exposed to the light, and their genetics are disrupted, thus inhibiting their ability to reproduce. This method destroys 99.9% of harmful organisms in the water and does not alter the pH, taste, or chemistry of water in the process. This method is a better alternative to adding chemicals and their byproducts in water. This environmentally and user-friendly method is an immediate treatment process.

The low-pressure mercury arc lamps emit a short wavelength of 253.7nm that destroys the genetics of the microorganisms present in water.

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 - VP600M

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.
