UV Lamps

Enjoying your efficient, eco-friendly UV water disinfection system but wondering about replacing its lamp?

We have the most extensive range of residential and commercial UV lamps for water treatment systems in Australia!

What Is a UV Lamp?

A UV lamp (also called a UV light bulb) is used within a UV water treatment system. These ultraviolet lamps emit light in the UV-C spectrum that penetrates harmful microorganisms (like bacteria and viruses) in water and damages their DNA. This damage prevents the microorganisms from replicating and causing infection and illness.

Why should you choose this water disinfection method?

  1. There’s no need for chemicals, as the germicidal UV lamp does all the work to clear the water of bacteria through its ultraviolet light waves.
  2. It’s environmentally friendly thanks to not using harmful chemicals, and, in turn, you avoid dealing with chemical residues and byproducts.
  3. The water’s taste and smell aren’t altered.
  4. It’s safe; the UV light bulb is fitted within a case to protect you from exposure.

It’s important to note that an ultraviolet lamp will not rid water of particles without another filtration method. Germicidal UV lamps are for destroying living organisms and bacteria, not filtering out small particles like sediment, dirt, minerals, and heavy metals.

All our products are made of the highest quality to guarantee safety and reliability. We’re Australian WaterMark certified, meaning we’ve undergone rigorous testing and meet the required national plumbing and drainage standards.

Now you’re convinced to choose our UV lamps for water treatment systems, let’s explore them in detail!

Low Pressure (LP) UV Lamps

Low pressure (LP) UV lamps suit applications with lower flow rates and longer exposure time, such as residential water systems, small-scale water treatment plants, and certain industrial processes where water is not rapidly flowing.

These lamps operate at low currents, typically from 180 to 425 mA (milliampere), and their power varies between 10W and 40W (watts).

We have UV Lamp 11010, UV Lamp 11018, and UV Lamp 11020 available in this category.

Low Pressure High Output (LPHO) UV Lamps

Operating between 600 and 800 mA, the output of our Low Pressure High Output (LPHO) UV lamps is approximately double that of standard low pressure lamps.

This higher performance makes them well-suited for larger water flow rates and higher required UV doses, such as in municipal water treatment facilities, large-scale industrial water processes, and extensive aquaculture systems.

Amalgam UV Lamps

Amalgam is an alloy, and spots or pellets made of this absorb and release mercury, maintaining optimal vapour pressure and consistent UV output in UV lamps.

Our amalgam lamps are ideal for high-intensity UV radiation water treatment of municipal drinking water, sewage treatment plants, air-conditioning systems, and industrial exhaust air treatment.

They have higher currents of 1 to 10A (ampere) and their power ranges from 120W to 1000W.

Medium Pressure (MP) UV Lamps

Medium Pressure (MP) UV lamps are known for dispensing large UV doses at high peak flow rates.

Our MP UV lamps have many applications, including disinfecting water and air, breaking down pollutants through oxidation, curing materials like inks and coatings, and facilitating various chemical processes. As these lamps produce multiple wavelengths (polychromatic), they’re also more effective at reducing chloramines in swimming pools.

FAQs About UV Lamps

Are UV Lamps Safe?2024-02-15T14:26:28+11:00

When used correctly in water purification systems, ultraviolet lamps are generally safe. The lamps themselves do not contaminate water or produce harmful by-products.

As UV lamps are contained in a case within the system, there’s minimal risk of exposure to UV light. However, you must still be careful, as direct exposure to the UV light used in these lamps can harm your skin and eyes.

Safety measures, such as proper installation, usage, and maintenance, are crucial to ensure the safe operation of these systems.

How Long Does a UV Lamp Last?2024-02-15T14:26:13+11:00

The lifespan of a UV lamp for water purification varies depending on the type and usage, but typically, it will last anywhere from 9,000 to 12,000 hours. This roughly translates to about a year of continuous operation.

Does UV Light Really Purify Water?2024-02-15T14:25:13+11:00

Yes, UV light purifies water by inactivating the DNA of harmful microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and parasites. This water treatment method is chemical-free, which means it doesn’t alter the taste or smell of the water.

What materials does UV-C penetrate?2024-02-15T14:24:33+11:00

UVC radiation can pass through translucent materials, including water, glass, and plastic. A quartz sleeve is often used to house the UVC lamp, allowing the light to pass through while protecting the lamp itself. This sleeve can also be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance purposes.

How do UVC lamps work?2024-02-15T14:23:19+11:00

UVC lamps work on a simple principle: when microorganisms come into contact with the light emitted by the lamp, their DNA is damaged or altered so that they can no longer reproduce or function properly. Irreversible cell damage occurs, resulting in bacteria, viruses, and other harmful pathogens dying off.

Are UV Lamps Safe?2024-02-09T17:07:39+11:00

When used correctly in water purification systems, ultraviolet lamps are generally safe. The lamps themselves do not contaminate water or produce harmful by-products.

As UV lamps are contained in a case within the system, there’s minimal risk of exposure to UV light. However, you must still be careful, as direct exposure to the UV light used in these lamps can harm your skin and eyes.
