Ultra Violet Light Systems require Annual PM…
If you are the owner of an Ultra Violet Light System (UV) you should be aware that these systems require Annual Preventative Maintenance (PM).
Even thought you can see that the bulb lights up through the eye portal, the Bulb still needs to be replaced Annually. UV sterilization doesn’t kill Bacteria, it sterilizes it by making Bacteria unable to reproduce. As a UV bulb ages it weakens. Eventually the bulb is unable to create the high intensity UV light necessary to sterilize bacteria, although it does still produce some light.

In addition to replacing the bulb it is also important to check and clean the UV Quartz sleeve and change any pre-filters. The Quartz sleeve cannot be clouded by staining or hardness scale, and cannot have scratches or pits. Anything that might block the light from shining on Bacteria as it flows through the UV is a serious problem. To assure that your UV is working properly it is best to have it serviced by a WQA certified installer. This will insure that the job is done right, and that your water will remain bacteria free for another year.
