Why does the UV-C lamp have to be replaced after 10,000 hours even though it is still working?
Every UV-C lamp has a technical drop in UV-C output. The manufacturer guarantees that the system will still achieve 60% UV-C output after 10,000 hours. The data specified for the systems always refer to this 60% output. However, from a running time of 10,000 hours, the drop in output continues to increase. This means that the lamp is still working, but there is no longer enough UV-C output for an optimum disinfection result.
When do I need service life monitoring?
Lifetime monitoring is recommended for all users who do not leave the system switched on permanently. We recommend changing the lamp every 10,000 hours, as the manufacturer does not guarantee the performance beyond this, i.e. the amount of UV-C radiation dose required for safe disinfection.
How do I know which UV-C system is right for me?
The correct dimensioning of the systems is not based on the maximum daily consumption but on the expected maximum peak rate and is therefore dependent on the performance of the pump.
What should I bear in mind when installing 12V DC and 24V DC systems?
It must be ensured that no power supply units with pulsed voltage are used, as this can cause irreparable damage to the system.
Can the system be operated with photovoltaic panels?
Yes, this is possible. However, the use of a battery is always recommended to light the lamp. In addition, a solar controller should always be used.
