PURION IBC Universal 17W SPL BS 12V/24V

A UV-C disinfection system is always the last link in a water treatment chain, as the path to the point of use should be kept as short as possible. In particular, water filters provide ideal conditions for colonization by bacteria. The freshly disinfected water would therefore become contaminated again if it were to continue through the drinking water circuit after passing through the UV-C system. Pressure tanks should also always be installed before the UV-C systems.

Lifetime monitoring is recommended for all users who do not leave the system permanently on. A lamp change every 10,000 hours is recommended, as the manufacturer does not guarantee performance beyond that, meaning the amount of UV-C radiation dose necessary for safe disinfection.

The UV system should be permanently switched on for various technical reasons:
1.) The UV system takes about 1 minute to reach full power.
2.) When igniting the lamp, approximately as much energy is needed as for operation over two hours.
3.) Each on and off cycle shortens the lifespan.

The correct sizing of the systems is not based on the maximum daily consumption but on the expected maximum peak rate and is therefore dependent on the pump's performance.

It should be noted that no power supplies with pulsed voltage should be used, as this can cause irreparable damage to the system.

Yes, that is possible. However, it is always recommended to use a battery to ignite the lamp. Additionally, a solar controller should always be used.

No, we recommend flow reactors, as this precisely defines the maximum distance between the water to be disinfected and the UV-C lamp. A tank disinfection system can only ensure complete disinfection if it has a previously calculated circulation. Furthermore, flow reactors are significantly more efficient.
