VIQUA IHS22-E4 Ultraviolet UV Water System

VIQUA IHS22-E4

OWNER’S MANUAL

Model: IHS22-E4

Congratulations on the purchase of your ultraviolet (UV) water system! This system uses the most advanced UV technology on the market and is designed to provide you with years of trouble free operation with minimal maintenance.

To ensure ongoing optimal operation, UV lamps need to be replaced annually with VIQUA factory-supplied replacements. VIQUA lamps are the result of extensive development resulting in a highly efficient platform with extremely stable UV output over the entire 9000 hour lifetime. Its success has led to a proliferation of non-genuine copies in the market.

The UV lamp is the heart of the UV system, and there should be no compromise when it’s time for a replacement.

Why should you insist on genuine factory supplied VIQUA replacement lamps?

  • Use of widely available, non-genuine, replacement lamps has been shown to damage the control module of VIQUA UV equipment.
  • An increasing number of calls to VIQUA Technical Support are connected with non-genuine lamps being used (unknowingly) as replacements.
  • Damage arising from the use of non-genuine lamps poses a safety risk and is not covered by equipment warranty.
  • Unless the UV equipment is equipped with a UV sensor (monitor), it is not possible to verify the UV (invisible) output of replacement lamps.
  • Similar appearance to the original lamp and the presence of (visible) blue light does not mean equivalent performance.
  • VIQUA replacement lamps undergo rigorous performance testing and strict quality control processes to ensure that the safety and performance certifications of the original equipment are not compromised.

So, you can see that it’s simply not worth the risk! Insist on genuine VIQUA replacement lamps.

1.3 Water Chemistry

Water quality is extremely important for the optimum performance of your UV system. The following levels are recommended for installation:

Water Quality and Minerals Level
Iron < 0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
Hardness* < 7 gpg (120 mg/L)
Turbidity < 1 NTU
Manganese < 0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
Tannins < 0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)
UV Transmittance > 75% (call factory for recommendations on applications

where UVT < 75%)

  • Where total hardness is less than 7 gpg, the UV unit should operate efficiently provided the quartz sleeve is cleaned periodically. If total hardness exceeds 7 gpg, the water should be softened. If your water chemistry contains levels in excess of those mentioned above, proper pre-treatment is recommended to correct these water problems prior to the installation of your UV system. These water quality parameters can be tested by your local dealer, or by most private analytical laboratories. Proper pre-treatment is essential for the UV system to operate as intended.
