Why Buy Genuine Viqua Lamps?
Do I Need to Buy an Authentic Viqua UV Lamp?
When it comes time to replace the UV lamp for your Viqua system, you might come across lamps that look similar and cost less. But if you purchase a non-Viqua lamp, you run the risk of filament base insulation and other issues that would void your Viqua warranty.
What's the Difference Between Genuine Viqua Lamps and Knockoffs?
We are proud to be an authorized seller of genuine Viqua brand systems. Viqua UV lamps are manufactured with high-quality components to exacting specifications to ensure performance and safety.
While knock-off UV lamps may seem to fit a Viqua system, their performance or safety simply cannot be guaranteed. If it’s not branded by VIQUA, it’s not a VIQUA lamp. Only use authentic Viqua brand lamps in your Viqua UV system.

How Often Should a UV Lamp be Changed?
Viqua UV lamps are engineered to last for one year or 9000 hours. Many Viqua UV systems have built-in diagnostics to signal a warning when it’s time to replace the lamp.
UV lamps do not burn out – they solarize. This means that they gradually lose their light wave intensity to about 60% of what a new UV bulb provides. So even though your UV bulb may still illuminate brightly, it is not generating sufficient UVC energy to disinfect water properly and should be replaced. It is important to change the lamp on time so the UV system can effectively protect against viruses and other waterborne microbes.
