55 W Submersible UV Lamp Complete Set

The 55 W Submersible UV Lamp Complete Set from Puritech delivers powerful, chemical-free water disinfection by immersing a UV‑C lamp directly into your storage tank or reservoir. Because the lamp operates underwater, it targets and destroys bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms without adding any harmful chemicals. As a result, you maintain clean, safe water in a simple, efficient way.

Key Features

• High-Output 55 W UV‑C Lamp — The lamp emits germicidal UV light that disrupts microbial DNA, effectively destroying 99.99% of harmful organisms.
• Quartz Sleeve Protection — A 23 mm-diameter quartz sleeve encases the lamp, protecting it from water while allowing maximal UV transmission.
• Long Lifespan — Rated for up to ~9,000 hours of continuous operation, which means you can rely on it for many months before replacement.
• Submersible Design — Because the lamp is fully waterproof, you can install it directly in water tanks, rainwater systems, or reservoirs.
• Compact Footprint — The lamp measures ~1,229 mm in length, which fits well in tall water tanks.
• Simple Power Supply — Includes the proper ballast/control unit to power the UV lamp reliably over time.

Benefits

• Chemical-Free Disinfection: Because it uses UV-C light, you avoid chemical additives like chlorine — making your water safer and more natural. H2O Warehouse
• Continuous Protection: When installed in a storage tank, this system disinfects water constantly, helping prevent microbial regrowth.
• Low Maintenance: You only need to change the UV lamp periodically (around every year), and clean the quartz sleeve when needed to maintain performance.
• Energy Efficient: The lamp draws relatively low current for the disinfection power it provides, so it doesn’t significantly boost your electricity bill.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for rainwater harvesting systems, water tanks, agricultural reservoirs, and other in-tank water systems.

Maintenance & Care

1. Lamp Replacement: Replace the UV lamp after ~9,000 hours of use to ensure consistent disinfection.
2. Clean the Quartz Sleeve: Remove scale or mineral build-up from the quartz sleeve periodically (e.g., annually) so that UV transmission stays strong.
3. Inspect O‑Rings: Check and replace O‑rings when replacing the lamp or sleeve to avoid leaks.
4. Electrical Safety: Use a surge protector on the ballast/control unit to protect it from voltage spikes.
