Aquafine UV Lamp 3098LM 60" Double End 254 nm Mauve

Aquafine UV lamps and quartz sleeves are produced from the finest quality materials available in the industry. Over the years, it has been demonstrated that the amount of UV dosage available to the water stream declines as a function of the lamps operating time.

Studies have shown that the degradation of the quartz sleeves, caused by continuous exposure to UV radiation, reduces the amount of UV radiation transmitted into the water stream. Based on these findings, Aquafine recommends the annual replacement of the quartz sleeves, in addition to routine cleaning to achieve optimal intensity, especially for critical water processes.

Aquafine works closely with suppliers to ensure only the best components are engineered into the UV lamps, with matching power supplies for optimized UV output. The less expensive lamps available are typically manufactured from soft glass. While these lamps look and feel similar to their hard glass counterparts, their performance falls short with shorter lamp life and less UV output.

Hard glass lamps are utilized in all Aquafine UV equipment. Some of the key components within the lamp that contribute to the overall performance include:
•  Quality and number of coils on filament
•  Length and position of filament within treatment chamber
•  Location of filament to maximum arc length
•  Ceramic lamp bases to protect against UV oxidation
•  Tight specification for secure fit into the lamp socket and socket retention assembly
