VIQUA ultraviolet water systems
Aqua Purify distributes and integrates VIQUA ultraviolet water treatment. A useful equipment proposal starts with the application, water source and required flow, then considers the operating conditions and features of the selected model.

VIQUA ultraviolet disinfection for professional sites
VIQUA designs ultraviolet systems that treat water physically, without adding chemicals. Aqua Purify distributes VIQUA systems and their replacement parts, from compact units for a single point of use to high-flow reactors with UV monitoring for commercial and industrial sites.
Before choosing a UV system
- Water source: mains, well, borehole or stored water
- Peak flow to be treated, in m³/h or L/min
- UV transmittance (UVT), iron, manganese and hardness, which affect lamp performance and sleeve fouling
- Pre-filtration upstream of the reactor, usually 5 microns
- Monitoring needs: UV sensor, alarms, solenoid valve or remote signalling
Frequently asked questions about VIQUA UV systems
How often should the UV lamp be replaced?
Lamps are generally replaced after 12 months of continuous operation, because their UV output decreases before they stop lighting. Follow the interval given in the manual of your model.
Why clean or replace the quartz sleeve?
The sleeve separates the lamp from the water. Scale, iron or deposits on its surface reduce the UV dose reaching the water, so it is inspected at each lamp change and replaced when damaged or permanently fouled.
Is filtration needed before a UV system?
Yes. Particles can shield microorganisms from UV light, so a sediment pre-filter is installed upstream. Depending on the water analysis, softening or iron treatment may also be needed.
How do I order the right replacement lamp?
Use the model on the system label or the reference printed on the old lamp. Replacement lamps and lamp-and-sleeve kits are listed in the catalogue by VIQUA part number.
