About This System

The VIQUA UV light disinfection system is the industry standard for protecting private well water from bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Using ultraviolet light at the optimal germicidal wavelength (254nm), it destroys the DNA of microorganisms — rendering them harmless.

VIQUA is the world's leading manufacturer of UV water treatment systems and their residential units are NSF/ANSI 55 Class A certified — the highest certification for UV disinfection systems.

Unlike chlorination, UV treatment adds no chemicals to your water and doesn't affect taste or odor. It's the perfect "last line of defense" after iron and sediment filtration for Colorado well water.

Evaluate UV as one stage of a well-water plan

UV treatment is used for microbial control, but effective operation depends on the exact model, flow, and incoming water quality. Clarify the certification or validated performance of the selected unit. A positive bacteria result should also prompt investigation of the well and plumbing with appropriate professional or health-department guidance.

What this treatment does not replace

UV does not remove hardness or dissolved chemicals. Clear water alone does not prove that microorganisms have been controlled. Follow directions for sampling and verification, and use an alternative drinking-water source when advised by the laboratory or health department.

Prepare for an equipment assessment

Provide room for lamp and sleeve removal, an appropriate power supply, and safe service access. Confirm the manufacturer’s permitted installation orientation and flow arrangement. Pretreatment may be needed to achieve suitable water clarity; a UV chamber is not a substitute for removing sediment or correcting all water-quality problems.

Understand ongoing maintenance

Lamp service, sleeve cleaning, alarms, and any intensity monitoring depend on the model. Request a written schedule and instructions for a power failure or alarm. Ask whether a shutoff or other protective arrangement is part of the actual installation; do not assume every unit includes one.

Questions to ask before choosing this equipment

What validated performance applies to this exact UV model?
Which pretreatment and flow limits are required?
What should I do during a power failure or alarm?
How will treated water be sampled to check the original concern?
