The ClearWater Tech LA48 UV Light Bulb For Germicidal Water Treatment is a single-pin double-ended bulb that has a wavelength range of 254 nm. This short wavelength range acts on the genetics of the microorganisms present in water and makes them incapable of reproduction. With ceramic as its base material, the germicidal water treatment bulb has a wattage of 55 watts and a length of 45.2 inches. This light bulb has a life of 10,000 hours and can give you utmost germicidal protection for an entire year after which we recommend that you replace the light bulb even if it continues to emit light.
The quality of the water we use immensely affects our health and wellbeing. This germicidal sanitizer is designed to destroy, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, cysts, and other microorganisms that may create havoc on our health.
This bulb is available with a shatterproof coating that in case of damage keeps the lamp glass from falling into the unit where is installed. This results in an easy way to dispose of glass if it shatters. You can select this shatterproof option above.
Do I need shatterproof coating?
Although shatterproof coating can lower the intensity of the UV-C bulb by as much as 15%, it is recommended for applications in which it is crucial to avoid potential glass breakage at all costs. These applications include but are not limited to food processing and medical institutions. However, if glass breakage would be inconvenient but not catastrophic, skipping the costly shatterproof coating is quite alright. After all, we do not use shatterproof coating with our glasses and plates at home.
