Made in the USA, these high quality lamps from CureUV follow strict quality control measures and are built to work for 10,000 hours of operation. UV lamps are known to emit energy at 253.7 nm wavelength and this energy reacts photo-chemically with the genetics of microorganisms such as spores, bacteria, virus and protozoa. This reaction sanitizes the microorganisms and prevents them from multiplying. The rated life of the water treatment bulb is 10,000 hours after which the germicidal UV output deteriorates though the UV lamp continues to emit light.
