These specialized UVC lamps and bulbs from CureUV produce a high quantity of damaging ultraviolet light that destroys bacteria, molds, viruses, and other microorganisms in water without altering the composition, pH, or taste of water. CureUV’s replacement light bulb is 100% compatible with germicidal OEM air, and water disinfection filters, UV sanitizers, and ultraviolet purifiers. Unlike chemical purification methods, UV light purification is proven safe for human consumption. Our lamps are tested and certified by our expert quality assurance teams that maintain your safety as their primary concern. The lamp bulb gives you 12 months of worry-free operation and germ disinfection. Experts are of the opinion that the UV light bulb must be replaced annually for efficiency as the light bulb may continue to emit UV light even after a year but may not be effective in destroying waterborne microorganisms.
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.
