WEDECO/Ideal Horizons – SSW-20 UV Light Bulb for Germicidal Water Treatment
Guaranteed Replacement Ultraviolet (UV) Bulb – 4 Pin on a Single End – 38 Watts – 31.89 Inch Length Lamp – Worry-Free Performance for 1 Year
The Wedeco/Ideal Horizons – SSW-20 UV Light Bulb For Germicidal Water Treatment is a four-pin on a single-end lamp bulb. The UV bulb has a wattage of 38 watts and gives you a worry-free performance for an entire year. The germicidal lamp bulb features a wavelength range of 254nm that acts on the genetics of the microorganisms present in water and renders them harmless.
The UV lamp bulb has an average lifespan of 10,000 hours after which we recommend that you replace the lamp bulb. The lamp uses UV-C light to inactivate and kill bacteria, molds, viruses, and other pathogens present in water. Studies show that UV water purification has the ability to destroy 99.9% of 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.
