Congratulations
on the purchase of the US Water Systems ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection
system! This system uses the most advanced UV technology on the market and is designed to pro-
vide years of trouble free operation with minimal maintenance required to protect drinking water from
microbiological contaminants.
To ensure ongoing disinfection of the water, UV lamps need to be replaced annually with US Water
Systems factory-supplied replacements. US Water Systems lamps are the result of extensive devel-
opment resulting in a highly efficient disinfection platform with extremely stable UV output over the
entire 9000 hour lifetime. Its success has led to a proliferation of non-genuine copies in the market.
The UV lamp is the heart of the disinfection system, and there should be no compromise when it's
time for a replacement.
Why should US Water Systems replacement lamps be used?
• Use of widely available, non-genuine, replacement lamps has been shown to damage the control
module of US Water Systems UV disinfection equipment.
• An increasing number of calls to US Water Systems Technical Support are connected with non-
genuine lamps being used (unknowingly) as replacements.
• Damage arising from the use of non-genuine lamps poses a safety risk and is not covered by
equipment warranty.
• Unless the UV equipment is equipped with a UV sensor (monitor), it is not possible to verify the UV
(invisible) output of replacement lamps.
• Similar appearance to the original lamp and the presence of (visible) blue light does not mean
equivalent disinfection performance.
• US Water Systems replacement lamps undergo rigorous performance testing and strict quality con-
trol processes to ensure that the safety and performance certifications of the original equipment
are not compromised.
So, it is apparent that it's simply not worth the risk! Insist on genuine US Water Systems replace-
ment lamps.
