Frequently Asked Questions

UV (ultraviolet) water treatment uses a high-intensity UV lamp to disrupt the DNA of harmful microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. This renders them inactive and unable to reproduce — effectively making the water safe to drink.

There’s no chemical taste, and it doesn’t alter the water’s pH, color, or smell — just pure disinfection using light.

Estimate based on the size of house & number of bathrooms in your home.

1–2 bathrooms = 10 GPM. 3–4 bathrooms = 15–20 GPM.

Yes. A sediment and carbon filter is essential before the UV lamp to ensure the water is clear enough for UV light to work effectively. That’s why most VIQUA systems include built-in filtration or a pre-filter setup.

Yes, VIQUA systems are designed to handle well or municipal water. For well water, consider a pre-filter to remove sediment and turbidity.

Not always. If you have municipal water, a softener may not be necessary. However, if you're on a well with hard water, adding a softener can protect your plumbing and improve system performance.

UV lamps typically need replacing once a year, even if they still light up, as their effectiveness fades over time. Filters should be changed every 6–12 months, depending on your water quality and usage.

Advanced Efficiency with VIQUA LightWise™ Technology

What is LightWise™ and Why It Matters

LightWise™ is VIQUA’s intelligent UV lamp technology that automatically reduces lamp power during periods of no water flow. This results in:

  • Lower water temperatures — Prevents overheating, especially in cottages or seasonal homes
  • Extended system lifespan — Reduces wear on components
  • Less sleeve fouling — Keeps UV quartz sleeves cleaner for longer, maintaining disinfection performance
  • Energy savings — Automatically adjusts power output to minimize electricity use

Visual Comparison

  • Sleeve Fouling Test Results

    Standard systems accumulate fouling quickly, dropping transmittance significantly over time.

    💡 LightWise™ systems slow down fouling, maintaining much better performance over 44 weeks

  • Water Temperature After 6 Hours of No Flow

    Without LightWise™, water left in the system heats up by over 50°C (120°F).

    💡 LightWise™ systems reduce standby temperature by up to 19°C (34°F) — ideal for preventing hot water bursts or damage in no-flow situations.

Benefits

Lower maintenance (Up to 60% less maintenance)

• Decrease conditions that contribute to fouling and corresponding maintenance.

• Increase time period between required maintenance

• Eliminate the need for a complicated mechanical sleeve cleaning system

Lower Energy Consumption

• Estimated energy savings of 30% (Typical two unit [PRO20] installation uses 2800 kW/yr)

Lower Operating Temperature

• Water temperature is maintained below 40 degrees Celsius (104 F) in no-flow conditions • Eliminates the need for hot water purging in no-flow conditions
