A consumer must consider that when buying a UV system you are buying "water confidence". In order to ensure that confidence, the correct replacement lamp is vital to the continued performance of that piece of equipment. That being said if you buy a specific model it is imperative that you replace the lamp with one that has been designed for that model, otherwise how do you even know that the UV system is disinfecting your water?
There are companies in the water industry that are selling "knockoff" lamps targeting residential UV systems that are sold world wide. These lamps are being offered at a very low price with the promise that they operate the same as the UV manufacturer's lamps. This promise is untrue. If a consumer were to install a "knockoff" lamp the "water confidence" that was being offered by the UV manufacturer no longer holds true and cannot be supported by the manufacturer and voids the warranty on Viqua systems. H2O provides only original UV Max and Sterilight Replacement Lamps.
All Sterilight ballasts have an electronic design, offering constant current output to the UV lamps. This constant current allows for consistent UV output, which is what makes for an ideal UV system. The ballasts are designed to deal with variations in voltage and frequency, as well as protect the UV system from electrical transients (brown-outs and current spikes). All Sterilight ballasts and controllers offer both an audible and visual alarm (with the Copper series being the exception, having only a visual alarm), allowing for simple troubleshooting in the field. All R-Can electronic ballasts hold electrical certification from a recognized third party (ie. CSA) before going out to the customer.
