Congratulations on the purchase of your ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection system! This system uses
the most advanced UV technology on the market and is designed to provide you with years of trouble
free operation with minimal maintenance required to protect your drinking water from microbiological
contaminants.
To ensure ongoing disinfection of your water, UV lamps need to be replaced annually with BWT fac-
tory-supplied replacements. BWT lamps are the result of extensive development 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 you insist on genuine factory supplied BWT replacement lamps?
- Use of widely available, non-genuine, replacement lamps has been shown to damage the control
module of BWT UV disinfection equipment.
- An increasing number of calls to BWT 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.
- BWT replacement lamps undergo rigorous performance testing and strict quality control pro-
cesses to ensure that the safety and performance certifications of the original equipment are not
compromised.
So, you can see that it's simply not worth the risk! Insist on genuine BWT replacement lamps.
