UV lamp KING LIGHT 14 W

Product detailed description

KING LIGHT UV lamps are designed to remove bacteria, cysts, and viruses from water using UV radiation. This disinfection method is applicable for family homes, cottages, laboratories, restaurants, hospitals, and also in industry.

The UV lamp can be installed both horizontally and vertically. 

To connect the UV lamp, we recommend using surge protection UV Protect S PO20 in the outlet before the transformer. This will protect the UV bulb and transformer from surges caused by, for example, power surges or thunderstorms.

How the UV lamp works

Water enters the stainless steel tube (UV reactor) and flows through the interior of the tube around the powerful UV bulb, which is located inside a waterproof quartz tube. Ultraviolet radiation at a wavelength of 253.7 nm kills bacteria and viruses and damages their DNA molecular structure, preventing them from reproducing. At the same time, it does not introduce any changes to the chemical composition of the water and does not create byproducts. Ultraviolet radiation is completely harmless, eco-friendly, easy, cheap, and the most modern method of disinfection.

For the UV lamp to serve its purpose, it needs to be operational for at least 10-15 minutes, during which the necessary light frequency spectrum is created that destroys viruses and bacteria. If the UV lamp is not lit for more than 4 hours, bacteria may start to form colonies and gradually grow further down the pipe. For this reason, it is essential to keep the UV lamp continuously turned on. If the water is unused for more than 2 days (for example, due to going on vacation), we recommend turning off the UV lamp. Before using the water, turn on the UV lamp, wait 15 minutes, and then let enough water flow through so that fresh water passes through the UV lamp.

Health safety is paramount. Water disinfection is therefore crucial for health - for instance, a single colony of Escherichia Coli bacteria is enough to cause illness.
That is why KING LIGHT UV lamps, due to their high disinfection efficiency, guarantee absolute certainty backed by 90 years of experience.

Replacement of UV bulb

The lifespan of the UV lamp with continuous operation is one year, after which the UV bulb must be replaced even if it is still lit, because after a year the bulb is already worn out and ineffective (different frequency spectrum).

Never handle the UV bulb with bare hands; always use, for example, a dry paper towel. Handling with bare hands can significantly reduce the lifespan of the bulb.

For easy replacement of the UV bulb, a space at least the length of the UV lamp in the direction of removing the UV bulb is required. To remove the quartz tube, it is necessary to loosen the nut on the opposite end from where the transformer connects. Therefore, it must be easily accessible.

Technical parameters:

• Flow rate - up to 0.48 m³/hour
• 1/4" external threads
• Power consumption 14 W
• Max operating pressure: 8 bar
• Stainless steel UV lamp housing made of Inox 304
• Highly efficient UV bulbs
• New smart power supply/transformer with visual LED red diode and acoustic signal for malfunction and UV bulb replacement (not lit)
• Dimensions: diameter 23 mm, length 300 mm

Individual models of UV lamps differ in maximum flow rate, i.e., the flow rate at which they can still ensure an irradiation intensity of 40 mJ/cm2 according to Czech legislation.

Requirements for inlet water:

• Iron – max. 0.3 mg/l
• Manganese – max. 0.05 mg/l
• Water hardness – max. 2.5 mmol/l
• Mechanical pre-filtration is required.

You should know

Please note that for proper functionality of the UV lamp, mechanical pre-filtration of the water is necessary. Typically, we use mechanical filters from our offer. We recommend using the prefilter PX 50 or PX 80.

For the proper functioning of the device, we recommend installation by our authorized service throughout the Czech Republic. The installation price depends on the complexity of the installation and the materials used.
