A realistic maintenance schedule
To ensure the reliable operation of the Viqua Arros 15 GPM UV Water Sterilizer, a maintenance schedule is crucial. Monthly, inspect the system for leaks and check the UV lamp status indicator. If the lamp is nearing the end of its life (typically after about 9,000 hours of use), plan for replacement. Every three months, clean the quartz sleeve to remove any mineral buildup, which can hinder UV effectiveness. Use a soft cloth and appropriate cleaning solution to avoid scratches.
Annually, replace the UV lamp and perform a thorough check of the entire system. Examine the electrical connections and ensure that all seals are intact. It’s also wise to test your water quality periodically to confirm that the sterilizer is effectively inactivating pathogens.
