WSP 20 GPM UV Water Sterilizer, Viqua PRO20

If your well water sometimes smells or tastes off, or you worry about bacteria and other microorganisms in your water, this UV water sterilizer offers a chemical-free way to reduce those concerns. It treats up to 20 gallons per minute, helping protect your household water supply.

The Problem

Well water can carry bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that affect water quality. You might notice unpleasant tastes, odd smells, or occasional cloudiness. These microbes don’t cause visible debris but can make you wary of drinking or using your water directly. If you’ve ever hesitated when filling a glass from your tap, or worried about water for cooking and washing, that’s the issue at hand.

Why It’s Happening

Unlike city water systems that disinfect water with chemicals, well water comes straight from underground sources, making it more likely to contain living microorganisms. The presence of bacteria or viruses in your well is usually confirmed by a water lab test that checks for microbial contamination. This test identifies whether your water has bacteria counts above acceptable levels, which means it needs treatment to reduce those microbes.

What It’s Costing You to Leave It

When bacteria and similar organisms are present, you might notice your water tastes like a swimming pool or has a strange odor. It can also contribute to staining in sinks or toilets and cause buildup that’s hard to clean off. Over time, these microbes can affect the performance of appliances that use water, like dishwashers or ice makers. While it doesn’t cause your water to be unsafe outright, it reduces the quality and enjoyment of your water with ongoing nuisance.

How This System Fixes It

This UV water sterilizer treats your water using ultraviolet (UV) light. As your water flows through the system, it’s exposed to a controlled dose of UV light, which disrupts the DNA of bacteria and viruses, preventing them from reproducing. Think of it as a light-based disinfection that works without adding any chemicals or changing taste. It helps reduce microorganisms by making them inactive before the water reaches your taps.

What This System Can Handle

The WSP 20 GPM UV Water Sterilizer is designed to treat flows up to 20 gallons per minute, suitable for most homes and some light commercial setups. It delivers a UV dose of 40 mJ/cm², a level effective for reducing bacteria, viruses, and cysts commonly found in well water. This makes it capable of maintaining water quality even if your demand fluctuates during busy times. It fits into existing water treatment systems without needing major plumbing changes, standing up to daily use reliably.

What You Actually Get

This system is built on the Viqua PRO20 control platform, a trusted technology in UV water treatment. It includes the UV chamber and control components needed to operate the sterilizer. The exact configuration and installation requirements are confirmed when your system is sized for your water conditions. It does not include a bypass valve or discharge hose, so your plumber can plan accordingly.

Is This the Right Size for You

If your household or facility uses up to about 20 gallons of well water per minute, this unit fits well. For smaller demands, a lower-capacity UV system might be more cost-effective, while larger properties or higher flow needs could require a bigger or additional system. We can assist you in determining the right size based on your water use and quality.

Living With It

UV systems need regular maintenance to keep working effectively. This includes replacing the UV lamp approximately once a year and occasionally cleaning the quartz sleeve that protects the lamp. These tasks are straightforward and require no special tools but should be done on schedule to maintain proper disinfection. Your local plumber can handle installation and maintenance, and parts remain available over time.

What It Won’t Do

This sterilizer specifically reduces bacteria and other microorganisms using UV light. It does not remove hardness minerals, iron, sediment, or chemical contaminants in your water. If your water has these issues, you’ll need additional equipment like water softeners or filters to address them. This system also does not provide a lifetime warranty on components.
