Designed for residential and light commercial use, this ultraviolet (UV) equipment provides a safer alternative to chemical treatments, protecting your water supply from bacteria and viruses without affecting taste or odor. With a flow rate of up to 5 gallons per minute, the VH150 ensures consistent disinfection, making it an essential component in any water treatment setup.

Key Benefits

• Delivers effective microbial disinfection to safeguard your household water supply
• Maintains water clarity and taste by avoiding chemicals or additives

How It Works

The VIQUA-VH150 operates by exposing water to ultraviolet light at a specific wavelength that disrupts the DNA of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. As water flows through the sterilizer’s chamber, the UV lamp emits germicidal rays that neutralize harmful pathogens without altering the water’s chemical composition. This process effectively prevents microbial growth and contamination, delivering safer water directly to your taps.

Installed as part of a water treatment system, the VH150 works continuously with your water softener or filtration units to provide an additional layer of protection, especially where water quality concerns are present.

What to Expect

Upon installation, you’ll notice no change in water taste or odor—just clean, clear water flowing reliably. In the first days and weeks, the UV sterilizer will efficiently reduce microbial contaminants, giving you peace of mind about water safety. Over time, the system requires only periodic lamp replacements and minimal cleaning to maintain optimal UV intensity and performance.

With proper upkeep, the VIQUA-VH150 delivers consistent disinfection and dependable operation for years, making it a practical investment in your home’s water quality.
