Description
The UV Bulb 6 Watt is a replacement ultraviolet lamp designed for compatible 6W UV water-treatment systems. The lamp produces UV-C radiation used to inactivate microorganisms as water passes through a compatible UV reactor.
This germicidal UV lamp uses T5 clear UV-transmitting glass and produces UV radiation at 254 nm. These specifications are important when matching the replacement lamp to the correct UV system.
The replacement lamp is suitable for replacing a worn, aged or failed 6W UV lamp in a compatible UV water-treatment system. Regular lamp replacement is important because UV-C output decreases over the operating life of a lamp, even though the lamp may continue to produce visible light.
Important: This product is the replacement UV lamp only. The UV reactor, ballast, quartz sleeve and other system components are not included unless specifically stated.

- Chemical-free UV treatment: UV provides microbial control without adding treatment chemicals to the water.
Important compatibility information:
Before ordering, confirm that this 6W UV lamp matches your existing UV system check:
- Lamp wattage: 6W.
- Lamp type and glass configuration.
- Overall lamp length: 228.6 mm.
- Ballast compatibility.
- UV reactor model.
- Quartz sleeve dimensions.
- Electrical requirements.
Do not select a replacement UV lamp based on wattage alone.
The lamp must match the required physical and electrical configuration of the UV reactor and ballast. An incorrect lamp may fail to operate correctly or could potentially damage the lamp, ballast or other system components.
If you are unsure which replacement lamp your system requires, compare the specifications of your existing lamp before ordering.
Installation & handling:
UV lamps should be handled carefully during installation.
- Switch off and isolate the UV system before replacing the lamp.
- Allow the lamp and system to cool before handling.
- Do not touch the glass portion of the UV lamp with bare hands.
- Use clean cotton gloves or a suitable clean cloth when handling the lamp.
- Inspect the lamp for damage before installation.
- Ensure the lamp is correctly seated in the G5 Mini Bi-Pin connection.
- Confirm that the quartz sleeve is clean and undamaged.
- Check all seals and connections before restoring water flow.
- Do not operate the UV system unless the lamp is correctly installed inside the reactor.
UV-C radiation can cause injury to the eyes and skin. Never look directly at an operating UV-C lamp or operate an exposed UV-C lamp.
Professional installation is recommended where required.
Warranty & electrical safety:
Due to the sensitive nature of electrical products, UV bulbs and ballasts do not carry a warranty.
The Water Company recommends installing suitable surge protection to help protect UV lamps, ballasts and other sensitive electrical components from voltage surges and premature failure.
