Description
The 55 W UV Ballast with Flow Switch is an electrical control component designed for compatible 55 W ultraviolet (UV) water-treatment systems. It provides the electrical conditions required to start and operate a compatible 55 W UV lamp and incorporates a flow-switch function for monitoring water flow through the UV system.
The integrated flow switch responds to water movement through the connected UV water-treatment system. When water flows through the system, the flow switch activates the flow indication. When there is no water flow, the indicator light remains on, allowing the ballast and UV lamp operating status to remain visible.
The ballast operates from a 240 V, 50 Hz electrical supply and includes an indicator light for visual status indication.
This ballast is designed as a replacement component for compatible UV water-treatment systems using a 55 W UV lamp and requiring a flow-switch function. Clients should confirm compatibility before installation, including the lamp wattage, electrical configuration and ballast connections.

How the Flow Switch Works
The integrated flow switch provides a flow-dependent switching function within the UV system.
When water begins flowing through the compatible system, the flow switch detects the water movement and activates the corresponding switching function. The indicator light provides a visual indication of the system’s operating status.
When water flow stops, the indicator light remains on according to the specified operation of this ballast.
This means the flow switch should not be described as simply an automatic on/off switch for the UV lamp unless the exact switching arrangement has been confirmed for the particular installation.
Why Choose the 55 W UV Ballast with Flow Switch?
- 55 W UV compatibility: Designed for compatible UV systems using a 55 W UV lamp.
- Integrated flow switch: Adds a flow-dependent switching function to the ballast assembly.
- Flow monitoring: Detects water movement through the compatible UV installation.
- Indicator light: Provides a convenient visual indication of operating status.
- 240 V / 50 Hz supply: Designed for the specified electrical supply.
- Replacement component: Suitable for replacing a compatible ballast and flow-switch assembly during UV system maintenance.
- Compact design: Measures 14 × 11 × 8.5 cm for practical installation.
- Water-treatment applications: Suitable for compatible domestic, commercial and water-treatment UV systems.
- Dedicated 55 W configuration: The defined lamp rating helps simplify selection for compatible UV systems.
Important Compatibility Information:
This ballast should only be installed with a compatible 55 W UV lamp and UV water-treatment system.
Before replacing the ballast, confirm:
- UV lamp wattage.
- Lamp type and electrical configuration.
- Ballast connections and wiring.
- Flow-switch arrangement.
- Input voltage and frequency.
- Physical installation requirements.
- Compatibility with the existing UV reactor and lamp assembly.
Incorrectly matched electrical components may result in unreliable operation or damage to the UV equipment.
Electrical installation and wiring should be carried out by a suitably qualified person.
Warranty and Electrical Safety:
Due to the sensitive nature of electrical components, the ballast and associated consumable electrical components should be protected against electrical surges.
We recommend a suitable surge-protection device to help reduce the risk of premature electrical-component failure.
Electrical installation should be performed by a suitably qualified person, with the equipment isolated from the electrical supply before installation or servicing.
