VIQUA Ultraviolet is a reliable, chemical-free way to disinfect your water. Formerly marketed as Sterilight / UV Max.
Ultraviolet (UV) is a safe, clean, and simple method of assuring that water is free of bacteria. It is a proven technology with a long history of providing excellent, microbe-free drinking water for residential, governmental and commercial users.
Although in some applications the initial cost is a bit more than chlorination, ultraviolet's low operating cost ensures that it quickly pays for itself. Upkeep is normally just an annual lamp change, and with VIQUA units, changing the lamp is as easy as changing a light bulb in your home.
VIQUA UV water purifiers are manufactured in Canada and have for years been a favorite the world over. Previously marketed under the brand names Sterilight and UV Max, VIQUA units carry a decades-old reputation for simplicity, durability, and flawless performance. Made of sturdy polished stainless steel, VIQUA ultraviolet systems provide many years of trouble-free service.
All VIQUA UV purifiers provide a much stronger than necessary UV dosage of 30 mJ/cm2. (For reference, E. coli, giardia, and crypto are destroyed at less than 7 mJ/cm2.)
The UV units on this page are primarily from VIQUA's most popular home treatment series. As factory-direct VIQUA dealers, however, we can supply all units and parts for VIQUA, Sterilight and UV Max units on short notice.
Please call or email if we can be of assistance.
Ultraviolet for City Water Customers
While ultraviolet disinfection was once used mainly with non-chlorinated well water, UV is becoming much more common for city water users. As municipal water infrastructure ages and breaks in pipes and natural events like flooding cause more frequent “boil water” alerts, more and more city water users are relying on ultraviolet to provide a final barrier of protection from bacteria.
With a UV unit installed in your home, you can ignore “boil water” warnings. You can also forget about cysts like giardia and cryptosporidium that are not easily controlled by chlorination.
