Viqua C-602850-100 UV Lamp and Quartz Sleeve

Description

The Viqua C-602850-100 UV Lamp & Quartz Sleeve is a genuine OEM replacement lamp and sleeve set designed to maintain the performance of your Viqua/Sterilight ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection system. This combo restores your system’s ability to inactivate bacteria, viruses and other harmful microorganisms by ensuring strong UV-C output and clear transmission through a clean quartz barrier.

Key Features

• Complete replacement kit: Includes both the UV germicidal lamp and the protective quartz sleeve.
• Maximized UV performance: The lamp emits germicidal UV-C light at ~254 nm to effectively disinfect water.
• Quartz sleeve protection: High-purity quartz sleeve protects the lamp from water contact while allowing maximum UV transmission.
• OEM quality: Genuine Viqua parts ensure correct fit, optimal performance, and continued system efficiency.
• Annual maintenance: UV lamps lose intensity over time — typically replaced annually — while the sleeve should be cleaned and replaced if it becomes cloudy or damaged.

Compatibility

The C-602850-100 kit is part of Viqua’s 602850-xxx series of lamp/sleeve combos. Although exact model associations vary by suffix, similar combo packs from this series are used in a range of Viqua UVMax and Professional UV systems, such as:

• G/PLUS & PRO10 series (602850-101)
• H/PLUS & PRO20 series (602850-102)
• J/K/PRO30/PRO50 series (602850-103)

Tip: Always verify your exact system model to confirm part compatibility — the suffix (e.g., 101, 102, 103) usually corresponds to the specific lamp and sleeve dimensions needed for your unit.

Specifications

• Part Number: C-602850-100 (lamp + quartz sleeve)
• UV Output: 254 nm germicidal UV-C wavelength (standard for water disinfection)
• Lamp Life: ~9,000 hours (≈ 1 year of continuous operation)
• Included Components: UV lamp and matching quartz sleeve
• Material: High-purity quartz glass sleeve for excellent UV transmittance
• Recommended Replacement: Annually for the lamp; quartz sleeve cleaned at each lamp change and replaced when fouled or damaged

Why Replace Both Lamp & Sleeve

In a UV disinfection system, the lamp generates UV light and the quartz sleeve transmits it into the water. Over time:

• The lamp’s UV output decreases even if visible light remains.
• Mineral deposits or staining on the quartz sleeve can block UV-C transmission and reduce disinfection efficiency.

Replacing both parts together helps ensure your UV system continues to operate at peak performance and delivers the full validated UV dose to your water.

Maintenance Tips

• Annual lamp replacement: Replace the lamp every year (or per manufacturer recommendations) even if the lamp still glows, because UV output diminishes with age.
• Quartz sleeve care: Clean the quartz sleeve during each service interval to remove mineral buildup; replace if cleaning doesn’t restore clarity.
• Handle with care: Avoid touching the quartz glass with bare hands; skin oils can reduce UV transmission and shorten sleeve life.
