Description

MicroFilter G6T5‑6W UV Replacement Lamp

The MicroFilter OPP-UV6W UV Lamp (G6T5-6W) is a genuine replacement ultraviolet germicidal lamp designed for use in MicroFilter OPP-UV6W UV water sterilization systems. This 6 watt UV lamp produces powerful UV-C light that helps inactivate bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms in drinking water — delivering safer, cleaner water without chemicals. UV lamps naturally lose intensity over time, and replacing them periodically is crucial to maintaining reliable disinfection performance in your UV system.

Key Features

• OEM-Compatible Replacement Lamp – Engineered specifically for the MicroFilter OPP-UV6W 1 GPM UV system for proper fit and performance.
• Germicidal UV-C Output – Emits UV-C light that disrupts the DNA of microorganisms, helping render them harmless as water passes through the UV chamber.
• 6 Watt Power – Designed to match the original UV-C output required by the system for effective disinfection at up to 1 gallon per minute flow rate.
• Easy Replacement – Slide-in lamp design allows quick and simple annual replacement during routine maintenance.
• Long Service Duration – Typical rated life of ~9,000 hours (~1 year) in continuous use — replacement each year helps ensure consistent UV performance.

Specifications

• Model: G6T5-6W
• Power: 6 Watts
• Compatible Flow Rate: ~1 GPM (when used in OPP-UV6W system)

Compatibility

This MicroFilter UV lamp is designed for use with:

• MicroFilter OPP‑UV6W UV System (OPP-UV6W) – 1 GPM point-of-use UV sterilizer used to help reduce bacteria, viruses, and cysts in drinking water.

✔ Always confirm your UV system model before purchasing to ensure proper fit.

Applications

• Point-of-Use UV Water Disinfection — Ideal for under-sink, reverse osmosis, or standalone UV sterilization.
• Drinking Water Safety — Helps provide protection against microbial contamination in treated water supplies.
• RO System Add-On — Commonly paired with RO or carbon systems for added biological control.

Maintenance

• Replace Annually: UV lamps lose germicidal output over time even if they remain lit. Annual replacement ensures optimal disinfection.
• Inspect Quartz Sleeve: Clean or replace the quartz sleeve (if present) when changing the lamp to maintain UV light transmission.
• Safety: Handle the lamp by the ends — avoid touching the glass surface with bare hands.

Why Replacement Matters

UV lamps gradually lose their germicidal effectiveness even if they appear to light normally. Regular annual replacement of your MicroFilter OPP-UV6W UV Lamp helps ensure your UV system continues to deliver a sufficient UV dose for effective water disinfection, helping protect your household from harmful microorganisms without altering the taste or chemistry of your water.
