Pura 89501 UV Lamp

Description

The Pura 89501 UV Lamp is a germicidal ultraviolet replacement lamp designed to restore effective water disinfection performance in compatible Pura UV water treatment systems. UV lamps use UV-C light to inactivate harmful microorganisms — including bacteria, viruses, and protozoa — without adding chemicals or altering water chemistry. Replacing the lamp annually ensures your system continues to deliver the proper UV dose recommended by the manufacturer.

Key Features

• Designed for Pura UV Systems — Replacement lamp for models such as Pura UVSS-10 and UVSS-10M.
• Germicidal UV-C Output — Emits ultraviolet light in the optimal range to disrupt the DNA of microorganisms, helping render them harmless.
• Rated Life: ~9,000 hours (≈ 1 year) recommended replacement interval for reliable performance.
• Easy Installation — Slide-in UV lamp with a 4-pin base that fits directly into the original UV system socket.
• OEM-Compatible Quality — Designed to meet original equipment specifications, ensuring fit and performance.

Typical Specifications

• Part Number: 89501 / UV Lamp
• Lamp Life: ~9,000 hours / ~12 months
• Wattage: ~37 W (varies slightly by manufacturer variant)
• Connection: 4-pin base for Pura UVSS series systems

✔ Always check your system’s manual to confirm part number and socket type before ordering.

Compatibility

The Pura 89501 UV Lamp is used with:

• Pura UVSS-10 UV disinfection systems
• Pura UVSS-10M UV disinfection systems
• (Some systems are discontinued, but replacement lamps remain available.)

Applications

• UV Water Disinfection: Chemical-free inactivation of microbial contaminants in drinking water.
• Well Water Treatment: Commonly used where bacterial contamination risk is higher.
• Municipal Water Protection: Adds a secondary barrier even with chlorine or chloramines present.
• Residential & Light Commercial: Whole-house or under-sink UV sterilization systems.

Maintenance Tips

• Annual Replacement: UV lamps gradually lose germicidal intensity even if they still light. Replacing once every ~12 months keeps your system effective.
• Handle Carefully: Avoid touching the lamp glass with bare hands — oils can shorten lamp life.
• Inspect Quartz Sleeve: Clean or replace the quartz sleeve during lamp changes to maximize UV transmission.

Why It Matters

The UV lamp is the heart of your ultraviolet disinfection system — providing the energy needed to neutralize harmful microorganisms in water. Over time, UV output diminishes even if the lamp still glows. Replacing with a high-quality lamp like the Pura 89501 helps maintain system effectiveness, ensuring safer, cleaner drinking water without chemicals.
