VIQUA Arros™ Ultraviolet Disinfection Series
The VIQUA Arros™ is the premium residential UV system from VIQUA, and is available in 9 GPM, 15 GPM, and 22 GPM.
The quality of drinking water changes from day to day, season to season. Even if your tap water is of good quality today, contaminants can infiltrate wells and aquifers, and aging infrastructure can lead to an increased risk of contamination. In fact, boil water advisories are becoming more common, even in large cities.
Not all water treatment technologies are created equal. For example, chemicals can be dangerous to handle and potentially hazardous to the environment, and some waterborne illness-causing microbes are chlorine-resistant. Reverse osmosis wastes on average three gallons of water for every one gallon it purifies and is no longer recognized as a barrier to microbial contamination. Filters can improve taste, but they generally don’t treat microbial contaminants. Ultraviolet (UV) is the simple, effective way to treat microbial contaminants in water.
It delivers optimized performance while minimizing maintenance hassles. VIQUA Arros has been validated through microbial testing. This testing has generated performance data for UV dose delivery to inactivate Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and fecal coliform.
VIQUA Arros systems are suitable for a variety of flow rates and applications in homes, cottages, and light commercial facilities.
Key Features
- Tidal™ Chamber - Aligns the inlet and outlet ports on a single plane for ease of installation. This reduces the necessity for complicated plumbing rerouting and decreases the number of fittings, resulting in a lower pressure drop. A more efficient chamber means a smaller lower power lamp is needed, which means a smaller system requires less energy.
- PolyProtect™ - Blocks UV light so the VIQUA Arros can plumb directly to PEX and other polymer materials. Eliminates the risk of UV degradation of pipe materials
- Rigid Steel Bracket - Simplified mounting ensures improved alignment of bracket and chamber, eliminating sloppy installs.
- Flexible Installation - Chamber installs vertically or horizontally; the controller accommodates water from either direction in plumbing
- Stream™ Technology - Tracks the actual hours per day the lamp is powered and enables timely lamp replacement for continued optimal performance.
- All-in-one Lamp Design - Saves time during installation and maintenance. Includes lamp and quartz sleeve in a single connection ensuring a proper electrical component without requiring a lamp harness.
