Aquatrol ats8-246 Uv Replacement Bulb 39W DWS15

Product Description

The AQUATROL ats8-246 is a germicidal UV-C replacement lamp designed for ultraviolet water purification systems. Rated at 39 watts and 425 milliamps (mA), it emits a 253.7 nm UV-C wavelength that neutralizes bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms in the water stream. The lamp uses a 1-pin double-ended base for secure electrical contact and straightforward installation. A service life of up to 10,000 hours reduces replacement frequency and lowers ongoing maintenance costs. The ceramic construction supports stable output throughout the lamp's rated life. This bulb is a direct replacement for the DWS15 system rated at 15 GPM.

This lamp is suited for a wide range of UV purification applications including drinking water treatment, well water systems, pools, spas, aquaculture, beverage and food processing, municipal wastewater, and industrial environments such as factories, farms, hospitals, hotels, laboratories, and ships. It operates at 115 volts and fits purification units requiring a 39-watt, 1-pin double-ended UV-C lamp. Residential and commercial water treatment professionals both install this lamp as a routine service item.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement UV-C lamp for the DWS15 purification system rated at 15 GPM. Suitable for any application requiring a 39-watt, 115-volt, 1-pin double-ended UV-C germicidal lamp.

Installation Notes

UV lamp replacement is typically performed by water treatment technicians or licensed plumbers. Always shut off power to the purification unit and close the inlet water valve before removing the spent lamp. Handle the lamp with clean gloves to avoid skin oils on the quartz sleeve, which can reduce UV transmission. Verify the replacement interval against the manufacturer's service schedule — UV output degrades before the lamp physically fails, so hour-based replacement is recommended even if the lamp is still lit.
