UV Sterilizer-Sterilight
Why are Sterilume lamps the best available
-
Environmentally Friendly lamps throughout our entire product offering;
Low mercury (Hg) technology provides lamps with less than 10 mg of mercury including our amalgam lamps (up to 70% less mercury than the competition).
-
All Sterilume® lamps are TCLP* compliant and meet current US state requirements regarding the “Mercury Phase-Out” program.
-
Proprietary LongLife+™ coating eliminates the common problem of accelerated depreciation so often associated with higher intensity lamps ...provides stability, longer life and increased efficiency.
-
All lamps are manufactured in hard glass (quartz) with durable ceramic end cap construction and date and colour coded for easy identification.
-
Flexibility of vertical installation on amalgam lamps.
* Note: The United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) is used by the Federal Government and most states to determine whether or not spent fluorescent lamps should be characterized as hazardous waste
Why buy original factory specified lamps
-
All Sterilight® systems are third-party verified in actual biodosimetry tests (complete bacteriological evaluation of the system, not just electrical output of the lamp).
-
All Sterilight® UV systems are CSA certified with Sterilume® lamps. The use of any replacement lamp other than the original Sterilume® replacement will result in voiding the CSA certification and placing the onus of electrical safety in the hands of the user (this will also affect possible insurance coverage if required).
-
R-Can WILL NOT warranty ANY component of the UV system unless genuine Sterilume® replacement lamps are used in the system.
The use of any lamp, unless specifically authorized by the company, will result in a full voidance of the warranty - NO EXCEPTIONS.
-
Regardless of what another lamp vendor may tell you, R-Can can not guarantee the efficacy of the UV system without the use of genuine Sterilume® UV lamps.
Recycle
-
R-Can encourages the recycling of all spent UV lamps at the end of lamp life. Please refer to www.lamprecycle.org for information on recycling regulations in your area.


Ensuring the safety of your water.
-
UV disinfection for drinking water is an acceptable alternative disinfectant under the drinking water regulations worldwide, as long as the equipment has proof of performance (third party validation).
-
NSF is a certified testing facility that conducts UV validations under the NSF 55 Class A protocol.
-
Sterilight SPV systems have undergone validation with NSF and hold certification to deliver an accepted dose of 40 mJ/cm2.
What is UV?
-
Ultraviolet (UV) light is at the invisible, violet end of the light spectrum. The water treatment industry uses a high-powered form of UV light called UV-C or “germicidal UV” to disinfect water.
How does UV light work?
-
UV-C rays penetrate microorganisms and destroy their ability to reproduce, effectively rendering them harmless.
It’s a simple but effective process, destroying a minimum of 99.99% of harmful microorganisms, including E. coli, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia.
-
Not only is it safe and highly effective, UV does not change the taste, color, or odor of water. It simply removes the risk of illness caused by microbial contamination, making water safe.
Why not use chlorine
-
Chlorine changes the taste and odor of water. Chlorination may also produce harmful by-productsthat are linked to the incidence of cancer.
