Viqua S200RL-HO UV Replacement Lamp - High Output OEM Bulb for VH200 Systems, 12-Month Life

The Viqua S200RL-HO is the genuine high-output OEM UV replacement lamp designed to restore your Viqua VH200-series system’s ultraviolet output and fit exactly into compatible housings.

If your Viqua water treatment system is showing a lamp-worn indicator or has reached the end of its service year, choosing the correct replacement lamp matters. This S200RL-HO bulb is made by Viqua to the same specifications as the original equipment, so it delivers the electrical and optical compatibility your system expects without modifications. Installing a genuine lamp helps preserve system reliability and aligns with manufacturer guidance for annual bulb replacement.

How will this bulb fit my existing Viqua system?

The S200RL-HO is manufactured as a direct, drop-in replacement for several Viqua models. It matches the original lamp’s length, connectors, and operating characteristics so you can swap it without adapting the chamber or ballast. Always confirm your unit model for full compatibility.

• Exact replacement for VH200 UV System
• Compatible with SC-200, SCM-200, SP200-HO, SPV-3.5
• Also fits discontinued SPV-200 systems designed for the HO lamp
• Same connector type and lamp length as OEM specifications

How often should I replace the Viqua S200RL-HO lamp?

Viqua recommends replacing the lamp every 12 months to maintain proper UV intensity. Lamps gradually lose UV-C output over time even if they still light, so annual replacement keeps the system performing as designed. Replacing on schedule also helps avoid warranty or service issues.

• Annual replacement interval advised
• Monitor hours or your system’s lamp-life indicator
• Replace sooner if glass is cracked or lamp fails to light

What performance can I expect from a high-output replacement bulb?

This high-output (HO) lamp is engineered to supply consistent UV-C irradiance suitable for the Viqua units it was designed for. It provides the optical power and spectral output required to meet the original system performance parameters under normal operating conditions. Using the correct HO lamp helps maintain the system’s intended treatment capability as water flows through the chamber.

• Engineered to deliver stable UV-C output over rated life
• Matches ballast and chamber design for reliable operation
• Supports system’s designed flow-rate and contact-time characteristics

Is installation difficult and what should I check during replacement?

Installation is straightforward and typically requires only basic steps: shut off power, remove the old lamp, and insert the new one following manufacturer instructions. No special tools or professional service are necessary for a standard replacement, though wearing gloves and avoiding fingerprints on the glass will extend lamp life. Also inspect the quartz sleeve and O-rings during the change to ensure a proper seal and clear UV transmission.

• Power down system before replacing lamp
• Handle lamp with gloves or a clean cloth to prevent oil deposits
• Inspect quartz sleeve and replace sleeve or seals if damaged
• Test system operation after reassembly

Who is this for: Homeowners, service technicians, and facility managers who own Viqua VH200-series and compatible UV systems and want a guaranteed OEM fit and performance. Choose the Viqua S200RL-HO when you need an authorized high-output replacement lamp that installs easily, preserves system design parameters, and follows manufacturer replacement recommendations. If you’re unsure about model compatibility, check your system label or consult installer documentation before ordering.
