UVMax D4 Premium ControllerViqua UVMax D4 Series UV sterilizers are the cornerstone of Viqua's residential product line and are the best-selling UV sterilizers in the world today. The D4 Premium takes the UVMax tradition to a new level by adding a full color LCD display to the most popular UV system ever. The D4 Premium is designed to treat bacteria (such as e.coli and coliform), viruses, and other microbiological contaminants including giardia (beaver fever) and cryptosporidium without the use of chemicals. It is suitable for the treatment of private wells and surface water supplies, as well as municipal water for those seeking a higher level of confidence in the safety of their water supply. The D4 Premium provides a UV dose of no less than 40 mJ/cm2 for flow rates up to 9 gallons per minute making it suitable for virtually all residential applications with up to 3 bathrooms (based on a UVT level of 95% and at the end of lamp life).

The UVMax D4 Premium is manufactured by Viqua, the residential and light commercial division of Trojan Technologies, the world leader in UV water disinfection technology. Viqua has the largest installed base of UV sterilizers in the world spanning some 600,000+ systems. Trojan is ISO9001:2008 registered and has more than 800 employees in 8 countries. Like all Viqua systems, the D4 Premium is manufactured in Canada and uses UV lamps custom-manufactured in the USA.

Key to the D4 Series' long-standing popularity is its brand reputation, feature-rich controller, and no-tools maintenance. The high output lamp results in a system with a very compact size relative to its treatment capacity, and its constant current power supply ensures a uniform UV dose even when the source power supply fluctuates. The new LCD display makes all important system information available at a glance.

UV disinfection is safe, effective, economical, and best of all, does not add undesirable chemicals to your water like chlorine or chloramine.

Not all UV systems are created equal...A good UV sterilizer is far more than a UV lamp in a tube. You rely on your UV sterilizer to protect the quality and safety of your drinking water and the health of your family. You deserve the best insurance that you can buy for your money. Viqua and its parent company, Trojan Technologies, are literally the world leaders in UV technology. Their systems are backed by decades of bio-assay validation, computer-aided flow dynamics testing, and millions of dollars in lamp and ballast/power supply research and product development. The result is a product that you can have confidence in to work when you need it.

Proper pre-treatment is important to ensure that your UV system performs at its best. See UV Pre-Treatment Requirements for details.

Why UV? - UV Advantages

UV water treatment offers many advantages for the treatment of microbiological contaminants like bacteria (including coliform and e.coli), viruses, molds, algae, yeast, and oocysts like cryptosporidium and giardia. Every year, these contaminants are responsible for thousands of serious illnesses due to the failure of city treatment plants or consumption of untreated well or surface water.

Unlike other disinfection options, UV sterilizers do not add any chemicals to the water, do not produce harmful by-products (THMs and HAs), and do not alter the taste, pH, mineral content, or other properties of the water. Accordingly, in addition to producing safe drinking water, UV disinfection is not harmful to your plumbing and septic system. Furthermore, it is easy and cost-effective to install and maintain without any special training.

UV sterilizers are one of the most popular and respected water treatment technologies in use today. They can be found in a wide range of water treatment applications ranging from simple under sink water filters to huge city water treatment plants.

With the infrastructure of cities all over North America crumbling under neglect and budget constraints, many customers have asked us if there was a product that they could add to their water system that would provide them with additional insurance and peace-of-mind against the possibility of a failure of their municipal water treatment system. These concerns have arisen due to several high-profile cases of contamination in city water supplies across the continent, some of which have resulted in illness and even death. UV disinfection is a great option to provide this extra level of insurance in your water supply.

* For most residential applications, we recommend a UV dose of at least 40 mJ/cm2. Flow rate capacities listed are based on the stated dosage, 95% UV transmittance (UVT), and end of lamp life. If your UV transmittance is between 75% and 95%, we generally recommend that you increase the size of your UV sterilizer. A good rule of thumb in such cases is to choose a UV sterilizer with about 50% more flow rate capacity than you need, however, if you would like assistance in selecting an appropriate model for your conditions, please feel free to call us toll free at 1-866-376-2690.



Pre-Treatment Requirements

Minimum pre-filtration shall consist of a 5 micron sediment filter. All UV sterilizers require sediment pre-filtration to reduce or eliminate the possibility that a targeted contaminant could "hide" behind a sediment particle in the "shadow" of the UV light and therefore not receive a full dose of UV light. Accordingly, the manufacturer strongly recommends sediment pre-filtration down to a level of 5 microns or smaller.

Water exceeding 120 ppm in hardness (7 grains per gallon) should be softened or treated with a salt-free hard water conditioner to reduce the risk that hard water mineral scale will build-up on the UV sleeve thereby reducing UV light distribution into the UV chamber. Similarly, iron levels exceeding 0.3 ppm or manganese levels exceeding 0.05 ppm should also be treated to prevent staining of the UV sleeve.

Elevated levels of certain other contaminants, such as tannins, can cause a reduction in UV transmittance (the ability of the water to transmit UV light). If the UV transmittance (UVT) of your water is less than 75% after the above-mentioned pre-treatment, activated carbon filtration may be desirable to improve UV transmittance. The majority of deep wells have a UVT of 85% or greater. If your UVT is unknown, select a model with a higher flow rate capacity than the one you originally sized at 95% UVT (this will provide a higher UV dose at your desired flow rate), or add an activated carbon pre-filter to your system.

We recommend that you have your water tested for the following parameters before selecting a UV sterilizer. Proper pre-treatment to ensure that your water meets these parameters will maximize the performance of your UV system. It will also reduce your maintenance requirements. If your conditions do not meet these parameters, please call us toll free at 1-866-376-2690 to discuss pre-treatment options or to discuss how the performance of your UV system will be affected.

.
Easy to Use5 Stars
I looked a lot of UV systems before I decided on this unit mainly because the manufacturer has been around a long time and I liked the color display. Our UV has been installed now for about 2 months with no problems. My Husband did the installation himself in about an hour. HomePlus Water had best price guarantee and knew a lot about the product when I asked questions. Thanks! - Robin J
As expected and more 5 Stars
My family recently moved to the country and I did not feel safe about our water supply. I bought this model because of the brand and I liked the idea of having a more modern control screen so I picked this model over the D4. The unit was easy to install and the control is easy to use. I like the maintenance info that you can access through the controller screens. Seems well made. - Colin Franks
Should have tried this FIRST 5 Stars
The UV light killed 100% of the bacteria in our water. We tried hydrogen peroxide, charcoal filters, softener and green filter. Non worked until we attached the UV. Water companies won't tell you this because it would hurt their sales on all their other experiments with your water. - RL

How Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection Works

How the Viqua UVMax D4 Premium UV Sterilizer works

UV sterilizers are an innovative technology that deactivate bacteria, viruses, and other microbiological water contaminants without the use of chemicals.

A great way to understand a UV sterilizer is to consider the effect of ordinary sunlight when we spend too much time outdoors in the sun - we can get a sunburn and our skin can be damaged. UV water disinfection is a similar process, except that it is dramatically more powerful than sunlight. A special lamp, surrounded by a quartz glass sleeve inside the stainless steel chamber that the water flows through, produces concentrated UV light at a specific wavelength tested to be the most damaging to microorganisms. Inside the chamber, the microbes are exposed to the UV light which damages their DNA. Once the DNA of the organism is damaged, the microorganism is unable to regulate its functions and reproduce. It either dies or is no longer able to reproduce and cause illness. We call this inactivation.

Just as the extent of your sunburn can vary depending on how much time you spend in the sun and the intensity of the sunlight, the amount of UV light the contaminants are exposed to determines the effectiveness of the UV sterilizer. This is known as the UV dose. The 2 factors that contribute to UV dose are the exposure time (which is directly related to the flow rate of the water through the UV chamber), and the intensity of the UV light (related to the effectiveness and design of the UV lamp and chamber, the age of the lamp, the clarity of the sleeve, and the clarity of the water being treated). We refer to the clarity of the water as UV transmittance or UVT. It is important to note that water with a high level of organics can sometimes appear virtually clear but have poor UVT (since many organics can absorb UV light). We recommend that you have the UVT of your water tested to ensure you are getting the right level of UV treatment.

UV Dose = UV Intensity x Exposure Time (Flow Rate)

To ensure a high UV intensity, it is important that the UV sleeve be cleaned periodically and that the water is properly pre-treated to remove minerals that can foul the UV sleeve (hardness, iron, and manganese). It is also important to pre-treat to remove sediment as well as organics and tannins that could absorb UV light. Pre-filtration of sediment to a minimum level of 5 microns is required by all UV manufacturers.

As a UV lamp ages, the intensity of the UV light it produces will decline. UV manufacturers test the performance of their UV systems to ensure that they are capable of safely treating the water based on the UV output of their lamp at the end of its stated life. Beyond this point, the UV lamp might still be illuminated, but the specific wavelength of UV light might not be intense enough to safely sterilize the water. This is why it is very important to replace the UV lamp based on the manufacturer's stated lamp life. Most UV lamps have a service life of 9,000 hours or 1 year.

Many of our competitors advertise the capacity of their UV sterilizers based on a dosage of 30 mJ/cm2. We provide this information for comparative purposes, however, we strongly recommend that you size your UV sterilizer based on a dosage of 40 mJ/cm2. This ensures better disinfection when the UVT is less than optimal and provides extra protection against more resistant viruses. See our UV dose chart for a list of UV dosage levels required to treat for common bacteria and other waterborne pathogens.

With proper pre-treatment and scheduled lamp replacement, UV disinfection is a highly effective and economical means of disinfecting drinking water. It is the most popular disinfection technology for well water and other private water supplies. It is also growing in popularity as a whole house treatment for homes connected to a city water supply as homeowners seek additional assurance that their water supply is safe, especially in light of recent prominent infrastructure failures in the news across the country.

Installation, Manuals & Resources

We recommend that UV sterilizers be installed by a licensed plumber; however, your warranty is valid as long as your system is installed in accordance with local plumbing codes and the manufacturer's Owner's Manual. For a homeowner with basic plumbing experience, the installation of a UV sterilizer is relatively simple.

We generally recommend that all UV sterilizers be installed with the treatment chamber in a vertical position, however, it is acceptable to install the UVMax D4 Premium horizontally. You will need access to a nearby standard electrical outlet to power the unit.
