Features and Benefits of Arros UV
1. Easy Installation with Tidal™ Chamber 
- Ease of Installation: The “T” shape of the chamber (or Tidal™ chamber) aligns the inlet and outlet ports on a single plane, reducing the need for complex plumbing and fitting connections.
- Efficiency: Limits fittings and reduces pressure drop, requiring less energy through its efficient chamber with a lower power lamp.
2. PolyProtect™
Material Compatibility: Blocks UV light, allowing direct plumbing to PEX and other polymer materials, eliminating UV degradation risks.
3. Simplified Mounting 
Improved Alignment: Quick-mount bracket quickly anchors to the wall, which saves time, ensures a straight line, and eliminates sloppy installations.
4. Flexible Installation
- Versatile Setup: UV chamber installs vertically or horizontally, with a controller that accommodates water flow from either direction.
5. Stream Monitoring™ 
- Timely Maintenance: Tracks actual hours the lamp is powered, enabling timely replacement for continued optimal performance.
- User-friendly LCD touchscreen: helps to identify replacement parts and access dealer contact information.
6. All-in-One Lamp Design 
Simplified Design: Combines the lamp and quartz sleeve in a single connection, ensuring proper electrical components without requiring a lamp harness.
- Saves Time: The Threaded plug allows for quick and clean draining during installation and maintenance.
7. Versatile Application:
Perfect for a wide range of whole-home, point-of-entry water treatment solutions in homes, cottages, or OEM applications.

Arros Frequently Asked Questions
How much maintenance does the VIQUA Arros UV system require?
The Arros system is engineered for minimal maintenance with homeowner convenience in mind. The lamp/quartz sleeve module is designed as an all-in-one unit (lamp + sleeve combined) which allows for a quick (sometimes less than 5 minutes) replacement. You simply unscrew the module, remove it, insert the new combo unit, and you’re done.
How effective is the VIQUA Arros UV system at disinfecting common microbes like E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium?
The Arros UV line has been validated through microbial testing and provides data-backed UV dose performance for inactivating microorganisms such as E. coli, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium. The combination of a streamlined chamber design (the “Tidal™ chamber”) and a high-efficiency lamp ensures the required UV intensity is delivered, assuming proper installation and water quality. Learn more about how to remove bacteria and viruses, and how to maintain a UV water sterilizer.
How long do the parts last, and how easy is lamp replacement?
The lamp lasts about 9,000 hours (1 year) and can be swapped in seconds thanks to the integrated lamp/sleeve module. The controller tracks usage hours, reminding you when it’s time for a change. The lamp and sleeve come as one pre-assembled unit that can usually be changed in under five minutes. Simply twist out the old module and insert the new one — no tools, no mess, no glass handling.
What makes the installation of the VIQUA Arros UV system easier?
The Arros features a compact Tidal™ chamber with aligned inlet/outlet ports and PolyProtect™ shielding, so it connects directly to PEX or polymer pipes. It installs horizontally or vertically with flexible flow direction.
