Q:
Which systems use the VIQUA S950RL-4C?
A:
The catalog lists: S950RL-4C, SHF-180, SHFM-180, SHF-290, SHFM-290. Confirm the exact model and part number on your equipment before ordering VIQUA S950RL-4C.
Q:
How often should the VIQUA S950RL-4C be replaced?
A:
Replace it every 12 months, even if it still lights. UV output declines with operating time, so visible light does not confirm expected treatment output.
Q:
Does this listing include a quartz sleeve?
A:
No. This is the replacement lamp only unless package contents explicitly state otherwise. Inspect the sleeve and seals during lamp service.
Q:
Why is the exact lamp part number important?
A:
Lamp length, base, wattage, and UV output must match the controller and chamber. The 4C suffix identifies its connector configuration; do not substitute another S950 lamp.
Q:
What should I do before changing the lamp?
A:
Turn off power, shut off water if the chamber will be opened, relieve pressure, allow the lamp to cool, and handle the replacement with clean gloves.
Q:
What should I check after installation?
A:
Confirm connector alignment, controller operation, lamp-life reset, sleeve condition, and leak-free seals before returning the system to normal operation.
