It is tested and certified by NSF International against CSA B483.1 and NSF\/ANSI 55 for Disinfection Performance, Class A, and it delivers \u003cstrong\u003e30 GPM at the validated 40 mJ\/cm2 NSF\/EPA dose\u003c\/strong\u003e (measured at 70% UV transmittance). That dose qualification matters: many UV systems advertise big flow numbers at a much weaker dose, or at no stated dose at all. Class A at 40 mJ\/cm2 is the standard validated for treating water with \u003cstrong\u003eknown or confirmed microbiological contamination\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is exactly the situation a positive coliform or E. coli test puts you in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PRO30 inactivates E. coli, fecal coliform, Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and rotavirus as water passes through its \u003cstrong\u003e316L stainless steel chamber\u003c\/strong\u003e, with no chemicals and nothing added to the water. A high-output amalgam lamp does the work, and unlike basic residential UV systems, the PRO30 actually verifies its own performance: a \u003cstrong\u003eUV intensity sensor\u003c\/strong\u003e and an \u003cstrong\u003eintegrated flow meter\u003c\/strong\u003e feed the controller, which displays the \u003cstrong\u003ereal-time UV dose\u003c\/strong\u003e being delivered at your actual flow rate. You are not guessing whether the lamp is still strong enough. The display tells you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the PRO30 Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstates and very large homes\u003c\/strong\u003e (roughly 7+ bathrooms) where peak demand can exceed what an 18 GPM system handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarms and rural properties\u003c\/strong\u003e with high simultaneous water use across a house, barn, and outbuildings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall businesses, churches, restaurants, and offices on well water\u003c\/strong\u003e that need a validated Class A system for compliance or peace of mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny well with a \u003cstrong\u003econfirmed coliform or E. coli result\u003c\/strong\u003e where peak flow genuinely runs above 20 GPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen a Smaller System Is the Better Buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonest sizing first: most homes do not need 30 GPM of UV. A typical 3 to 5 bathroom home peaks at 10 to 14 GPM, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/viqua-vh410-uv-system\"\u003eViqua VH410\u003c\/a\u003e (NSF 55 Class A at 14 GPM validated dose, 18 GPM peak) covers it for far less money. If your peak demand lands between those, the PRO20 (20 GPM at the same Class A dose) is the middle step. The PRO30 is the right call when you have measured or calculated peak flow above 20 GPM, or a light-commercial application where the extra headroom is worth it. Not sure? Call us with your fixture count and well details and we will size it honestly, even if that means selling you a cheaper system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLightWise Technology: Less Fouling, Less Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn most installations the biggest ongoing UV problem is quartz sleeve fouling. Under no-flow conditions (which can be as much as 60% of the day) a standard UV lamp heats the standing water in the chamber, accelerating calcium, magnesium, and iron deposits onto the sleeve. VIQUA's \u003cstrong\u003eLightWise technology dims the lamp during periods of no flow\u003c\/strong\u003e, keeping chamber water below 104 F. The result, per VIQUA's testing: \u003cstrong\u003eup to 60% less sleeve fouling\u003c\/strong\u003e (which can more than double the time between sleeve cleanings) and an estimated \u003cstrong\u003e30% energy savings\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePre-Treatment Requirements: UV Needs Clear Water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUV is a disinfection stage, not a filter. It removes nothing from the water, and anything that clouds the water or coats the sleeve shadows microorganisms from the lamp. The PRO30 requires water that meets these limits ahead of the chamber:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness under 7 grains per gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e (120 mg\/L) - above that, install a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/residential-water-softeners\"\u003ewater softener\u003c\/a\u003e upstream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIron under 0.3 mg\/L\u003c\/strong\u003e - above that, install an \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/iron-sulfur-removal-filters-for-well-water\"\u003eiron filter\u003c\/a\u003e upstream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTannins under 0.1 mg\/L\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5-micron sediment pre-filter\u003c\/strong\u003e immediately ahead of the chamber - a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/20-inch-big-blue-sediment-filter-kit\"\u003e20\" Big Blue sediment filter\u003c\/a\u003e handles this\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUV always goes \u003cstrong\u003elast\u003c\/strong\u003e in the treatment train, after sediment, iron, pH correction, and softening.

The controller counts down remaining lamp life on the display, sounds an audible reminder when replacement is due, and alarms on lamp failure. The quartz sleeve (part 602976) is held by \u003cstrong\u003etool-free quarter-twist sleeve bolts\u003c\/strong\u003e: a quarter turn to the positive stop and you are done, with no tools and no risk of over-tightening. Clean the sleeve when the intensity reading trends down; replace it every 2 to 3 years. The CoolTouch fan keeps the chamber and electronics cool without wasting any water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstall Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVertical installation is required, with the chamber mounted lamp-connection-up. The chamber is 41\" x 4\" with combination \u003cstrong\u003e1-1\/4\" MNPT \/ 1\" FNPT\u003c\/strong\u003e inlet and outlet ports; the controller (13\" x 6.5\" x 4.5\") mounts on the wall beside it. Power is 100-240V, 50\/60 Hz, 230W, on a standard plug. Maximum operating pressure is 125 psi and influent water temperature must stay between 36 and 104 F. An optional plug-and-play \u003cstrong\u003esolenoid valve\u003c\/strong\u003e (part 650627) stops water flow automatically if UV performance falls below a safe level, and an optional 4-20mA output ties the sensor reading into building monitoring. Use copper, not PEX, for the short runs immediately at the chamber, since UV degrades polymer pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTest First, Buy Right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacteria are invisible, tasteless, and odorless.
