How to choose a UV water lamp for home use? | nordictec-store.com
For single-family homes, which most often use water from their own sources, the choice usually ranges from 25-55W. A 30W UV lamp is generally sufficient for sterilizing water in a home where 2-4 people live and actively use water, with a conventional room layout - one kitchen and one bathroom.
In some cases, however, it is worth considering a larger UV lamp for home water sterilization - especially if you have more than one bathroom or kitchen, or if there are additional water consumption factors, such as more residents. An additional indication for choosing a larger lamp, such as 55W, could be recurring water contamination.
Nordic Tec and other companies also offer UV water lamps with a power of less than 30W. From the perspective of efficiency, a 25W UV sterilizer could be suitable for a small house with low water consumption, where 1-2 people live, without children. However, it is important to note that such lamps usually have smaller connection diameters, e.g., 1/2", which eliminates the possibility of using them in most single-family homes. The standard selection of a UV lamp for home ranges between 30W and 55W.

Frequently asked question from customers:
How much does it cost to use a UV water purifier, and should it be on all the time?
Ans. The UV water purfier should only be turned off if the absence of household members lasts longer than 24-48 hours. It should not be turned off at night or when you are at work. Generally speaking, it is not advisable to turn the UV lamp on and off daily. It is a device, including the bulb itself, designed for continuous operation, even for several months. Frequent turning on and off will shorten the bulb's lifespan, especially if it is turned on for very short periods. Additionally, such usage is counterproductive because potential E. coli or other microbes can get past the lamp into our installation when the UV lamp is off.
The NORDIC Tec 30W UV water purifier when used continuously for 29 days (assuming the lamp is turned off 1 day a month), will consume about 25kWh per month, which costs up to 20 PLN monthly (based on average energy prices for 2021). In reality, many places have a night tariff, which further reduces these costs.

UV Water Lamp - Nordic Tec and PHILIPS Bulb
The UV water lamp we offer, in this case, 30W, is equipped with a PHILIPS bulb, which is very important because it is an expendable component that needs periodic replacement, usually once a year, sometimes less often if you travel frequently. Beware of lamps with UV bulbs without a specific brand, usually cheap Asian imports, while PHILIPS continues to produce UV water lamps in Europe. The issue is not just potentially lower quality, but also the difficulty in finding replacements over time. With a PHILIPS bulb, this problem does not arise, as it is a brand available in almost every European country.
UV Water Lamp for Well Water - How to Choose a Lamp?
Our UV water lamps can be used not only in areas with access to water supply networks, which usually undergo preliminary chlorination and treatment (though E. coli issues still arise periodically). They are often used as UV lamps for well water by people living in suburban areas using water from their own sources. These sources, although seemingly a return to roots and self-sufficiency, are more prone to E. coli and similar biological contamination. To be sure, it is worth contacting the local sanitary-epidemiological station, where you can get instructions on how to test the water for a relatively low cost.
The UV water lamp for a well is selected the same way as for water supply, considering mass flows in a short unit of time. In practice, our 30W sterilizer is a suitable solution for single-family homes with well water if inhabited by a typical family of 2-4 people with one bathroom. However, if the water in our well has a tendency to frequent E. coli contamination (it is also worth asking the neighbors), or if the house is inhabited by more people or has 2 bathrooms or 2 kitchens, it is worth considering a 55W UV water lamp, i.e., a version with a slightly more powerful bulb. Usually, the price difference is not very large, about 50 €, but you get a lamp with a bulb that has almost twice the nominal power.
