The New UV Replacement Lamp replaces the lamp in the New UV Filter (AQ-UV-10C) and lasts for 12 months.
For total home protection, Aquasana’s UV Filter is an added safeguard that sterilizes up to 99% of viruses and bacteria like E.coli, and chlorine-resistant cysts like giardia and cryptosporidium.
As water passes through the UV’s stainless-steel chamber, water is purified by various frequencies of ultraviolet light. Essentially, the DNA in microbial cells absorbs the UV light, which kills these dangerous contaminants. This filter is perfect for anyone on a well-water system or for anyone looking for a last line of defense to protect your drinking water.
If you purchased your system after July 2019, you will use the New UV Replacement Lamp. If you purchased your system before July 2019, click here for the Original UV Filter Replacement. Replacements are easy and do not require a plumber.

1. Do I need a plumber to replace the UV filter?
Our replacement filters are designed for DIY replacements – no plumber required. Please read through the owner's manual carefully before attempting to replace your filters. If you have any questions or need assistance, our technical support representatives at 877-996-2875 can walk you through the installation process.
2. How often do I replace the UV filter?
The Original UV Filter Replacement Lamp should be replaced every 12 months.
3. What is the difference between the Original UV Lamp and the New UV Lamp?
The Original UV Lamp replaces the filter in all UV filters purchased before July 2019. If you purchased your UV filter after July 2019, click here.
4. Is UV filtration effective against protozoa such as cryptosporidium and giardia lamblia?
Yes, UV filtration is the best available technology proven to treat protozoan cysts. The levels required to inactivate these cysts are quite low: less than 10 mJ/cm2 for 99% sanitization of both Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia.
5. Does UV filtration render E. coli inactive?
E. coli requires a UV dose of 6-10 mJ/cm2 in order to render it inactive or sterilize by 99%. The Aquasana UV Filter delivers a minimum of 30 mJ/cm2.
6. Is UV filtration 100% effective?
UV filtration typically offers a 2-log reduction (99% sanitization) for bacteria, cysts, and most viruses. UV filtration is more effective and more eco-friendly than chemical disinfection processes at destroying a wide range of viruses.
7. How much does it cost to operate UV filters?
UV filters are extremely economical to operate. A typical 10 gallon per minute (gpm) UV filter operates on the same power requirements as a 40-watt light bulb!
8. Will UV filters change the taste of my water?
No, UV is a physical disinfection process. It does not change the taste or odor of the water. It simply provides safe, reliable disinfection while adding nothing to your water.
9. Should I shut my UV filter off when I am not using it?
No, the UV filter should be left on whether you are using water or not. The lamp ages regardless of the amount of water drawn through the system. By leaving the unit on, you will eliminate the potential problem of having contamination pass through the filter while the unit is off. However, if water is drained from your disinfection system, your UV filter must be switched off.
10. What are the annual maintenance requirements on a UV filter?
UV lamps have a powerful life of approximately 9,000 hours, which means that the lamps require annual replacement. The UV light may offer illumination beyond 1 year, however there will not be enough UV energy to provide adequate disinfection. Proper maintenance of any pre-treatment is also required. Additionally, the sleeve must be cleaned at least once a year.
11. Do I need to consider the quality of my water prior to the UV filter?
Yes, our UV filter is designed for water that has already been filtered through a home filtration system and not as a standalone unit. For UV filters to be effective, it is recommended that the influent water contain the following:
- • Iron < 0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
- • Manganese < 0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
- • Hardness < 7gpg
- • Tannins < 0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)
- • Turbidity < 1NTU • UV transmittance > 75%
