Cintropur Lamp UV 4100 – 40 W (FWUVLAMP4100)

Original 40 W UV-C replacement lamp for Cintropur UV 4100 and TRIO-UV 4100. Delivers stable 253.7 nm UV dose for effective, chemical-free disinfection of pre-filtered water. Recommended as scheduled maintenance once per year to maintain documented bacterial hygiene performance. 💡

Summary
This Cintropur original is designed for continuous operation with a uniform beam output in the 40 W range. Quick to change, safe to use, and developed for interaction with the system's ballast and quartz sleeve. The water must be pre-treated (particle removal) and the chemical quality must meet relevant drinking water standards for the water to be classified as drinking water. 🛡️

Health effects
• UV-C inactivates microorganisms by damaging DNA/RNA so that they cannot reproduce.
• Disinfection takes place without the addition of chemicals and does not affect taste or smell.
• No formation of unwanted by-products from the UV process itself with correct dimensioning.
• A UV stage as the last part of the line contributes to safer distribution of hygienic water in households and the local environment. ♻️

Technical details and specifications
Lamp type is adapted to Cintropur UV 4100 fixture (and TRIO-UV 4100 with UV 4100 module). Nominal power 40 W with a main line of 253.7 nm (UV-C). Designed for 24/7 operation with a safety function that prevents ignition without correct attachment to the base. Recommended service interval: lamp replacement once per year in normal use; clean the quartz sleeve gently if necessary and consider replacement after several years of operation (typically every five years). The UV unit must always be installed as the last step after mechanical pre-filtration/activated carbon where relevant. Correct hydraulics (flow time, clarity/turbidity) is crucial for the calculated UV dose. 🔧

Reservations (for appliances and hardware)
Use and maintenance are at your own risk and should be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Components that require professional installation should be installed by a qualified installer. Effect and performance are affected by water quality, pre-filtration, flow-through and pure quartz sleeve. Keep out of the reach of children.
