BIO-UV LPE00005 lamp Oman — Genuine 87W amalgam replacement lamp for BIO-UV reactors

BIO-UV LPE00005 lamp Oman

The BIO-UV LPE00005 lamp is the genuine 87W amalgam replacement tube for the larger BIO-UV France disinfection reactors, and UV Water Systems supplies it in Oman. It is the higher-output partner to the 55W LPE00004, fitted where flow rate or required dose puts the smaller lamp out of range.

Amalgam construction is what lets an 87W tube hold its rated 254 nm output through the summer. Standard low-pressure mercury lamps lose output sharply when the water either side of the quartz sleeve moves away from their optimum temperature, and Omani feed water spends most of the year outside that window. Amalgam lamps run flat across a much wider band, which is why BIO-UV specifies them on validated reactors.

LPE00004 and LPE00005 are not interchangeable — the reactor, ballast and dose validation are all matched to one or the other. Check the reactor nameplate or the original O and M manual, or send us the reactor serial number and we will confirm which lamp it takes.

Where the BIO-UV LPE00005 lamp Oman is used

These reactors serve hospitals, municipal and government water facilities, hotel pool plant, and industrial process lines across Oman. UV Water Systems holds genuine BIO-UV spares, carries out lamp and sleeve changes with UV intensity verification, and supplies the change records auditors ask for. Multi-lamp reactors should be relamped as a full set.

When to replace your BIO-UV LPE00005 lamp Oman

UV-C output decays long before the lamp stops lighting. A germicidal lamp still glowing at 15 months may be delivering well under the dose its chamber was sized for, which means the water leaving the system is no longer being disinfected to specification. Replace on hours, not on appearance. For systems running continuously, that means once every 12 months. Log the change date on the controller or on the chamber label so the next service is scheduled rather than remembered.

Handle the quartz sleeve at the same visit. Scale and iron deposits on the sleeve block UV-C just as effectively as a weak lamp, and in Oman’s high-hardness groundwater sleeves foul faster than most manufacturers’ generic guidance assumes. Clean the sleeve with a mild acid descaler, inspect the O-rings, and replace the sleeve outright every three to five years.

Standards and references

The UV dose a chamber must deliver, and the reasoning behind the annual lamp change, come from published drinking water guidance rather than from equipment marketing. The WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality set out the microbiological targets disinfection is designed to meet, and the International Ultraviolet Association publishes the dose and validation practice the industry works to. We size and service UV systems in Oman against those references.

Common questions about the BIO-UV LPE00005 lamp Oman

Can I fit a generic amalgam tube instead? Physically, often yes. Contractually, usually no. If the reactor carries a validation certificate, the BIO-UV LPE00005 lamp Oman is the part that certificate was issued against, and a substitute invalidates it.

How long does it last? Rate the BIO-UV LPE00005 lamp Oman at 9,000 to 12,000 operating hours depending on the reactor and the number of on-off cycles. Frequent switching shortens amalgam lamp life faster than continuous running.

Do you deliver outside Muscat? Yes. We despatch the BIO-UV LPE00005 lamp Oman by courier to Sohar, Nizwa, Salalah and Duqm, and our technicians travel for lamp changes and UV intensity verification under maintenance contracts.

Buying BIO-UV LPE00005 lamp Oman in Oman

UV Water Systems has supplied and serviced ultraviolet disinfection equipment across the Sultanate for more than 14 years, for hospitals, oil and gas sites, schools, hotels, food and beverage plants and villas. We stock germicidal lamps and ballasts in Muscat rather than ordering them in after a failure, so a plant that loses disinfection on a Sunday morning is not waiting three weeks for an air freight shipment.

Every lamp we supply is a named-manufacturer part with traceable 254 nm output data — the documentation health authority and HACCP auditors in Oman ask for. Our technicians cover Muscat, Sohar, Nizwa, Salalah and Duqm, and can carry out the lamp change, sleeve clean and UV intensity check as one visit under an annual maintenance contract.

Uniqueness View LLC is ISO 9001:2015 certified. Call +968 9763 7786 or email sales@waterfilteroman.com for stock availability, bulk pricing on service-contract quantities, or help identifying the correct lamp for a chamber you cannot find a part number on. Send us a photo of the old lamp and the chamber label and we will identify it for you.
