Why Pre-Filtration Matters for UV Systems
Clear water is essential for effective UV disinfection
UV systems work best when water is clear. Sediment, turbidity, and particles can block UV light and shield microorganisms from exposure—reducing disinfection performance. This is especially important for well water and challenging water conditions.
Protects Your Investment
Sediment filtration reduces particles that can shield microorganisms from UV light, helping maintain effective UV treatment.
Ensures Proper UV Dosage
Cleaner water allows UV light to effectively inactivate microorganisms year-round.
Simplifies Installation
One integrated system means one footprint, one install, and coordinated maintenance.
Improves Water Quality
Carbon filtration (IHS12 / IHS22) reduces chlorine, taste, odor, and chemical contaminants before UV treatment.
EASIEST MAINTENANCE IN THE INDUSTRY
Simple Annual Lamp Replacement
The innovative all-in-one lamp design combines the UV lamp and quartz sleeve in a single unit with one connection. No lamp harness required. Replacement takes minutes, not hours, across all Arros models—whether you have a standard system or an IHS model with pre-filtration.

Features and Benefits of Arros UV

01
Easy Installation with Tidal™ Chamber
Ease of Installation: The “T” shape of the chamber (or Tidal™ chamber) aligns the inlet and outlet ports on a single plane, reducing the need for complex plumbing and fitting connections.
Efficiency: Limits fittings and reduces pressure drop, requiring less energy through its efficient chamber with a lower power lamp.

02
PolyProtect™
Material Compatibility: Blocks UV light, allowing direct plumbing to PEX and other polymer materials, eliminating UV degradation risks.

03
Simplified Mounting
Improved Alignment: Quick-mount bracket quickly anchors to the wall, which saves time, ensures a straight line, and eliminates sloppy installations.

04
Flexible Installation
Versatile Setup: UV chamber installs vertically or horizontally, with a controller that accommodates water flow from either direction.

05
Stream Monitoring™
Timely Maintenance: Tracks actual hours the lamp is powered, enabling timely replacement for continued optimal performance.
User-friendly LCD touchscreen: helps to identify replacement parts and access dealer contact information.

06
All-in-One Lamp Design
Simplified Design: Combines the lamp and quartz sleeve in a single connection, ensuring proper electrical components without requiring a lamp harness.
Saves Time: The Threaded plug allows for quick and clean draining during installation and maintenance.
07
Versatile Application
Perfect for a wide range of whole-home, point-of-entry water treatment solutions in homes, cottages, or OEM applications.

Common Questions Before Buying VIQUA Arros UV
What size UV system do I need (Arros 9 vs 15 vs 22)?
Your system size will depend on household water usage and flow rate. Larger models (15 & 22) support higher flow and bigger homes. Our customer support team is happy to talk you through system sizing. Call 1 (877) 377-9876.
Do I need pre-filtration before UV?
Pre-filtration is often necessary because UV light requires clear water for effective disinfection. Sediment and other particles can block UV light and reduce performance. Arros IHS10 models include sediment filtration; IHS12 and IHS22 models include sediment and carbon filtration. The right pretreatment depends on your water quality. Contact our sizing experts for help choosing a system.
Does the Arros system remove chemicals or sediment?
The UV chamber disinfects water; it does not remove sediment, hardness, iron, chlorine or chemical contaminants. IHS models add sediment filtration, and IHS12/IHS22 configurations also include carbon filtration. Additional contaminant removal may require other treatment equipment suited to your water test results.
How effective is VIQUA Arros against E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium?
VIQUA Arros has been validated through microbial testing for inactivation of E. coli, Giardia, Cryptosporidium and fecal coliform. The Tidal™ chamber and UV lamp deliver the UV dose when the system is correctly sized, installed and maintained and water quality meets the system requirements. Arros V-series models are certified to NSF/ANSI 55 Class B; this certification applies to those specific models.
Learn more about bacteria, viruses and UV system maintenance.
What water clarity is required for proper UV treatment?
For proper UV treatment, the water must be clear enough for UV light to pass through, with low turbidity (typically below 1 NTU) and minimal iron, hardness, or sediment. That’s why pre-filtration is important—cloudy or dirty water can block UV light and reduce disinfection effectiveness.
What maintenance does VIQUA Arros require, and how long does the lamp last?
Replace the all-in-one lamp and quartz sleeve module annually, at approximately 9,000 operating hours, following the owner’s manual. The pre-assembled module makes replacement a task that takes minutes. The controller tracks lamp usage and provides replacement reminders; its lamp timer resets to 365 days when a new lamp is installed.
IHS models also need sediment filters—and carbon filters where included—replaced every 6–12 months or as needed for your water conditions. Follow the model’s owner’s manual for shutdown, draining, replacement and restart procedures.
What makes the installation of the VIQUA Arros UV system easier?
The Arros features a compact Tidal™ chamber with aligned inlet/outlet ports and PolyProtect™ shielding, so it connects directly to PEX or polymer pipes. It installs horizontally or vertically with flexible flow direction.
Why Choose the Viqua Arros UV?
VIQUA Arros combines the compact Tidal™ chamber, direct-to-PEX compatibility through PolyProtect™ shielding, flexible mounting and an all-in-one lamp and sleeve module. These features simplify installation and routine maintenance.
The range includes standard UV systems, V-series models certified to NSF/ANSI 55 Class B, and IHS configurations with integrated pre-filtration. Choose the model and pretreatment that match your flow rate and water quality.
What is the Viqua Arros UV System?
