VIQUA has over 600,000 systems installed worldwide, and VIQUA systems can be found in almost every country in the world. Applications of VIQUA systems, beyond the basic residential and light commercial uses, include rain water harvesting, ground water treatment, disaster relief, humanitarian aid, medical devices, and bottled-water refill stations.
RODUCT RAWINGS Install Diagram The following diagram is the recommended installation layout; however, other installation set-ups are possible, including a mirrored layout to the one featured here. Chambers must be installed vertically and right side up, according to the indicators on the chambers.
YSTEM VERVIEW 4-Log Virus Reduction The PRO24-186 system provides over 186 mJ/cm UV dose for 4-log reduction of viruses, including the Adenovirus. The system consists of two chambers in series utilizing amalgam UV lamps, CoolTouch , and LightWise technology. The Adenovirus system is fully third-party validated to USEPA UV Disinfection Guidance Manual (UVDGM) protocol for 4-log Adenovirus reduction.
UV Dose Monitoring 3.3.1 Dose Curve Dose values such as those in the following graph are calculated based on third-party verified bioassay testing completed in compliance with the 2006 UVDGM. 95%UVT 85%UVT 75%UVT 65%UVT 186mJ/cm^2 Flow rate (gpm) There is no flow restrictor on the Adenovirus system. Therefore, the system can physically exceed 24 GPM;...
3.3.2 Dose Alarm Selection VIQUA’s Adenovirus system comes equipped with real-time UV dose monitoring which utilizes data from both the UV sensor (3.3.3) and the flow meter (3.3.5). The system will go into alarm at different points depending on input from these components. There are two dose settings to choose from: variable or stepped dose alarm.
In this way, the UV sensor detects when the water flowing furthest away from the lamp is no longer being disinfected properly due to any factor. VIQUA’s UV sensors reliably detect low UV output and identify the need for maintenance via a 4-20 mA output signal to the controller.
3.3.4 Sensor Response Curve The sensor’s photodiode detects the emitted germicidal 253.7 nm wavelength. 1E+0 0.16 Logarithmic 1E-1 0.14 Linear 1E-2 0.12 1E-3 1E-4 0.08 1E-5 0.06 1E-6 0.04 1E-7 0.02 1E-8 Wavelength, λ (nm) 3.3.5 Flow Meter The Adenovirus system uses a single flow meter located on the primary unit to measure the flow rate of water passing through the UV systems.
Set points depend on the Dose Alarm Selection (sec. 3.3.2). The controller’s alarm conditions act independently of the COMMcenter (sec. 3.3.7); though the Adenovirus PRO24-186 should always be operated with the COMMcenter this means the UV disinfection dose is monitored even if the COMMcenter should fail.
The lamp produces germicidal ultraviolet light (UV-C) at a wavelength of 253.7 nm. The absence of a peak at 185 nm is significant because it means no harmful ozone will be produced. VIQUA’s amalgam lamps have a mercury content of less than 15 mg (IMERC registered).

Product Features and Benefits 3.5.1 LightWise™ Technology VIQUA’s new LightWise™ technology allows the system’s electronic controller to automatically reduce lamp power during periods of no water flow. In order to maintain dose levels above alarm setpoint values, the controller will dim to 62% power output.
Signals and Remote Capabilities 3.6.1 Dry Contacts The dry contact can be used to signal a remote device in event of the following major alarms: • Lamp Fault • Ballast (Controller) Fault • UV Sensor Fault • Low UV Fault Connection Logic Chart UV System in UV System in Major...
