Description
Your Del Ozone system depends on a functioning UV lamp to generate ozone gas through the advanced oxidation process. When the lamp dims or reaches the end of its service life, ozone output drops even though the rest of your system is running fine. Iron stains return, sulfur odor comes back, and your water quality suffers. Not because your system is broken, but because one component needs replacing.
The WGUV produces ozone molecules by exposing oxygen to UV-C light, triggering strong oxidation reactions that eliminate chlorine-resistant contaminants, bacteria, and odor-causing compounds. Using proven ozone technology, it functions as a powerful oxidizer that neutralizes what standard filtration misses. Rated for up to 10,000 hours of continuous use, it delivers reliable ozone output over an extended service life before the next replacement is due.
This lamp installs as a direct replacement in Del Ozone and compatible AOP systems without special tools. Replace it on an annual schedule or whenever you notice a drop in water clarity or performance.

Features
The WGUV is rated for up to 10,000 hours, significantly reducing how often you need to schedule a lamp replacement compared to lower-output alternatives.
High-output UV-C light production means the lamp maintains effective ozone generation even as it approaches the end of its rated service life.
UVC ozone lamp technology drives the advanced oxidation process without chemical inputs, keeping your treatment system free of byproducts.
No additional parts, adapters, or modifications are needed, making it a straightforward swap for any homeowner managing their own system maintenance.
Consistent ozone output supports reliable water clarity year-round, even in well water with high iron or sulfur loads.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. The oils from skin leave residue on the quartz glass that blocks UV-C transmission. Even a partial fingerprint can measurably reduce ozone output. Handle the WGUV by the base or ceramic ends only, or use a clean cloth. If the glass was touched during installation, wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol before powering the system on.
-
Yes, they are different technologies. UV-style generation uses 185nm UV-C light to convert oxygen into ozone. Corona discharge uses a high-voltage electrical field to do the same. The ozone produced is chemically identical, but the components are not interchangeable. A Del Ozone AOP system using a UV lamp cannot accept a corona discharge cell as a substitute. Always replace with the same type your system was designed for.
-
The system can run mechanically, but it will produce no ozone without a functioning UV lamp. That means no oxidation and no disinfection during that period. If your well water contains iron, sulfur, or bacteria, those contaminants will pass through untreated. For households dependent on ozone treatment for water safety, keeping a spare WGUV on hand eliminates that gap entirely.
-
UV-C germicidal lamps contain a small amount of mercury and are regulated as hazardous waste in most U.S. states. Do not place a used lamp in household trash. Check with your local waste management authority for lamp recycling drop-off options, or use a mail-in lamp recycling program. Many hardware stores and municipal facilities accept fluorescent and UV lamps for proper disposal.
