The Viqua S200RL-HO is a genuine high‑output replacement UV lamp engineered to restore designed UV intensity in compatible Viqua residential and point-of-entry systems.

When your Viqua UV system needs a new bulb, choosing an authentic S200RL-HO replacement ensures the chamber delivers the UV output it was built to provide. This high‑output OEM lamp fits a number of Viqua models including VH200, SC-200, SCM-200, SP200‑HO, SPV‑3.5 and the discontinued SPV‑200, and is intended for yearly replacement to maintain consistent performance and warranty compliance.

How does the S200RL-HO fit my existing Viqua unit?

The S200RL-HO is manufactured to the exact specifications required by Viqua systems listed as compatible. It installs in the lamp chamber the same way the original bulb did, providing correct electrical and physical alignment for proper operation. Using this OEM lamp avoids fitment problems that can occur with non‑branded alternatives.

• Direct OEM form factor for VH200, SC‑200, SCM‑200, SP200‑HO, SPV‑3.5, SPV‑200
• Standard connections and dimensions match factory lamp holders
• Designed to work with original ballast and chamber seals

When should I replace the UV lamp and why?

Viqua recommends replacing the lamp every 12 months because UV‑C output gradually declines during operation. Replacing on schedule ensures the system continues to perform as designed and prevents diminished treatment from an aged bulb. Annual replacement also helps keep any applicable warranties intact.

• Replace every 12 months for consistent UV intensity
• Prevents reduced effectiveness due to lamp aging
• Maintains manufacturer warranty and system specifications

What performance benefits does the high‑output bulb provide?

The 'HO' designation means this lamp delivers a higher UV output compared with standard bulbs used in some systems, aligning with the system’s rated capacity. That greater output supports the system’s designed contact and dose requirements as water flows through the chamber. Choosing the correct high‑output lamp helps preserve the system’s overall treatment performance.

• Higher UV‑C emission to meet original system design
• Stable output across expected operating life when replaced annually
• Engineered to work with Viqua ballasts and quartz sleeve arrangements

Are there installation or safety considerations I should know?

Installing the S200RL‑HO follows the same steps as other Viqua lamp replacements: power down the unit, remove the chamber cap, extract the old lamp, and carefully insert the new OEM lamp. Avoid touching the lamp glass with bare hands and verify seals and O‑rings are intact to prevent leaks. If you’re unsure, consult the system manual or a qualified service technician.

• Power off system before replacing the lamp
• Handle lamp by ends or with gloves to avoid oils on glass
• Check quartz sleeve and O‑rings; replace if damaged

Who is this replacement lamp for? The Viqua S200RL‑HO is intended for homeowners and service professionals who operate compatible Viqua residential and light‑commercial UV systems and want an OEM high‑output lamp to preserve original system performance. It’s the right choice when you need a direct, manufacturer‑specified replacement to maintain UV intensity, protect system reliability, and keep warranty terms valid. If you operate a VH200, SC‑200, SCM‑200, SP200‑HO, SPV‑3.5, or own an older SPV‑200, this lamp was designed to match your system’s requirements and installation method.
