30 W UV sterilizer—water disinfection with UV radiation
The IBO 30 W UV sterilizer is a device for disinfecting water with UV-C radiation, which destroys bacteria and microorganisms without using chemicals and without changing the taste or smell of the water. It is part of a water treatment system for private water intakes.
For whom
- Well and surface water intake owners—disinfection of water contaminated with bacteria as a water treatment stage.
- Water treatment system installers—easy integration into the system thanks to the threaded connection ports and complete included equipment.
- Aquarists and pond owners—limiting the growth of microorganisms in the water circulation system without chemicals.
- Private swimming pool users—support for maintaining the microbiological cleanliness of water in the circulation system.
Applications
- Disinfection of water from shallow wells and surface water intakes as part of a water treatment system.
- Filtration and disinfection of utility water in domestic and commercial installations.
- Maintaining the microbiological cleanliness of water in aquariums and garden ponds.
- Support for water treatment in private swimming pools.
The 30 W 230 V UV sterilizer is installed in series in the system using 1" threaded connection ports, and power is supplied by the transformer with a grounding cable included in the set.
Features of the 30 W UV sterilizer—description and technical specifications
Disinfection is based on the germicidal action of UV-C radiation: light absorbed by the DNA structures of microorganisms destroys them without adding any chemical compounds. As a result, the water retains its natural taste and smell, and the process does not introduce disinfection by-products into it.
The emitter's protective tube is made entirely of quartz, which minimally attenuates UV radiation, allowing a high dose of germicidal light to reach the water. The AISI 304 stainless steel housing provides corrosion resistance and a long service life in contact with water. The Philips lamp used has a lifespan of over 8000 hours, while the design enables quick emitter replacement, simplifying servicing and ensuring uninterrupted operation.
The device is supplied ready for installation—the set includes a transformer with a grounding cable (230 V), O-rings, and adapters. The sterilizer should be installed and stored at room temperature in a dry, well-ventilated place.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – What is the 30 W UV sterilizer used for?
What is the 30 W UV sterilizer used for?
UV sterilizer applications
The 30 W UV sterilizer is used to disinfect water contaminated with bacteria using UV-C radiation. It is a disinfection stage in a water treatment system for shallow wells and surface water intakes.
Does the UV sterilizer provide drinking water?
Water and suitability for drinking
The UV sterilizer is part of a water treatment system and does not confirm that the water is suitable for drinking. The final suitability of the water for drinking is confirmed by a quality test at the point of use, and the device should be selected based on a water quality analysis.
What water quality is required for the UV sterilizer to operate?
Water requirements
The iron content in the water should not exceed 0.1 mg/l, and the hardness should be below 110 CaCO₃ mg/l. We recommend installing a mechanical filter before the sterilizer to remove sand and other impurities, as they affect disinfection effectiveness.
Does the UV lamp need to be switched off when there is no water flow?
Continuous operation of the UV lamp
The lamp should operate continuously, even when water is temporarily not flowing. Frequent switching on and off significantly shortens the emitter's service life.
How long does the UV lamp in the IBO sterilizer last?
UV lamp service life
The Philips-manufactured lamp has a specified service life of more than 8,000 hours. The device is designed to allow the emitter to be replaced quickly and easily.
Where can I buy the IBO 30 W UV sterilizer?
Where to buy a UV sterilizer
As the manufacturer, we do not sell directly. The 30 W UV sterilizer is available from our retail partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What warranty covers the IBO UV sterilizer?
Manufacturer's warranty
The IBO UV sterilizer is covered by a 24-month (2-year) manufacturer's warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
