What to do if the ballast alarms but the lamp doesn't light up on my Ispring Water Filtration System?
If the ballast is alarming but the lamp isn't lighting up in your Ispring Water Filtration System, first ensure the lamp tube is firmly connected. If it is, the lamp tube may be at the end of its life and needs replacing with a new UV lamp. If neither of these steps works, the ballast is likely damaged and should be replaced.
How to fix a leak at the water inlet/outlet of the reactor chamber in my Ispring Water Filtration System?
If you notice a leak at the water inlet/outlet of the reactor chamber in your Ispring Water Filtration System, wrap plumber's tape on the threads and then reconnect the tubing to resolve the issue.
Why doesn't the ballast turn on automatically after turning on the water supply in my Ispring Water Filtration System?
If the ballast of your Ispring Water Filtration System does not turn on automatically after turning on the water supply, ensure the water flow switch is correctly connected and that the direction of the water flow on the switch is correct. Also, verify the unit is correctly connected to the power supply and that the power supply voltage is within the rated voltage range. Lastly, check that the water flow rate is at least 0.08 GPM.
Why is the ballast alarming, but the lamp lights up on my Ispring Water Filtration System?
If the ballast alarms and the lamp lights up on your Ispring Water Filtration System, the ballast alarm system is damaged. Replace the ballast.
Why are the indicator lights and alarm abnormal when the lamp is on in my Ispring Water Filtration System?
If the lamp turns on, but the indicator lights and alarm are abnormal on your Ispring Water Filtration System, the indicator lights are broken. Replace the ballast.
Why is the timer number not changing on my Ispring Water Filtration System?
If the timer number on your Ispring Water Filtration System does not change, reset the timing mode. If there is a decimal point behind the number, the timing is in minutes, and it will count one after one minute.
What to do if the Ispring Water Dispenser ballast alarm goes off and the lamp doesn't power on?
If the ballast alarm is activated, the green indicator light is off, and the lamp doesn't power on, it could be that the lamp has reached the end of its service life. In this case, you should replace the lamp.
What to do if Ispring Water Dispenser is leaking at the inlet/outlet?
If you notice a leak at the inlet or outlet of your Ispring Water Dispenser, wrap Teflon tape on the threads and reconnect the water pipe.
What to do if the Ispring Water Dispenser lamp turns on but indicator lights and alarm are abnormal?
If the Ispring Water Dispenser lamp turns on but the indicator lights and alarm are abnormal, the indicator lights may be broken. Replace the ballast.

The iSpring Ultraviolet Water Filter (Models: UVF11A, UVF11B, UVF11B-A, UVF11B-E) is an innovative water purification system designed for residential use. This system utilizes ultraviolet (UV) light to purify water, offering a reliable and effective method for improving water quality.
The UVF11 series operates with a flow sensor that automatically turns the UV lamp on and off based on water flow. When water flows through the unit, the UV lamp activates, and when no water is detected, the unit enters standby mode, turning off the indicator lights and conserving energy. This design not only reduces energy consumption but also prolongs the lifespan of the UV lamp.
Water enters the UVF11 series and flows into the annular space between the quartz tube and the inner wall of the stainless steel reactor chamber. The UV lamp then emits UV rays, initiating the purification process. A green LED indicator on the electronic ballast illuminates, signaling that the UV lamp is in operation and functioning correctly, ensuring that all water within the chamber is purified without any "dead corners." Once water exits the UVF11 series, it is ready for use, requiring no further contact time.
The system also incorporates a self-cleaning feature. If the unit remains idle for 24 hours while powered on, it will automatically initiate a 300-second self-cleaning cycle to prevent water in the reactor chamber from deteriorating. In the event of a malfunction, a red LED indicator will flash, and an alarm will sound, alerting the user to a problem.
For optimal performance, the incoming water should meet specific quality parameters:
It is crucial to note that water quality significantly impacts UV light performance. The UVF11 series is not intended for treating water with obvious contamination or raw sewage, nor is it designed to convert wastewater into safe drinking water.
The UVF11 series is designed for ease of installation and minimal maintenance. Its dual-chamber heads are removable and can be rotated independently, simplifying installation, maintenance, and retrofitting into existing systems. The quick and easy lamp change process requires no special tools.
After plumbing connections are complete, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Allow water to run for a few minutes to clear air or dust from the reactor chamber. Finally, plug in the power to start the system.
For safety, always wear eyewear and turn off the main power before servicing the unit, as servicing with power on can damage the ballast.
The UV lamp and quartz tube should be cleaned at least three times a year if the unit can be easily dismounted. Otherwise, replace the lamp and quartz tube every 1-2 years.
To clean:
Regularly inspect the UVF11 unit to ensure the UV lamp is operational. An LED indicator light on the ballast visually confirms lamp operation, though it does not indicate UV intensity or transmission level. Ballasts include a built-in audio alarm for lamp failure.
To ensure proper operation, regular biological testing of your water (e.g., quarterly) by an accredited agency is highly recommended. Additional testing may be necessary after modifications, changes, or additions to the plumbing system, pumps, or well source water to ensure adequate purification under new conditions. Other maintenance includes ensuring grounding wires are secure and replacing any damaged or broken components.
