What to do if my Viqua Sterilight Platinum SPV-740 has high bacteria counts?
- B
  Brian ColeAug 13, 2025
  If you observe high bacteria counts with your Viqua Steriliser, consider these potential causes and solutions: * The quartz sleeve may be stained or dirty. Clean the sleeve with a scale cleaner and address the source of the staining. * There might be a change in feedwater quality. Have the source water tested to ensure it remains within allowable parameters for use with the unit. * Contamination could be occurring after the disinfection system. In this case, shock the effluent water stream with chlorine after it exits the system. The disinfection system requires a bacteria-free distribution system to operate effectively.

  If your Viqua Steriliser is leaking water, consider these potential causes and solutions: * There may be a problem with the o-ring seal (on retaining nut and/or UV sensor). Ensure the o-ring is in place, check for cuts or abrasions, clean it, moisten it with water, and reinstall. Replace if necessary (Part# 410867). * Condensation on the reactor chamber may be caused by excessive humidity and cold water. Check the location of the disinfection system and control humidity, and protect the cell with protective insulation. * Inadequate inlet/outlet port connections could be the issue. Check the thread connections, reseal with Teflon tape, and retighten.

  A pressure drop in your Viqua Steriliser could be due to a couple of reasons: * The sediment pre-filter might be clogged. Replace the filter cartridge with an appropriate five-micron cartridge. Also, check the source water supply, as fluctuations may occur in source pressure. * The flow regulator may be causing the issue. The flow regulator will result in pressure drop when approaching full flow.
