What to do if my Viqua Sterilight Platinum SPV-740 has high bacteria counts?
- BBrian 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.
