Product description
Storing drinking water leads to bacterial contamination within a few days. Bacteria form and can harm your health. The best way to prevent this is to use UV lamps, which work by disrupting the transmission of genetic information during cell division. As a result, the bacteria die. The Reich UV-12 submersible lamp operates on this principle.
It consists of an immersion tube encased in special quartz glass and an electronic ballast that controls the power supply. Waterproof electrical connections and compact dimensions allow it to be used as an immersion lamp in fresh water tanks.
When in operation, the submersible lamp is turned on by the electronic ballast for 15 minutes every 4 hours. This short period is sufficient to disrupt the transmission of genetic information during cell division, thereby causing the bacteria to die. Thanks to its unique operating mechanism, the submersible UV lamp can also be powered by a solar panel.
Installing the Reich UV-12 submersible UV lamp is straightforward and can easily be done by the user. Simply drill a 20.5 mm diameter hole through the tank lid or tank wall and attach a threaded fitting. The submersible lamp’s power cable is fed through this fitting, and the submersible lamp itself is lowered along this cable to the bottom of the tank. The tank cap and the threaded fitting are then tightened. Now all that’s left is to connect the submersible UV lamp’s power cable and a 12-V power cable from the vehicle’s electrical system or a solar panel to the ballast—and you’re done.
The germicidal performance of the Reich UV-12 submersible lamp has been tested by the Institute of Hygiene at the University of Heidelberg.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with the Reich UV-12 submersible UV lamp with us.
First of all, we’re glad to hear that you were satisfied with the submersible UV lamp. We’re all the more sorry to hear that the unit stopped working after only about a year.
The UV-12 is designed for water disinfection using UV-C radiation. Reliable operation is particularly important for a product like this, as the effectiveness of the water treatment depends on it functioning properly.
The fact that the submersible lamp has failed after a relatively short period of use should, of course, not happen when the product is used as intended. We therefore fully understand that you are disappointed with its durability.
We recommend that you have the defect inspected as part of a warranty claim, along with your proof of purchase, so that the cause of the failure can be determined and an appropriate solution found.
We deeply regret that your initially positive experience with the Reich UV-12 was marred by this premature failure, and we thank you for your honest feedback.

vielen Dank, dass Du Deine Erfahrung mit dem Reich UV-12 Tauchstrahler mit uns teilst.
Es freut uns zunächst, dass Du mit dem Tauchstrahler zufrieden warst. Umso mehr bedauern wir, dass das Gerät bereits nach etwa einem Jahr nicht mehr funktioniert.
Der UV-12 ist für die Wasserentkeimung mithilfe von UV-C-Strahlung vorgesehen. Gerade bei einem solchen Produkt ist eine zuverlässige Funktion besonders wichtig, da die Wirksamkeit der Wasserbehandlung von einem ordnungsgemäßen Betrieb abhängt.
Dass der Tauchstrahler bereits nach vergleichsweise kurzer Nutzungsdauer ausgefallen ist, sollte bei bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung selbstverständlich nicht passieren. Wir können daher gut nachvollziehen, dass Du von der Haltbarkeit enttäuscht bist.
Wir empfehlen Dir, den Defekt mit Deinem Kaufnachweis im Rahmen einer Reklamation prüfen zu lassen, damit die Ursache des Ausfalls geklärt und eine entsprechende Lösung gefunden werden kann.
Wir bedauern sehr, dass Deine zunächst positive Erfahrung mit dem Reich UV-12 durch den frühzeitigen Ausfall beeinträchtigt wurde, und bedanken uns für Deine ehrliche Rückmeldung.
Dein Fritz Berger Team
