OWS-455EB 120V 25-40W Electronic Ballast for HQUA-OWS-12/6 UV Water Sterilizer, Ballast for UV Lamps, 2024 New Released

Works great and at a reasonable price

Priced right and works great.

Works so far had to replace every two to 3 times not this brand so far two months still working

I've only had this in use for a couple weeks but so far so good. I bought it to replace a failed cell Salcor unit which retails for over $300. I like that it has an integrated bulb failure LED and audible alarm.

So stupidly I bought a non genuine S36RL tube which as it ends up looking after the fact is not manufactured with the correct pinout. It instantly took out my 20 year old NLA 4 wire BA-ICE-1F ballast. So the replacement 3 wire BA-ICE-S (that probably would have run the generic tube) is $190. Or there is this intriguing guy. Got it, opened it, and it is awesome, a ballast in a little aluminum shell case, with a nice GROUNDED line cord unlike others and nice little headers for connections. Popped off the factory lamp wire that came with it, figured out the connections for the 4 wire VIQUA stepped end connector, cut the old cord off the dead VIQUA, and back together and running in less than 10 minutes. I did tin (solder) the ends of my wires but you probably could get by without doing so if you depressed the releases on insertion. Need a multimeter to pin out your tube, a #1 phillips, wire strippers, soldering iron if you want, and a tiny flat driver to depress the releases. You can actually buy the ballast that is internal to this case (without the case, cord, LED) and it COSTS MORE than this assembly. Will it last, who knows I will buy a spare and risk it. I can buy 5 of them for the price of the OEM.

ChatGPT made the suggestion I try this as a replacement ballast for my UVAire UV-12 and it's working great. Doesn't fit in the original housing but not a huge issue as I have a shelf beside the handler that this can sit on. Thought I was just dealing with a bad bulb and then a bad replacement bulb but this confirmed that was not the case!

This is a replacement for my old ballast that stopped working. So far so good with this new replacement ballast.

The UV sterilizer came with 2 ballasts. After less than a year, the first one stopped working. I replaced it with the spare ballast that came with the UV kit. I then ordered this ballast as a backup seeing as they probably only last a year. The second ballast lasted a little over 8 months. I opened this ballast that I got last December for a backup. Low and behold, this did not work straight out of the box. I guess I should have tested it before storing it for a backup. Shame on me. I have had 2 HQUA ballasts fail, and a third one dead on arrival. I guess I will have to check out another brand since I have no luck what-so-ever with HQUA.

Excelente producto, muy recomendable

Had this system installed for 6 years after water test failure on a dug well water supply. Ordered the replacement light tubes and ballasts. Had to replace two ballasts, they seem to last about 3 years. Change the light tubes annually. Easy to DIY install. Recommend this product!

Does the same Job as much more expensive ones!!!

ok
