Replacement UV Lamps

Tropical Marine Centre offers a full range of replacement UV lamps for our own pond clarifiers and aquarium sterilisers and we can also supply replacement lamps for a number of other brands of UV filters.

To run alongside our own popular, high quality TM range of UV lamps we also stock a range of UV lamps from GE Lighting, the biggest producer of lamps in the world today. These are high quality lamps with UV emissions and performance equivalent to Philips lamps.

How often should a UV lamp be replaced?

UV lamps, used for sterilisation purposes in our Vecton and Commercial System UVs, should be replaced every 6 months (approx. 4000 hrs) to ensure the continuous high output that is required for these applications. Lamps used for clarification of ponds can be replaced once a year (approx. 8000 hrs) without detriment to the effectiveness of the unit under normal circumstances. Whilst replacing the UV lamp, the quartz sleeve should be carefully cleaned with a light acid cleaner and washed with water to remove any deposits and dirt that may have built up. The quartz sleeve should be completely dry before replacing it in the unit. The quartz O-rings should be replaced to ensure an effective seal between the quartz sleeve and the plastic body.
