FAQs
How often should I replace the Hozelock 24W UV bulb?
It is recommended to replace the UV bulb every season, ideally in the spring, to maintain optimal performance as its UV output degrades over time.
What is the part number for this bulb?
The part number for this 24W UV bulb is 1502 0000.
Will this bulb fit any Hozelock UVC unit?
This 24W bulb is designed for specific Hozelock Filter and UVC ranges, including the Bioforce Revo 9000, and uses a PLL fitting. Always confirm compatibility with your specific model.
How do I know if my UV bulb needs replacing if it's still lit?
UV bulbs lose their effective UV-C output over time even if they continue to emit light. Replacement is recommended seasonally based on reduced sterilizing power, not just if the light fails.
Can I clean the UV bulb itself?
The bulb itself is not typically cleaned. However, the quartz sleeve that surrounds the bulb inside the UVC unit should be cleaned when you replace the bulb to ensure maximum UV light transmission.
Where can I find instructions on how to change the bulb?
Hozelock provides an instructional video that can guide you through the process of changing your UV bulb.
Troubleshooting
UVC unit not lighting up
Ensure the unit is properly connected to a power source and that the bulb is correctly seated in its fitting. Check the power supply.
Water remains cloudy or green after bulb replacement
Verify that the new bulb is the correct wattage and type for your unit. Ensure the quartz sleeve is clean. Allow several days for the UV light to neutralize algae. Check for other water quality issues like filter overload or nutrient imbalance.
Bulb flickers or goes out intermittently
This could indicate a faulty bulb or a poor connection. Reseat the bulb firmly. If the issue persists, the bulb may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This 24W UV bulb, with the part number 1502 0000, is specifically designed as a replacement for Hozelock Filter and UVC ranges, including the Bioforce Revo 9000. Always confirm that your specific Hozelock UVC unit uses a 24W PLL fitting bulb before purchase.
Setup: Always ensure the UVC unit is disconnected from the power supply before attempting to change the bulb. Open the UVC chamber according to the manufacturer's instructions. Carefully remove the old bulb by gently pulling it from its fitting. Insert the new 24W UV bulb, ensuring it is securely seated. Close the UVC chamber and reconnect the power. A video guide is available from Hozelock for detailed step-by-step instructions.
Care: While the bulb itself does not require cleaning, the quartz sleeve surrounding it should be cleaned periodically when the bulb is replaced. This ensures maximum UV light transmission. Handle the new bulb by its plastic base to avoid getting oils from your skin on the glass, which can reduce its efficiency. It is recommended to replace the bulb every season, ideally in the spring, as its UV output decreases over time.
