FAQs

How often should I replace the UV bulb?

UV bulbs typically need to be replaced every 6-12 months, depending on usage. Check the manufacturer's recommendations.

Can I use this sterilizer in a saltwater aquarium?

Yes, but ensure the materials are saltwater-compatible and rinse thoroughly after use to prevent salt buildup.

How do I clean the quartz sleeve?

Carefully remove the quartz sleeve and clean it with a soft cloth and a descaling solution if necessary. Rinse thoroughly before reassembling.

What size pond is this sterilizer suitable for?

Is the external ballast waterproof?
