FAQs
How often should I replace the UV lamp?
The lamp should be replaced every season (approximately every 6-12 months) to ensure optimal algae-clearing performance.
Can this be used for salt water ponds?

What is the replacement lamp model number?

Is the unit waterproof?
The device is designed for outdoor use in pond environments, but it should not be submerged unless explicitly stated in the manual for the specific mounting configuration.

Can I run this unit 24/7?

Verify the power connection at the outlet and ensure the safety shutdown mechanism is properly engaged/closed.
