T5 UV Lamps For Aquarium and Pond Use
T5 UV lamps are high output double end tubes that can be used in a UV Clarifier or UV Seriliser for aquariums or ponds.
They are a standard size that fit many UV units.
When should you replace T5 UV bulbs?
UV lamps loose their efficiency after around 6 month so we recommend with ponds that you replace them every spring to combat green water (algae) with UV clarifiers.
For use in a UV steriliser after 6 months of use a replacement should be considered for optimum performance combating pathogens.
How To Change A T5 UV Bulb?
Changing a UV bulb can sometimes be a bit difficult depending on the unit. Each unit can be a bit different so it is best to consult the manual specific to your UV unit.
If you are struggling look out for screws that may be securing the bulk head. Take care not to damage the quartz sleeve and remember not to loose any O rings that may come loose.
