The Aqua Ultraviolet 40W UV Lamp is a high-performance replacement bulb designed for the Twist 40W UV Sterilizer. It effectively controls algae, bacteria, and other microorganisms, by emitting a germicidal ray which alters the DNA or RNA of single-celled organisms, eradicating these organisms without causing any harmful effects to the water, keeping freshwater and saltwater aquariums and ponds crystal clear. Easy to install, this replacement ensures your UV system continues to provide maximum water clarity and protection.

Any light, over time will start to degrade which means the spectrum will shift and also the amount of light (energy) output will become lower than a new bulb. We suggest changing the lamp out once every year, but it greatly depends on how long it is on. 

When changing out the lamp it is important to change the quartz sleeve as they can become cloudy and coated with mineral deposits over time decreasing the effectiveness of the UV Lamp.
