PondH2o UVC bulbs work to clear your pond or aquarium water by removing unsightly green algae . The strong ultraviolet light breaks down the algae in the water. UV lamps contain a very small amount of mercury which with the gas inside the lamp emit the bacteria killing light. Never look directly at a UV lamp when it is on as will damage your eyes.  The effective life of a replacement T8 UV-C Germicidal Lamp Bi Pin lamp is approx 8000 hours, after this point it will seem to be working but in fact the effectiveness of the lamp will be decreasing. Changing a bulb twice annually will usually be good enough to maintain the filter light unit.

Spent UV bulbs should be disposed as with accordance with state and national laws.  Never placed directly into the domestic trash system due to the mercury element within the UV lamp.
