The UV bulb has an effective lifespan of 12 months (9000 hours). This should be
changed without fail in order for the unit to remain effective and fit for purpose.
Is the UV suitable for salt water use?
The UV is manufactured from materials that will not corrode in salt water, however
the stainless steel bracket will. Use alternative mounting means when

24 hours a day. For external applications, if the unit is frost protected it may be left
