When to replace it

A UV bulb stops working long before it stops glowing. The visible light remains while the invisible UV-C output fades, so a lamp that still lights up can be doing nothing for your water.

  • Sterilisation: replace every 6 months (approximately 4,000 hours)
  • Pond or aquarium clarification: replace every 12 months (approximately 8,000 hours)

Clean the quartz sleeve whenever you change the lamp - limescale and biofilm on the sleeve block UV-C just as effectively as a dead bulb does. See our UV Steriliser Maintenance Guide.

Easy to install. The lamp pushes into its holder and the quartz sleeve reassembles as it came apart. Always isolate the power supply before opening a UV unit.

Which AllPondSolutions units does this 11w bulb fit?

Will it fit other brands of UV steriliser?

It's suitable for most popular quality manufacturers' units, but UV bulbs vary — please check the length and pin type of your existing bulb against this 11w PLS 2-pin lamp before ordering.

What type of bulb and fitting is this?

It's an 11w PLS lamp with a 2-pin base.

How often should I replace the UV bulb?

We recommend replacing it around every 12 months. UV output fades over time, so a bulb can still light up while no longer sterilising effectively.

My water has gone green but the bulb still lights – why?

A lit bulb isn't proof of UV output; the germicidal strength drops well before the lamp stops glowing. If green water returns after about a year, it's usually time for a new bulb.

Is this bulb suitable for both ponds and aquariums?

Yes — it's used across both pond and aquarium sterilisers and filters in the compatible range listed above.
