Pentair HO question

[Yodeling]

Question for those who are running the Pentair High Output UV. The glow from my view port is green. Is that normal? I would expect purple/violet glow. Please let me know, thanks.

Bump. Surely someone else is running this unit.

Yes green is completely normal light bleed. Even the light bleed down my PVC is green

Awesome thanks!!!

Yes, I noticed the adjacent white PVC joints showing a tinge of mint green as well. This is what actually made me wonder, since I thought the viewports are probably filtering out the UV, but the PVC should be bleeding through more blue.

Thanks again for putting my mind at ease!

The big thing is anywhere standard PVC is turning green is technically getting weakened over time. Definitely worth checking/testing every 6 months or so and replacing if needed
