AquaUv reliability has been amazing. I have dozens of units in service with basically zero problems. I had a 57 watt unit get a soft pvc spot and start dripping. This unit was nearly 20 year old. The company replaced the housing for me and I just paid shipping.

I may just try to sell mine and get a AquaUV instead

I have a 40W Pentair in the garage where the light is shining through. Just been dragging my feet on replacing the housing. Such a pain for something this expensive.

Sorry, it's been sitting the garage because I pulled it from the tank. I'll start that project this weekend. Instead of a heat gun, I bought a PVC reamer to clean out the old housing.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes lol
