My UV sterilizer started to leak a couple of weeks ago, so I bypassed it until I could get around to rebuilding it. Yesterday I finally got around to the rebuild and started it back up....WOW...I didn't even realize how dingy looking the tank had gotten in the last couple of weeks, it has a sparkle today that looks like a Caribbean lagoon. The term, "you don't know what ya got till it's gone" comes to my mind. Glad to have it back online,... I am all for it ....UV for me.
My unit is a 40 watt...4' long tube....I run mine 24/7 for the last 3 years. I have changed the bulb out twice and the glass tube the light goes into once. Just replaced the tube with 3" PVC (I hope it holds up to the uv rays)
Tank 125 gal with 40 gal sump.
