You should inspect the parts of your UV light water filtration system every 3-6 months for signs of wear or failure, and the whole system should be serviced at least once a year.

System parts should typically be replaced as follows:

  • UV lamps: Depending on the system, after 9,000-12,000 hours (or 12 months) of use
  • Quartz sleeves: Every 2-3 years
  • O-rings: Annually
  • Electronic ballasts: Every 5-10 years
