We can now supply replacement lamps for several of the more popular Trojan and R-Can UV systems.
Often it is hard for the individual user to buy lamps from the system manufacturer and if you can they can be very expensive. You can buy as few (or as many) lamps as you want from us as we have no minimum order quantity.
We list them with the part numbers but also the wattage and approximate length so you should be able to find the one you need. If it isnt listed please get in touch with us as we may still be able to source it for you.
It is usual to change the lamp in a water purification UV system once a year – after that time although the lamp will still light up it may not be producing the important UVC radiation that actually does the bug killing bit. If in doubt an annual change will help to ensure you are always getting a good kill rate.
Dont forget the quartz tube either! A new lamp cant do its job if the quartz tube its in is filthy! We can supply almost any length of quartz tube to order but we will need exact details of the tube from your system as there are so many variations.
UV systems use Quartz tubes because the quartz glass lets the special UVC wavelength though – if you were to replace the tube with normal glass none of the UVC would make it through so all you would have is a pretty blue light!
We can also help if the control gear in your system has broken. A UV tube needs a ‘ballast’ to run and sometimes these break down. If we cant match what is in your fitting we may at least be able to find you replacement part that will do the job
