    Thanks so much for this realistic UV bulb change. It's great to see a video where not everything goes perfectly. Seeing what you did with the damp quartz sleeve has given me confidence for my own bulb change tomorrow.

      UV bulb changed :-). Had condensation in the quartz sleeve but 99.9% certain that's all it was. Thanks.

    Exact same thing happened with my pondxpert spin clean when changing the 36w bulb that plastic thing smashed and the quartz sleeve was the same i just used a cloth doesnt matter about about that other bit as the bulb stays in place without it

    correct me if I'm wrong...but as far as I know when you receive this Filter new, ya supposed to open the UV fitting and take out the plastic fitting tats attached to the bulb inside the UV casing.... those are supposedly meant for protecting the bulb when its shipped from the factory...the thing is tat hard plastic will become brittle and break with heat of the UV bulb......

      That 100% could be the case, it certainly would make sense. Good shout 👏

    I just got a pressurized cannister filter with a uv light and i would like to know if or how does a power outage affect it. Is it something i need to worry about because power outages happen quite often where I'm from.

      Hi, never had a problem if power goes out, all you would lose is the UV temporarily until power was restored 👍

      It is so nice, its almost teasing us into spring, The bulb change wasnt too bad to be fair although it cant have been too effective recently given the state of the quartz sleeve.
