How often a UV-C bulb needs to be replaced, for example in the JBL PROCRISTAL UV-C Compact plus units, depends on its operating system. After a maximum of 6000 - 8000 operating hours, the output will have dropped so far that a change is necessary. In the case of continuous operation (24 hours), a replacement will be necessary after 250 days. That’s why in ponds the bulb is best changed in spring while the technology is being restarted.

No, this bead consists of mercury and is absolutely necessary. The bulb is only defective if the ignition filament is torn. _x000D_ After the lamp has been ignited, the temperature inside increases and liquefies this bead, creating mercury vapour. The resulting ionisation processes ensure the desired UV-C radiation to kill germs, bacteria and algae. Due to the mercury content, used UV-C bulbs may only be disposed of at appropriate collection points (e.g. for fluorescent tubes).
