Anyone kno anything about uv lamps in filters. The advice is always to
replace them each year, but mine is chrotling merrily through its third
year
and the pond is perfectly clear.

Do uv lamps deteriorate slowly or just stop? Is there any reason to
replace
them beyond giving profit to lamp makers?

cheers

I go by the old adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

But it`s best to clean and maintain it. Like a car, it needs a service now
and again or it breaks while your doing 70 down the motorway!
