Three 9w PLS UV bulbs in one delivery. A UV lamp is an annual consumable, not a one-off purchase - and at this size a single bulb costs more to post than it does to make. Buying three at once means one delivery charge instead of three, and a spare already on the shelf when the water turns.

When to replace it

A UV bulb stops working long before it stops glowing. The visible light remains while the invisible UV-C output fades, so a lamp that still lights up can be doing nothing for your water.

• Sterilisation: replace every 6 months (approximately 4,000 hours)
• Pond or aquarium clarification: replace every 12 months (approximately 8,000 hours)

On a 6 month sterilisation cycle, three lamps is 18 months of cover. Clean the quartz sleeve at every change - see our UV Steriliser Maintenance Guide.
