How do I replace the UV bulb/UV lamp in my spa?
Many, but not all spas, come with UV sterilization systems. Typically there is only one thing that goes wrong with UV systems and that is the Ultraviolet Lamp which needs to be replaced about every 12 months.
With most systems, failure of the ultraviolet lamp will be indicated by a shrill whistle coming from under your spa. This is your indication that it is time to
replace your UV lamp. Once you open the cover to your spa you may find an additional indicator light.
We've written a detailed article with a step by step video that shows you how to do this.
