FAQs
How often should I change the 7W UVC lamp?
It is recommended to replace the lamp annually, ideally in the spring, to ensure it maintains its full clarifying capacity throughout the high-growth summer season.
Can I touch the bulb with my hands?
It is highly recommended to use a clean cloth or tissue. Skin oils can create hot spots on the glass surface, which may lead to premature lamp failure.
Does this bulb fit all Oase filters?
No, this is specifically for the 7W systems listed, such as the BioPress 4000 and BioSmart Set 5000. Always check your filter model before purchasing.
Is this lamp dangerous?
The UV light emitted by the lamp is harmful to eyes and skin. Never operate the lamp outside of its protective housing.
How do I dispose of the old bulb?
UV lamps contain small amounts of mercury. Do not dispose of them in regular household waste; check with your local recycling center for hazardous waste disposal guidelines.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not light up after installation
Ensure the pins are fully seated in the socket and check that the UVC housing cover is closed, as many units have a safety switch that prevents the light from turning on while the unit is open.
Pond remains green despite new lamp
Verify that the quartz glass sleeve inside the filter is clean. If the sleeve is clouded with lime scale or debris, the UV light cannot penetrate the water effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Oase 7W UVC lamp should always be performed with the power disconnected from the filtration unit for safety.
- Power Off: Switch off the power supply to the UV unit and wait for it to cool down.
- Access: Open the UVC housing according to your specific filter model's manual.
- Removal: Carefully pull the old bulb from the socket, avoiding excessive force.
- Insertion: Align the two pins of the new 7W lamp with the socket holes and press gently until it clicks into place.
- Maintenance: Avoid touching the glass of the new bulb with bare fingers; use a clean, dry cloth or tissue to handle it, as skin oils can cause hot spots on the glass when the lamp is operational.
Compatibility: This bulb is specifically compatible with the Filtral UVC 2500/3000 (pre-2019), BioPress 4000, BioSmart Set 5000, and ClearTronic 7W UVC units.
