Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation
- Ensure the power to your UVC device is completely disconnected.
- Carefully unscrew the UVC housing to access the old bulb.
- Pull the old lamp out gently, noting the alignment of the 4-pin connector.
- Insert the new 18w bulb, ensuring the pins align and the unit is seated firmly.
- Reassemble the housing, ensuring all O-rings and seals are clean and correctly positioned to prevent water ingress.
Compatibility
This bulb is specifically manufactured for: Oase FiltoClear, FiltoMatic CWS 6000, Vitronic 18w, and Bitron C 18w models.
Care
Always handle the glass of the bulb with a clean, dry cloth or gloves, as oils from your skin can create hot spots on the glass and reduce the bulb's lifespan. Inspect the quartz glass sleeve during every bulb change; if it appears cloudy or calcified, clean it gently with a mild vinegar solution to ensure light transmission remains unblocked.
