UV Light Replacement

rjla67 · 02/15/2012, 12:46 AM

Hey all, just a quick question for those that use a UV Sterilizer- How long do most go before replacing the UV bulb in the unit? I've had mine running now for about 4 months, and wasn't sure if I should replace it at 6 or 12 months. TIA.

Most will tell you to do it at 6 months... I usually push it to 9 months (because Im a cheapskate).

Ah, good to know. I'll add one when I also replace the T5's to make it easy and so I won't forget. Thanks for the advice.
