15W Philips Ultraviolet (UV) Replacement Tube

15W Philips Ultraviolet (UV) Replacement Tube

15W Philips Ultraviolet (UV) Replacement Tube is a T8 UV tube for purifying well water and other problem water sources. Philips states that it kills 99% of bacteria, viruses and protozoan cysts. It suits South African pond keepers and borehole or well-water users who need to restore their UV clarifier or steriliser to working order.

UV tubes lose effectiveness over time, so a fresh tube is the simplest way to get your existing UV unit treating water properly again. This 15W tube fits the Pond Medic and Ultra Zap UV Clarifier ranges and most other UV clarifiers. That makes it an easy like-for-like swap if your current unit takes a 15W T8 tube.
