Not suitable for the 57W Twist or Classic units, or for other brands' UV sterilisers — check your unit's wattage before ordering, since a wrong-wattage lamp won't seat or perform correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow often should I replace it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAqua Ultraviolet's own instruction manual specifies replacement after 14 months of continuous use. Many retailers and keepers work to a simpler yearly schedule instead, since UV-C output drops gradually well before the tube stops glowing — either way, don't judge it by whether the lamp still looks lit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHandling\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandle by the base rather than the glass, and avoid touching the tube with bare skin — oils on the glass reduce UV-C transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenuine Aqua Ultraviolet spare part.

UV-C output fades well before the visible glow does, so a lamp on the far side of its 12–14 month life can look fine while barely dosing the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the quartz sleeve need replacing at the same time?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot necessarily — check the sleeve separately for fogging, scaling or cracks. Aqua Ultraviolet lists the 25W and 57W Twist quartz sleeves as separate part numbers (A10025 and A10057), so confirm which one your unit takes before ordering; if you're not sure, ask us and we'll check your model.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aqua Ultraviolet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55242260971811,"sku":"AA3775","price":159.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/AUV20015_20UV_20lamp_4e740137646cf.jpg?v=1782303898","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/aqua-ultraviolet-twist-uv-25w-lamp","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
