The lamp MUST be changed after 12 months at a cost of $40. We recommend that the filters be replaced after the machine has dispensed 1000 gallons. While the filters can last a bit longer, in order to insure a consistently high-quality water, it is better to follow this schedule. In some places the water quality is so poor that it may become necessary to replace them sooner. This is something to be aware of so check out the water quality prior to installation.

Over the course of a year that mercury is being used up resulting in a slight decrease of UV intensity. At the end of one year a Sterilight UV lamp has decreased in it's intensity by approximately 20%. See similar questions...
