Easy Pro 36 Watt REPLACEMENT Bulb for PS1UV and EPU36
Replacement UV-C Bulb for Maximum Clarification
Maintain crystal-clear pond water with this genuine 36-watt replacement UV-C bulb for EasyPro PS1UV and EPU36 clarifiers. UV-C bulbs gradually lose effectiveness over time, and annual replacement ensures your clarifier continues to eliminate green water algae, control harmful bacteria, and maintain optimal water quality.
Even though UV bulbs may still light up after a year, their UV-C output diminishes significantly, reducing clarification effectiveness. Regular annual replacement restores full sterilization power and keeps your pond water clear and healthy.
Professional UV-C Performance
This 36-watt UV-C bulb delivers powerful sterilization at the optimal wavelength for destroying algae cells, bacteria, viruses, and other waterborne microorganisms. The UV-C light disrupts their DNA as they pass through the clarifier, preventing reproduction and eliminating them from your pond water.
Genuine EasyPro replacement bulbs are manufactured to exact specifications with a G23 2-pin base for secure connection and consistent operation throughout the season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this bulb compatible with my UV clarifier?
This 36-watt bulb is compatible with EasyPro PS1UV skimmer-integrated clarifiers and EPU36 external UV clarifiers. Both systems use the same G23 2-pin base bulb.
How often should I replace the UV bulb?
Replace the UV bulb annually for optimal performance. UV-C output diminishes significantly during the first year, even though the bulb still lights up.
Why replace the bulb if it still lights up?
UV bulbs produce visible light long after their UV-C sterilization output has diminished. The UV-C wavelength that kills algae and bacteria degrades over time, reducing effectiveness.
When is the best time to replace the bulb?
Most pond owners replace UV bulbs in early spring as part of seasonal startup to ensure maximum clarification power throughout the active season.
Should I clean the quartz sleeve when replacing the bulb?
Yes, always clean the quartz sleeve when replacing the bulb. Mineral deposits and biofilm reduce UV transmission. A clean sleeve ensures maximum UV-C light reaches the water.
How do I handle the new bulb during installation?
Avoid touching the glass with bare hands. Oils from skin can reduce UV transmission and shorten bulb life. If you touch the glass, clean it with rubbing alcohol before installation.
Can I use a generic UV bulb instead?
For best results and reliable performance, use genuine EasyPro replacement bulbs manufactured to exact specifications for optimal UV-C output and proper fit.
