Reply to Ds4x4.
Ds4x4, well unfortunately I don't have any special equipment that I can measure to radiation output of the Ultraviolet Spectrum. But I assume that would be obvious of every type of Ultraviolet Bulb on the market.
Reply to DS4x4.
DS4x4, I have owned the same unit and other from Aqua Ultraviolet in the past and I have gotten the full 14 month bulb life from these. I have never had an issue with the bulbs. In my personal opinion Aqua Ultraviolet manufactures the best quality units for that niche.
