My water is green again. The red light is showing it is working. Could my bulb be worn out after six months

I found that it works good for the first couple weeks and then it seems not to work so good. You can try a new bulb but that gets kinda expensive

Pull off the top attachment while in operation and look down the neck of the unit. You will see a green light through the water that is being pumped if working. I've had mine for several years with no problems.

I bought my case about 6 months ago and change 2 bulbs.I have had no problems,but very limited use.

I havent had any issues with the one I purchased, but I know that you are not supposed to get them wet. You may want to check and see if the bulb needs to be replaced

The green flashing light only comes on when the water is running. I've had mine about 6 months and it's still working fine.

if you are worried about green water this light will take care of the problem

I have not noticed that problem. I still seem to be getting about 6-8 months with mine. I have 7 watt bulbs in 12 volt system, but am running several LED fixtures on this line, so I'm using less than a third of the capacity of the unit. Perhaps you're overloaded? Check the wattage of the bulbs you're running and see if you've got too much wattage overall. I also had a problem when I initially installed it where several bulbs blew. but it turned out to be one of the fixtures I just added. When I removed the fixture, all returned to normal. Must have had a short in it.

Sorry, can't help you. Haven't looked into that yet. I've been using mine A LOT since last summer -- about seven months now, of fairly heavy usage, and the bulbs are still as bright as ever. I do look forward to finding out about replacements eventually, though.

It design that way so you know it is working. I know, it should be solid green or something, but it is not.Mine works perfect so far for 6 months.

Get in touch with GProducts, the company that actually sold you the bulb. Look in your order history in Amazon.com. You will see the choice on how to get in touch with them regarding any problems with the bulb. The bulb is warranteed for one year but should have lasted about three years. I bought mine in octover. I hope I do not have the trouble you are having.

UV light is not visible to the human eye so you shouldn't expect to 'see' anything. The red light means that it should be working, and as others have mentioned if you do have green water you should see noticeable results within a few days.

I had the same problem. I replaced the bulb. It works for a while. Now it is going off and then back on again. I believe the ballast may be bad.

I notice that the water bowl area is yellowing or I just lift the filter out and check it, usually about once a week. You'll know from the muck that builds up on the filter. I've found that if the water is left running, the water tends to warm and that helps in forming algae. I would suggest the filter to be changed around a month if the water is not running constantly. We have our fountain on a timer so that it does not run at night.

Yes, mine lasted just 3 months, I was very disappointed given how much it cost me.No visible water inside, just stopped turning on at night.

Yes. A green light when there is water and it turns red when the water runs out.

I have had mine for over a year and use it routinely. I have yet had to replace a bulb.

Hi, my Brita is a little different but I guess that, like in mine, the light flashes green when filtering - when the water is on and flowing inside the filter.
