    Hi, my dad's custom made sump tank for Arowana came with UV light as part of the sump filter setup. The light has gone off recently. There's no manual and I believe the brand is Dolphin. Is there a need to disconnect the hoses to change the tube ? Any tip where to start ?

    Thks.

    the light chamber is isolated from the light bulb. you should be able to unscrew the light bulb holder without leaking

    np, remember to switch off the unit first, and be careful of the pipes.

    do not look directly at the UV light

    test bulb only after proper installation
