Replace your broken or burnt out 150 Watt BioShield UV lamp with the Pentair 523038 BioShield 150/Watt UV Lamp. The BioShield UV lamp loses output overtime like any other bulbs. After a few years the lamp can appear to still be glowing. But the lamp may not have enough output to sanitize the water.
What Does the Pentair 523038 BioShield 150/Watt UV Lamp Do?
The Pentair 523038 lamp is compatible with 522638 and 522945 BioShield Models. The lamp sits inside the 65" 523042 quartz sleeve and provides the UV energy that enables the BioShield system to sanitize the water. The UV sanitization process helps inactivate microorganisms that flow through the BioShield unit.

Pro Tip: Pentair 523038
Setup An Inspection Schedule:
We suggest setting up a schedule to inspect the lamp every two to 2-3 years. The lamp will last around 2 years with 8 hours of us a day and around 2 years with 12 hours of use a day.
Clean Your Quartz Sleeve During Inspection:
When you inspect the lamp also check the quartz sleeve and clean off any scale, mineral buildup, or cloudiness. If it remains dirty looking even after cleaning replace it. If the sleeve is dirty, it will not allow UV energy to pierce through the sleeve and will make the system less efficient.

The Shasta pool supply web site is very easy to navigate. To-date I've always found the product or part that I needed for my pool. I'll check other suppliers to see how the pricing is but I will not buy from out of state vendors. I want to deal with someone local if there is a problem with the product.
