R).  REPLACING THE UV BULB

The ozone UV bulb will need replacing after approximately 9,000 hours of use.  A unique feature of the 

AE-50

 is 

that the unit comes with an exclusive “Change Bulb” indicator.  When this light is on, it will be time to replace the 
bulb.  Order the replacement bulb noted above from your dealer.  The replacement bulb will come with complete 
instructions on how to change it.  A condensed version is noted below:

When replacing the UV bulb, we strongly recommend you remove the unit from the wall.  This is to ensure 

you carefully remove the delicate equipment from the metal enclosure properly, and seal back up tightly. 

Replacing the bulb in the Aqua Elite 50 unit.

1. Disconnect power from the 

Aqua Elite 50

 unit.  Coming into contact of the exposed ozone bulb can cause serious 

damage to your health.  

2. Remove the six (6) screws on the bottom of the unit.
3. Carefully pull off the bottom panel and slide out the 1 metal plate with the UV bulb and ballast attached to it as far as it 

will go – approximately 11 inches.  There is a tether holding it in place so it will not completely disconnect from the 

AE-50

 box.  Be careful NOT to pull out any wires. 

4. Cut the zip tie holding the bulb in the bulb clamp.  Be careful NOT to break the bulb.
5. Carefully pull the bulb from the white connectors and the bulb clamp from holding them in place and remove.  Be 

careful NOT to break the bulb.  Dispose of bulb properly after removal.

6. Snap new bulb in place.  Secure with the metal brackets.
7. Push metal plate back into its place inside the unit.  There is no need to add another zip tie as this was used for shipping 

purposes.

8. Replace the bottom panel, making sure the gasket is seated in the groves properly.  
9. Tighten the 6 screws back into place, securing the bottom plate tightly.
10. Reconnect power.  Make sure the bulb indicator (the clear connector on the output tube of the power box) glows in a 

blue color.  Again, you may want to check this in the evening hours out of direct sunlight.

11.  To reset the “Change Bulb” indicator light, you will need to push the two buttons (labeled “up” and “down”) at the 

same time and hold for about 10 seconds.  The “Change Bulb” LED light should go off at that point and be 
recalibrated for the new UV bulb.
