If you use a bigger bulb the chances are it wont light up, and if it does then the system that is running it will over heat and could even cause a small fire. So in short, no. If you want a bigger UV buy the whole thing. But ask yourself if you need one? If the water is clear then you dont, if its green them you might. By the way, did you know that you should change the bulb once a year? And while doing that clean the Quartz tube that its in. That will all help with its efficiency. |
