How do you know when the light needs replaced or is it just a once a year thing. and if there is no water flow does the light stay on???

I do not have the manual with me currently-but I believe the light will give you a warning if something is wrong. Your best bet is to google trojan uv max for the manual and check yourself. There are other models with more "bells and whistles" on them too. Personally, I have ordered my annual uv light replacement. I will wait until the old one fails. The uv system I have is basic-only has 2 lights for monitoring, no counter on it. Good luck!

There is an illuminated counter that sets at 365 when the unit is first installed so it counts down the days so you will know when 365 is up no guesswork. The light is on all the time

The replacement light simply runs on a timer so it is likely just a coincidence that it came on now. There are no sensors that measure the quantity of water through the filter or quality or water output. Simply reset the filter reminder on the panel and wait till the next time that it comes on to replace.

that's a problem...if the water level is adequate and machine is cleaned, light should go off. Have you tried fiddling with removing and reinserting the water reservoir?

Yes, the UV light turns on only when it senses water flowing. Once the flow has stopped, the UV light turns off.

I have the same situation, but after a much longer period of use. My second filter was at the stage when the light would flash red. Before I replaced it, the light stopped working. I replaced the filter, and still no light working. Checking online, I found that, with the filter out, you can access the switch for the light. I pressed it and the light activated. Put the filter back in and it didn't work. Repeated a couple more time, with no success. I also read online that there is no direct relationship between the light and the filter itself; it simply tracks water flow. I have decided to keep using it until there is an obvious change in either flow rate or water quality. I have the same situation, but after a much longer period of use.

If the light is on and the water flows through it, then it is functioning properly. You should check to see if there is no water in the glass bulb compartment.

Honestly, I have had this for approximately one year and it has never had to turn on. I haven't lost power long enough for the water to rise to turn this unit on. If it saves your basement from water flooding, an increase in your water bill will be well worth it. Just my thinking.

I've not had this problem. I've owned 2 of this product for 4+ years. As long as the product sees movement, the light will stay on. I have mine placed in 2 separate rooms. The lights will come on as soon as the door is open to either room. Make sure that NO MOTION is seen by the device and it will not turn on unless it is defective.

Hey Dennis I have not had this problem however if you are or they are not using the water that is being filtered and stored in the reservoir then they maybe the issue! I have been in the habit of pulling all the filtered water out once a month to ensure water quality! Simply let the faucet run until empty ! By the way if you have a older unit with out the pressure switch for the light that could be the problem they have offered a fix to that problem and is available from ispring! Richard

You probably have a bush or something moving in the wind if the light keeps going on. But if the light is blinking and not staying on for 5 minutes at a time, suggest you set it to another interval for a while then back to 5. If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer.

Yes water needs to flow before the lights go on. The lights tell water temp so no water no lights. It pretty pretty good too.

Be sure the lightbulb in the base is okay, and not loose. We had to leave our lamp on for a long time before the contents would flow. Also, contact the company as they were good about replacing the first lamp we received. We were told the lamps do not ship well in cold weather, but the second lamp has been fine.

Yeah, that light. It went dead pretty fast and we didn't replace it. Do this instead: Write month and date of installation on both filters, and put it on your calendar in six months--and then replace them. Other than that, the filters have been great and function well.

The light is suppose to last longer than a month. I know it's suppose to have a year warranty on it. I've seen customers have them last a couple months, maybe up to a year. It just depends.

My light had stopped working too. There is a battery in them. I bought a brand new one and that ones light didn't work. I called brita and they told me that depending on how long it was on the shelf that battery could have worn out. I also changed my filter one time on the new one and no light. I thought that was the end of it. I just write the date on the back of it. When I changed it again....the light came back. So strange.

The lamp was bought for my daughter, but she has not mentioned anything like that. She seems to keep it on most of the time also. I actually looked at it yesterday while there and I did not notice any water underneath it.

it uses water to spend an internal power supply and the chemicals in your water has caused the motor to lock up therefore not generating any electricity power the lights mine is making noise now and probably soon. It will stop as well
