What sort of maintenance does a whole house UV treatment unit need? This
is the type that comprises a sealed stainless steel tube about 1.5m long
within which there is UV fluorescent light? Does the UV light need to be
replaced regularly (in fact, short of doing a water quality test, I
guess I don't know that it is actually working!)

Assuming it's a fluorescent tube, these have a life of about 3000 hours -
although the efficiency drops off somewhat before they actually fail
totally. Isn't there some form of inspection window?

What's this device for? Can't see the sort of concentrations of UV you'd
get with this having much effect on flowing water.
