Pond uv filter
 

the ballast/choke /starter on my uv filter has packed up.
Does anyone know if I can buy a new one to avoid having
to buy a complete unit.

TLC/Maplin/RS/Farnell/CPC?

Nothing special about the fact it is a UV tube - find some ordinary
fluorescent control gear that compatible with the tube wattage.

They are normally standard parts as used in visible light fluorescent
fittings. Electrical suppliers should carry them.

It doesn't know it's being used on UV ........... TLC will have one .. or

The unit that I have does not have the little starter (cylindrical white thing with two pins)
so I would like to buy one one that is the same.
Can you tell me what it is called;
TIA.

Not all units have a starter - they were an artifact of the older simple
choke-ballast combined with a lamp that required a high strike voltage.

The electronic ones don't need a starter as the functionality is combined
in.
