If the ballast fails, the UV lamp will not illuminate — meaning algae and pathogens pass through the filter untreated. A flickering or non-starting UV lamp is the most common symptom of ballast failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRestores UV Clarification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ballast converts mains power to the precise voltage and frequency the 24 W UV lamp requires for optimal output. An underperforming ballast reduces UV intensity before it fails entirely, so replacing it proactively when you notice reduced water clarity — even with a new bulb installed — is good practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Model\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/oase-filtoclear-3400-pressure-filter-g3-24w-uv\"\u003eFiltoClear 3400 (gen 3)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM electronic UVC ballast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisconnect the filter from mains power.
