Whoops, I left my UV light on with the pump off
I turn my pump off 2 times a day for a hour (see other post) Now I read
the FAQ and it says not to leave the UV light on without water flowing. Did I damage the light? Its been on 7 days. Only 2 hours a day were without water flow. What happens when you do this to the light? Does it burn out? I will hook it up to the pump timer now, so then it all goes on and off at the same time.Thank you

With no water flow, the UV bulb can overheat and damage the unit.
