Replacement Power Supply for the 60 W UV Lamp
The Oase FiltoClear 8200 (gen 3) 60 W UVC ballast powers the highest-output UV lamp in the FiltoClear range. This ballast delivers the precise electrical characteristics that the 60 W lamp needs for maximum germicidal effect against algae and pathogens in large pond systems. Ballast failure is the most common reason a UV lamp stops working after a bulb change.
Critical for Large Pond Clarity
The FiltoClear 8200 serves ponds where water volume and organic load are highest, making UV performance essential. A failing ballast may still light the lamp at reduced intensity — enough to appear functional but not enough to kill algae spores effectively. If green water returns shortly after installing a new bulb, replace the ballast.

Installation
Disconnect the filter from mains power. Open the ballast compartment, unplug the old unit, and install the replacement. Reconnect the wiring harness and restore power. The lamp should light immediately and run steadily. If it flickers, inspect the lamp pins and quartz sleeve for corrosion.
Ideal for FiltoClear 8200 gen 3 owners dealing with persistent green water or a UV lamp that will not start despite a new bulb.
