G13/T145 Aqua Cure Replacement Lamp Contacts - Set of 2 (AQUVT13)

This set of two G13/T145 button contacts is the correct replacement for the concealed end cap UV systems sold via Aqua Cure. WrekinWater supplies them as part AQUVT13, and each contact secures its connecting wire with a simple screw terminal. They're a quick, low-cost fix where a UV lamp is losing connection at the end cap rather than the lamp itself being faulty.

Signs you need this part

• The UV lamp flickers or dims intermittently rather than staying lit steadily.
• The lamp fails to strike at all despite testing fine in another fitting.
• You notice blackening, corrosion, or pitting on the old contacts when the end cap is opened.
• The lamp loses power if the end cap or lamp is nudged slightly.

These button contacts complete the electrical connection between the UV lamp's end pins and the wiring inside the concealed end cap. As they corrode or lose their spring tension over time, the connection becomes intermittent, so the lamp can flicker, fail to start, or drop out completely - even though a brand new lamp fitted into worn contacts will show exactly the same fault.

WrekinWater is a family run water treatment retailer based in Bettisfield, Shropshire, rated Excellent on Trustpilot, and stocks UV system spares like these Aqua Cure contacts for customers maintaining their own equipment.

How to fit it

1. Isolate the power supply to the UV unit before opening anything.
2. Isolate the water supply if the end cap needs to be removed from the housing.
3. Open the concealed end cap and disconnect the wire from the old contact's screw terminal.
4. Remove the worn contact from the end cap housing.
5. Fit the new contact and reconnect the wire securely to its screw terminal.
6. Refit the end cap, restore power and water, and confirm the lamp lights correctly.
