My Ecoquest Fresh Air Purifier is giving me a warning to replace bulb. I don't see anywhere on the manual where the bulb is.

Make sure you have the starter use with replacement bulb. Usually comes with replacement bulb. Open the back of th unit by removing the cover.

Look through the settings to see if there is a reset option for warnings or for lamp warnings. Many products with lamps require you to not only replace the lamp but to reset the warning.

The Spectrum is no longer being manufactured/distributed by EcoQuest (now Vollara). We don't have extra bulbs in stock, either, but we can try to locate one from another dealer if you'd like. email us at [email protected]. We've been with the company 20+ years.

1. Unplug the purifier
2. Remove the two screws on the back cover and remove the cover.
3. Remove the two screws on the the top that hold the lint screen and remove the screen.
4. Remove the purification plate by sliding it out.
5. Remove the RCI target plate by sliding it out.
6. Disconnect the purification plate contact lead wires from the purifier plate cage.
7. Remove the two screws at the bottom of the plate cage.
8. Slide the cage forward, lift and remove the cage.
9. Rotate the uv bulb a quarter of a turn and lift it out of the unit.
10. Install the new uv bulb and rotate it a quarter of a turn to lock it.
Perform steps 1-9 in reverse order to reassemble the purifier.

The UV light is a Flourescent like bulb. It has a starter. The starter and bulb can be bought on Ebay for about $20. It is easy to replace.

Yes it will. But do not run it on ozone mode while you or pets are present.

There is a problem with the main circuit board. Ecoquest will replace the circuit board. If the Fresh Air is still under warranty you have to pay shipping. If it is not under warranty, you'll have to pay all of the repair cost. You'll need to call to get an RMA number before you send it in, either way.

The light bulb is a tube style that clips in - - kind of like replacing a flourescent light bulb T-8, T-10 style. Try rotating it so that the end pins align themselves properly for removal. Simple !!

Its probably the starter. Manual says to replace both lamp and starter at same time.

UV bulbs, or rather the RCI cell needs to be changed every three years in the FreshAir, or when the "Replace RCI cell" appears, whichever comes first. The UV bulb loses its intensity over this period of time.
