Bonus!

W00t! It is possible to still purchase the same filter housing, the Hayward C-250. Well - at least it looks the same, except the pressure gauge is in a different place... the plumbing connections appear to be in very similar places... $180. Ordered.

And I looked for the bulb for the UV system. Hard to say for sure if I've found the right thing, but based on the plug inside the unit housing, it appears to be a T5F UV bulb base of as yet unknown length and wattage. More staring at the label to figure that out. The company that makes that UV system appears to no longer exist. A bit of reading makes it look like these systems are fairly interesting. The lamp should only be on when the pump is on, and apparently the quartz sleeve can wear out (between the bulb and the water.) I wonder how I would know that...?
