I replace the Polyphasers at the sites I'm responsible for every two years, or sooner if a direct strike is suspected. Just because they pass RF OK doesn't mean they're still doing the job efficiently. I believe it is cheap insurance even it means replacing a half dozen or more at one site.
I have recently heard that there is a new series on the market which may not require replacing except after a direct strike. I need to do more research on those. Maybe someone here has info on those?

Sorry for being a few days behind on e-mail, but...don't those gas tubes need replacing eventually? Maybe after 8 years, they've given all once too many times to stay on the job.
