Description
The author of the passage is discussing the benefits of using a UV Clarifier for fish ponds. They state that UV Clarifiers offer a permanent solution to reducing the growth rate of algae, are less time consuming to use, and are safe for the environment. They also state that the size of the UV Clarifier that should be used depends on the size of the fish pond. They recommend using a 30 watt UV Clarifier for ponds up to 30,000 liters, a 55 watt UV Clarifier for ponds up to 50,000 liters, and a 8 watt UV Clarifier for ponds up to 6,000 liters. They also state that the UV Clarifier should be replaced every 9 to 12 months, and that the carry-in warranty is for 7 days and the working warranty is for 1 year.
A permanent solution to reduce pond algae
UV Clarifiers offer a permanent solution for reducing the growth rate of algae. Using chemicals causes fluctuations in the pond environment and offers only a temporary solution. UV light technology are also less time consuming and need very little attention.
Is water treated with UV light safe?
Ultraviolet (UV) Water Purification is a proven technology that uses UV light to kill 99.99% of harmful microorganisms in water. UV water filtration is a safe, chemical-free way to treat water.
How do I control algae in your fish pond?
There are various methods of controlling the build up of algae bloom, some more permanent than others. Such methods include the use of aquatic pond plants, using shade, but a proven and very effective method is to install a UV Clarifier together with a Bio Filter and/or Sand Filter in the water circulation circuit.
What size Pond UV Clarifier should I use?
8 Watt for up to 6 000L pond water
15 Watt for up to 12 000L pond water
30 Watt for up to 30 000L pond water
55 Watt for up to 50 000L pond water
Maximum flow rates:
Slow but sufficient flow rates ensure enough contact time of the water when passing through the UV light chamber, therefore the following maximum flow rates are specified.
40 Liter per minute for the 8 Watt UV Clarifier
60 Liter per minute for the 15 Watt UV Clarifier
140 Liter per minute for the 30 Watt UV Clarifier
300 Liter per minute for the 55 Watt UV Clarifier
Installer's tip: To reduce flow on the UV light, simply insert a bypass line with a T-off line to divide water flows and control the rate with a ball valve and rejoin the main line again after the UV Light.
