UltraZap UV Clarifier Pond Series

UltraZap UV Clarifier Pond Series

The UltraZap UV Clarifier Pond Series is a UV pond clarifier that keeps garden pond water crystal clear by eradicating free-floating algae with UV radiation. It suits pond keepers who are tired of green water and want a clearer, healthier pond without relying on chemical algaecides.

Key Benefits

• Targets the free-floating algae that turn pond water green, so the pond stays clear and healthy throughout the year.
• Works through UV radiation. When phototropic micro-organisms such as single-celled algae are exposed to it, their growth is halted and further proliferation is prevented.
• Designed with the safety of pond inhabitants and the surrounding environment in mind.
• Avoids the over-treatment and residual build-up risks that come with chemical algaecides, making it an eco-friendly option.
• Helps you see your fish properly. Green water can mask possible injuries or diseases, and the algae behind it can deplete the oxygen your fish rely on.
• Gives you a clear pond that works as an attractive centrepiece for your garden.

How to Use

• Have a qualified electrician carry out the installation.
• The clarifiers are designed for outdoor use, but they must not be exposed to direct sunlight or rain. Shelter the unit properly against the weather.
• All UV light tubes and ballasts are tested before dispatch. They carry no warranty because they are sensitive to power surges, which can damage them.

Suitable For

• Garden ponds that suffer from green water caused by free-floating algae.
• Pond owners looking for a UV-based, non-chemical way to keep the water clear.

Specifications

• Light output: broad spectrum UV, with a significant part at the germicidal wavelength of 253.7 nm.
• Application: outdoor use, sheltered from direct sunlight and rain.
• Installation: by a qualified electrician.

Available Sizes

Available in 8 Watt, 15 Watt, 30 Watt and 55 Watt units to cater for different pond sizes.
