Pondmaster 02910 Ultra Violet Light Pond Water Clarifier 10watt Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This U V light system works amazingly well. Simple to hook up and use and very effective, cleaned up our pond water even faster than I expected. Our neighbors that have fish ponds are still cleaning their foam/mesh filters at least once a day and their ponds are still green. I'm cleaning my pad filter once every three to four days now and our pond is crystal clear. Very impressive that something this simple would work so well. I would highly recommend this pondmaster UV water filter to anyone.

Product Description:
Is algae making that pond water look a little green? This 10-watt clarifier uses ultraviolet light to kill algae and harmful bacteria for cleaner water and smoother pump operation. The light is submersible so it doesn't detract from the natural pond look, and, at the same time, its slim design tucks behind pond borders for concealed above-surface installation (with proper tubing).
The clarifier is designed to work in conjunction with pumps with up to 700 gallons per hour of output, and clarifies water in ponds holding up to 1,500 gallons. The cleansing, ultraviolet light is equipped with a 3/4-inch barbed intake and outlet for attaching flexible tubing. A vortex flow design increases water exposure time and the unit's slim diameter brings more of the water closer to the intense UV rays for optimal efficiency. An 18-foot power cord easily reaches nearby power sources. Soft, blue indicator lights show that the unit is working. Additionally, water can be pumped through the UV light and then into a biological filter (sold separately) where debris and dead algae can be trapped and decomposed.

Pondmaster 02940 40-Watt Ultra Violet Light Pond Water Clarifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have medium sized decorative pond that gets harsh western sun from about noon until sunset.Ironically, the algae got worse in winter.Visibility in the pond was down to about 1 inch.It was positively disgusting and it stank.
2 week after putting the Pondmaster UV filter into the pond, the water was clear as crystal.
However, as the manufacturer indicates, "filter" isn't the proper terminology.It's a sterilizer.It doesn't eliminate the need for a normal bio filter.This kills the algae and other parasites so the bio filter can remove them from the water.If you have a particularly green pond (as I did) clear the filter pads weekly until you've regained control over the algae.
Again, note that the UV system addresses free algae - not the string algae that grows on the sides.It's basic logic - if the algae is stuck to the side, then it can't pass through the steriliser to be killed.
Change your filter pads regularly until you've gotten past the 2-3 week period when you're waiting for the pea soup to vanish.All that dead algae needs to be removed.Make sure you get any old leaves out too - that will speed things up.
If you don't see results, make sure you have the right wattage, and also adjust the pump to ensure the water isn't moving to fast.Algae cells need about 1-2 full seconds exposure to the lamp to break the cell membrane and kill them.
Bottom line - it does PRECISELY what it says.
