Know before you buy
No. This unit is designed specifically to target single-celled green water algae suspended in the water column. It will not eliminate string algae or other types of algae that grow on surfaces.
The Evolution Aqua UV Clarifier is designed for flexibility and can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. It includes universal mounting plates to accommodate your specific pond setup.
To maintain maximum effectiveness, the UV bulb should be replaced once per season, typically every 6 to 12 months of continuous use. Even if the bulb still emits light, its ability to kill algae diminishes over time.
Compatibility depends on your pump's flow rate. Ensure your pump's flow rate falls within the unit's specified range of 1,800 to 6,000 GPH to ensure the water spends enough time in contact with the UV light to be effectively clarified.
No, this is a UV clarifier, not a mechanical filter. It is intended to be used in conjunction with a pond filtration system to improve water clarity by clumping algae together so your existing filter can catch it.
It is recommended to disconnect and drain the unit during freezing temperatures. If water freezes inside the quartz sleeve, it can crack the glass and damage the internal components.
