Know before you buy
This unit is specifically designed for the PS1FB skimmer model. It replaces the existing PVC divider, so ensure your skimmer matches this configuration before purchasing.
No, this is specifically engineered for skimmers that utilize filter brush racks. It is not compatible with skimmers that use standard filter pads.
Installing the 36-watt UV clarifier will reduce your maximum flow rate from 100 GPM to approximately 60 GPM. This reduction is intentional, as it provides the necessary exposure time for the UV light to effectively neutralize algae and microorganisms.
Not at all. The system is designed for straightforward maintenance, and replacement bulbs and quartz sleeves are readily available to keep your pond water clear throughout the season.
