Ultraviolet clarifiers, bacteria and water conditioners that turn green water clear when used the right way.
A UV clarifier is a sealed tube with an ultraviolet lamp. Water passes by the lamp and free-floating algae cells are damaged so they clump and get caught by the filter. It is a reliable way to clear green water.
We size and install UV clarifiers, plumb them correctly and explain what they can and cannot do. They do not remove string algae or the nutrients that feed it. We pair them with proper filtration, plants and regular cleaning for the best result.
Green water is made of tiny floating algae. As water passes the lamp, those cells are damaged, clump and get trapped. Within days the water turns clear.
UV works best when the flow is slow enough for water to spend time by the lamp. We match the unit to the pond volume and the flow.
Lamps lose strength after a season of use. Replacing the lamp each year and cleaning the quartz sleeve keeps it effective.
UV units need a protected outlet. We plan the power supply so the unit is easy to reach and safe to service.

No. The lamp is sealed in the clarifier and treats only the water passing through it.
Often a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the algae and the flow.
Once a year is typical. Lamps lose strength even when they still glow.
No. String algae is attached to surfaces and does not pass through the unit.
