Important Notes About Sizing Your UV
Remember that the amount of sun the pond gets, the amount of fish
load (ie. fertilizer for the algae), and the amount of muck that normally accumulates on
the bottom (ie. more fertilizer for the algae) will affect the efficiency of the UV unit. Those who have ponds on the borderlines should generally go up to the next size.
It’s important to note also that most manufacturers of
UV’s rate the efficiency of their products at OPTIMUM conditions.
Their ratings do not take into consideration fish load and other pond
particulars. Don’t be fooled by reading the package. We have tested
the practical effectiveness of the UV units we carry and know what
they can and cannot do. We give you our experienced and tested
rating opinions so you don't have to rely on the manufacturer's
optimum (in most cases, over exaggerated) ratings.
Flow rates through the UV will also vary the
performance of the unit. Care must be taken that the water does not flow too quickly or
slowly through the unit. This is one of those times when we can be helpful. Call
the Pond Doc (Cecil)
at (770) 663-6325 if you have questions on which unit size and brand you should
use for your particular koi pond, goldfish pond or water garden.
