UV-C clarification is indispensable for every pond. This kills the cells of the floating algae. If this does not happen, you will have the phenomenon of a green pond. The irradiation with UV-C light kills microscopic cells by means of a chemical bond of the DNA (cellular genetic material). They clump together and are removed from the water cycle by the filter. The size (wattage) of the UV-C lamp to be selected depends on your pond volume and the surface area of the pond. The larger the surface area, the greater the solar radiation and the growth of floating algae. UV-C devices with high wattages are of no use if the circulation is too small. We have often observed this in ponds that were planned incorrectly. The pond volume should be pumped through the UV-C lamp at least every two hours. We will be happy to advise you on which UV-C device is best suited for your pond. UV-C units must never be operated without water flow. Overheating would otherwise damage the unit. Caution: UV-C radiation is harmful to the eyes of humans and animals. Never look into the UV-C light without appropriate protective goggles. The light must also not irradiate the bio-medium!
