Once installed and powered, the Vitronic 18 UV Clarifier begins its operation. Water from your pond flows through the unit, where it is exposed to ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light. This UV-C radiation neutralizes single-celled algae, preventing their replication and causing them to clump together, making them easier for your pond filter to remove.

Initial Clearing: It may take several days to a few weeks for noticeable clarity improvements, depending on the initial water condition and pond size.
Operasi ngawaskeun: The unit features an indicator light, clear tubing adaptors, and a visual inspection window at the top of the filter (if connected to a BioSmart filter) to confirm that the UV-C bulb is functioning. A visible glow indicates the bulb is active.

Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your Vitronic 18 UV Clarifier.

Mineral deposits or algae buildup on the quartz glass can reduce UV-C penetration and clarifier efficiency. Disconnect power, remove the ballast head, and carefully slide out the quartz sleeve for cleaning. Use a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution if necessary, then rinse thoroughly.
