The Hydro-UV Pond Clarifier clears pond water by killing the microscopic algae that clouds the water. The algae is exposed to ultraviolet light killing them as the pond water is pumped through the UV Pond Clarifier. Over a period of a few days the algae begins to decompose and gets trapped in your filter. This filter
- Reduces micro-organisms and bacteria that cause green water
- Helps balance the pond and maintain clean water
Keep your pond water clean and clear all year long
The modular body with three connection points allow you to customize just the right number of UV’s for your total pond volume and flow rate of your pump. The clarifiers can be daisy-chained together to give you the maximum clarifying power possible. Each clarifier comes with a viewing port so you can easily check the status of the UV bulb inside. For best performance, replace bulbs annually.

For an ultraviolet pond clarifier to work properly, two factors must be taken into consideration.
- It must be sized correctly to the volume of your pond. If your pond is 3000 gallons, select a UV that is designed for at least 3000 gallons. Always choose a larger unit if possible.
- The proper amount of water must be pumped through the UV.
Important things to know for clear pond water
If your pump is too large and water is pumped through the UV too fast, the algae does not have enough contact time with the ultraviolet light and is not killed. If the water is pumped through the UV too slowly, the algae can reproduce in the pond faster than it is being killed by the UV.
Keep in mind that no matter how effective, a UV clarifier still relies on regular pond maintenance and good husbandry to keep green water at bay. Address the conditions that encourage green water, such as excess nutrients and light, to get the most effective use out of your UV clarifier.
