allpondsolutions 11w UV Light Steriliser for Pond & Aquarium - CUV-211 Fish Tank Pond Clarifier - Helps Remove Algae and Greenwater

very happy with uv light and good value for money, the quick delivery was excellent and working well, many thanks jq.

Every year I get a problem with a type of algae that grows over everything and so far can find little that touches it, but I also get a problem with single celled green algae that this year literally turned my koi pond into pea soup. I've tried numerous "chemical/biological" treatments and none have worked, these frequently have had mainly five star reviews saying how they have produced crystal clear water yet plainly these have been fake reviews since I've found just like all those who gave them one star that they were useless. So I started looking at UV as a solution and once again I was faced with numerous 5 star reviews stating how good it was and then one star ones saying how useless it was, although I have to say some of these negative reviews weren't necessarily regarding green algae. I was also rather sceptical since my pond filter has a built in UV lamp and that plainly wasn't sorting the issue. Further research showed that my in built lamp was to sterilise the water leaving the filter so obviously wasn't a green algae solution. I decided I needed an extra inline UV lamp before the filter and picked this one since it was close to my flow rate but allowed some wriggle room to make sure it wasn't trying to work on a wrong flow rate. Now this is where it's going to start sounding like a fake review but literally within 24 it really did look like the water was clearing, not a lot but definitely better. Within days it was obviously working and the water was looking clearer! We are now into the third week since I fitted it and the pond is almost clear of the green algae. Do not buy this for anything other than getting rid of green algae, it only has an impact on algae but unfortunately despite it being advertised as this use and this use only some buyers have bought it for brown or other types of water and then given it negative reviews for not working. I only wish I'd taken a before and after picture but I never imagined it would firstly work this quick or secondly work this well. So to repeat if you have a problem with green algae get one of these (make sure you get one suited to your pump) it really really does work!

Read the manual before buying. The Ballast is roughly 1m from the end of the cable, so shortening the cable is not possible. The device draws 29.5W, according to my wattmeter, during testing, and the ballast becomes mildly warm. The unit has its I/O in multiple directions, so do consider where it is to go. The Ballast is also reasonably large. The unit is elementary to put together and didn't leak - good. I will update the review in a week or so and comment on the water clarity. The viewports are useless in a UK summer sun. I will try them again later tonight. The best part by far is the transparent hose tail with the spinning propeller inside, showing water flow. Update 2 weeks later. My small 1000L pond is now crystal clear after being green for years. Fustratingly, I also a month ago improved by mechanical filtering, so this is not a scientific test.

Works well a little nosier than our last one but put a small cloth under to stop vibration 5 stars given

This was a fantastic buy. I have a 3000 ltr pond which was worse than pea soup.I was incredibly skeptical as to it's capabilities. I bought the UV for a 7000 ltr pond. It arrived quickly and it was reasonably priced. It has now been on three weeks .Today as well as seeing my fish ,for the first time in months I can see the bottom of the pond!!!!!! I would recommend cleaning the filter after about two weeks at most. I will clean it again next week and then just do it every 3to 4 months. Ps. I am not a robot !!!

Easy to set up and cleared my 2000 litre pond in a few days from pea soup to crystal clear. I had a 12watt uv that couldn't keep up..Happy with this purchase although I'm abit dubious on longevity to the type of plastic its made from.

This uv clarifier is great my pond is as clear as crystal since having it connected

Purchased to replace previous 18 watt clarifier having looked for a price bracket i could afford. Had problems fitting the usual struggle with leaks and pipe clips that have a mind of their own. Ended up replacing corrugated pipe with newer more supple one as being outside for a long time they tend to become stiff and brittle .some of the clips on the market are poor and require a spanner to tighten. Finally mounted the unit on my shed next to the pond , another pain the ballast block attached to the cable means you can,t feed the the short cable through a hole in the shed to reach the electrics as with previous model. , so had to cut slot in door frame to allow access. Anyway attached plug and ran pump so water was running through unit as advised plugged in but no light showing in unit so gave up til next morning. Next day took out bulb and checked connection , turned out it was the clip in the bottom of the lamp holder , a small transparent clip which has to be pushed into the base of the bulb to lock it in place when you work out which side of the spring clips it goes in. Eureka!! we have light .. But for how long? the Ballast unit gets so hot i,m frightened it might fail and end up burning down the shed !!! Oh what fun.!!! One week on and the lamp is doing its job ok, have the " Pie Heater " resting on an old marble chopping block to diffuse some of the heat . Only time will tell how it goes on.. 1 year on new 18watt bulb still working but now can see band of light on body which shows up at night!! think this must be designed for people who use two outlets because they won,t have the sight glass. P. S. Some people buy uva lamps thinking it will kill Blanket Weed, it won,t you need a separate treatment for this. See attached photo to show you don,t need sight glass at night to show lamp is working.P.S. has failed after 2 years hole in body has appeared which was very thin , no wonder i could see the light through it !!! see pic. Jack Lumbered again.....

Excellent. Cleared the green pond water in just a few days.

Il serait bien, voire indispensable, c’est d’ailleurs obligatoire, qu’un mode d’utilisation en Français soit ajouté aux envois vers des clients français!

Pour mon étang ce stérilisateur a été fonctionnel tout l'été. Par contre, je ne l'ai pas rentré pour l'hiver. Donc, pensez à le retirer car le mien s'est fendu.
