The UV-C is a luminated appliance that emits radiation in a confined environment. Its purpose is to eliminate free-floating organisms from pond water. It works by nullifying bacteria, small protozoa, fungi and viruses which active algae needs to feed on to survive. It therefore controls algae growth.
UV Clarifiers are not filters in the sense that they detoxify the water. Their purpose is to kill the unicellular algae which are mainly responsible for green water. Basically a UV consists of a tube within a tube. The water flows through an outer tube and over the UV lamp that is housed in the inner tube. Lamp size depends on litreage.
