What difficulty are you experiencing

The water is green

A UVC combined with compatible filtration can address suspended algae. Sizing depends on the volume, fish and permissible flow rate.

The filter clogs frequently

Examine the arrival and separation of waste. A skimmer, pre-filtration and systems such as ScreenMatic² can meet different needs.

Algae are attaching themselves to the stones

Identify their source and nutrient inputs. A UVC alone does not act directly on attached algae.

Choose the complete system

The pump, pipes and height affect operation. Exposure and the presence of koi must also be taken into account. The stated maximum capacity is not enough to define your installation.

Depending on the situation, maintenance, a consumable or an additional step may be enough. Other ponds require a complete overhaul.

Maintenance you can carry out

Check access, waste removal and the drainage of cleaning water. Automation still requires checks and consumables.

If you are often away, involve the caretaker in the selection. Remote functions depend on equipment compatibility and do not replace visits.

Preparing your request

Provide the volume or dimensions, fish, exposure, region and postal code. Add the references of the pump, filter and UVC, the cleaning frequency and a description of the problem.

Your questions

Do you need to replace everything

Not necessarily. In some cases, maintenance or a suitable replacement part may be enough.

Does a good filter eliminate the need for testing

No. Clear water does not guarantee all the parameters fish need.
