Cool StuffUltra Violet (UV) Pond Light Systems
Ultra Violet (UV) Light Systems offer a natural approach to purifying water without toxic chemicals. UV sterilizers are designed to serve several purposes: to clear soup green pond water thus maintaining clear water quality, rid water of parasites and pathogenic bacteria found in backyard fish ponds, purification of drinking water, pools and spas and for agricultural irrigation water systems to prevent cross contamination.
This non-chemical approach is safe, simple to install and virtually maintenance free.
Typical environment benefits in pond applications are:
- Virtually all bacteria molds and fungi are destroyed improving water quality and clarity
- Controls odors - ammonia and H2S gases
- Destroys combined chlorine & carcinogenic chlorine byproducts & other organic pollutants in irrigation water
- Eliminates numerous toxic pesticide & herbicide residuals in the water including many corrosive agents
- Can actually contribute to stimulating good bacterial growth because it is a sterilization disinfection system for the killing of disease causing organisms
Below are some product links which can range from 5 watt units through 600 watts for aquaculture water applications. UV systems are also available at your retail home and garden stores.
