HOW DOES IT WORK?
STAGE 1 - MECHANICAL FILTRATION:
Water is pumped into the filter creating the necessary pressure
to begin the mechanical filtration stage.
Two foam discs collect various sizes of unwanted organic
debris encouraging the growth of large numbers of benificial bacteria
which break down harmful pollutants.
STAGE 2 - BIOLOGICAL FILTRATION:
At this stage the water passes through the bio-balls at the bottom of the filter. These have a large surface area & provide a habitat for beneficial bacteria
to grow which naturally convert the harmful toxins
of ammonia & nitrites into useful nitrates to supporty a healthy pond environment.
STAGE 3 - UV CLARIFICATION: The water which may contain microscopic suspended algae spores passes the UV lamp clumping and killing the spores to give crytal clear water.
WHY ARE Aqua Nova External Pond UV Bio-Filter - NPF10/NPF20/NPF30 SO EFFECTIVE?
Water is slowed down as it passes the lamp to increase UV penetration
Quartz glass tube covering the UV lamp permits effective penetration of UV rays.
Ordinary glass cuts this by 90%
UV lamp runs at optimum operating temperature in an enclosed chamber
Water is kept as close as possible to the UV lamp to maximise UV efficiency
Single ended lamps last longer and have higher UV output
UVC Lamp replacement information:
Correct procedure must be followed when installing the UV lamp. To avoid damage to the quartz sleeve, if you are having difficulty with installation, contact us for assistance.
After 8000hrs (12months) the lamps start to loose efficiency or fail. It will be noticeable in summer as the pond water may develop the dreaded cloudy green colour on hot days.
Filter foam maintenance.
The filter/UVC unit must work dirty to preserve the bacteria.
If foams are blocked, remove & wash only in a bucket
of non-chlorinated water (e.g. pond water).
The foams will often shrink.
The unit still functions but you can restore to original size
by passing the foam over steam from boiling water with care.
