The benefits of UVC - newbie question
Put it this way.....Don't get UVC and I pretty well bet with the first
algae bloom, you wished you had it. You will soon spend more time combating and trying to knock back the algae than enjoying the pond and fish...... I live in a hollow here too, but it seems to work opposite as it seems to shelter this area from frosts. There is a very small strip of land that runs along the rivers bott0om land area that just never seems to get any of the heavy frosts or cold weather. Anyway, The fisheries dept here has told me that algae laden water to a point is fine, but after a point it soon bevcmes a hot bed for problems.......so what I have found with the UVC is I use it for killing algae, and have yet to have a need to dose most anya of the preforms due to a sickness or problem, even though I do a PP treatment just to celan up water etc after the idle period of fall and winter is over.....so I still use PP in conjunctin with UVC.

Now my question would be on the UVC side...... My understanding of UV usage in the marine aquatic side is that it is used for prevention of parasites etc. Does the same theory apply to Ponds as well with this UVC unit? Or is it just a water clarifier? TIA Gill ------- I forgot more about ponds and koi than I'll ever know! |
