Which UV light for Tsurumi pump?
I decided to buy a UV light as I cannot afford to keep buying bacteria (and
am tired of the hassle). Problem is I have to put it within a foot of my Tsurumi pump which is the 50 PN 2.75S model. This has a 5400 gph and 2 " outlet. The line runs 30 feet and then up 3 feet to a waterfall. All of the UV lights at the local store are for 1" and GPH less than 3000. Does anyone know of a light that is big enough for this pump? |

I have a Tsurumi pump and use an Aqua Ultraviolet. It has a two inch outlet.
I don't off hand know the pump model, but I have a 4,000-5,000 gal pond so it will be close. Another option though (one I think Ingrid uses) is to use a slower, separate pump. The slower the water moves through the UV the more effective it will be and you only have to run it when algae is a problem. Mine is currently disconnected, but if I hook it back up that is what I am going to do. I have so much plant life that I haven't had a need for the UV. I assume you are trying to get rid of green water?

Yes I cleaned out my pond this spring changed the water and had crystal
clear water for about a month. I have been using Pondzyme accu clear weekly but I soon get green water followed by brown water and then the string algae starts in around July. I have a 6000 gal pond with 30 small koi and goldfish none bigger than 4" and several plants although also on the light side. Could use more plants. But after three years of fighting will try the UV method. |

try a veggie filter. the UV kills the algae, but then what is using up the wastes?

I have used a UV for a while now. The best bang for your buck is the new
laguna power clear series. You can use a "T" valve to control the flow to both your light and filter or falls. 130 bucks for a 25 watt. clears up 3000 gal pond |

I agree. but added in this sequence
1. biological filter 2. veggie filter 3. UV without adequate removal of wastes killing the algae with UV is only going to make things worseIngrid Go Fig wrote: In article , wrote: try a veggie filter. the UV kills the algae, but then what is using up the wastes?

I installed one a year ago and do not have green water like before. They have 2" inlet and outlet fittings. Here is their web site: http://www.aquaultraviolet.com/index.html |
