Salt water systems demand professional-grade protection. The Ultra Zap Professional Pond UV Clarifier is engineered for salt water ponds, aquariums and high-demand aquatic systems where corrosion resistance and reliable algae control are critical.
Green algae build-up in fish ponds, tanks, aquaponic or hydroponic systems is more than just unpleasant. It reduces visibility, complicates maintenance and can deprive fish and plants of essential oxygen. This UV clarifier delivers a natural, chemical-free solution that controls algae at the source.
Clear water is not luck. It's controlled exposure.
Built for Salt Water and Marine Environments
- Designed specifically for salt water ponds and aquariums
- Professional-grade construction for demanding systems
- Suitable for fresh or salt water applications
- Ideal for aquaponic and hydroponic food production systems
Quartz Sleeve Protection
Each unit incorporates a quartz sleeve that protects the UV light tube from direct contact with water.
This added feature ensures:
- Longer globe lifespan
- Improved system durability
- Safe operation in marine environments
The quartz sleeve is the key difference between marine-ready units and standard UV clarifiers.
Why UV Treatment Is Better Than Algaecides
- No chemical fluctuations in water balance
- No harmful residues
- Continuous, controlled algae reduction
- More natural and stable water management
Ultraviolet water purification is proven technology that can neutralise up to 99.99% of harmful micro-organisms, helping sterilise water and reduce bacteria and viruses without chemicals.
Safe for fish. Safe for plants. Safe for production systems.
Application
- Fresh or salt water aquariums
- Marine fish ponds
- Aquaponic systems
- Hydroponic food production plants
Fish size, stocking density and overall biomass should be considered when selecting the correct UV size. For large ponds, multiple UV units can be installed in series or parallel for increased capacity.
What Size UV Clarifier Should You Use?
- 8 Watt for ponds up to 6 000 litres
- 15 Watt for ponds up to 12 000 litres
- 30 Watt for ponds up to 30 000 litres
- 55 Watt for ponds up to 50 000 litres
Correct sizing is critical for effective algae control.
Maximum Recommended Flow Rates
Proper contact time inside the UV chamber ensures performance:
- 8 Watt: Maximum 40 litres per minute
- 15 Watt: Maximum 60 litres per minute
- 30 Watt: Maximum 140 litres per minute
