The replacement UV lamp is a key component of an Ultraviolet (UV) Sterilizer or Clarifier system used in pond filtration.
Its essential function is to eliminate green water by sterilizing the free-floating, single-celled algae that cause cloudiness.
Here is a brief breakdown of how it works:
Emits UV-C Light: The lamp, once installed in the UV unit, produces intense UV-C light.
Disrupts Algae: As pond water passes over the lamp (which is shielded by a quartz sleeve), the UV-C light penetrates the algae cells.
Prevents Reproduction: This light damages the algae's DNA, preventing them from reproducing and multiplying.
Clarity: The destroyed algae clump together and are then easily captured by your pond's mechanical filter, resulting in clear, healthy water without the use of chemical algicides.
This specific lamp (the 9 Watt UVC Lamp, Item #31PS331) is designed to fit certain PondMAX filters like the PF750UV or PU09W.
