Using \u003cstrong\u003e18 watts of UVC power\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Vitronic exposes passing pond water to ultraviolet radiation, helping control the microorganisms responsible for green and cloudy water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUVC clarification works by disrupting the cell structure of suspended algae as water passes through the unit. The affected particles can then be more effectively captured by the pond filtration system. This makes the Vitronic 18W an excellent addition to pond filtration systems where persistent green water or suspended algae are affecting water clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for flexible installation, the Vitronic can be combined with a wide range of commercially available pond filters. It can also connect directly to compatible \u003cstrong\u003eOASE BioSmart and BioTec ScreenMatic² filter systems\u003c\/strong\u003e, providing a convenient solution for upgrading an existing OASE filtration setup with UVC clarification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit supports a \u003cstrong\u003emaximum flow rate of 3,500 L\/H\u003c\/strong\u003e and is suitable for decorative ponds up to \u003cstrong\u003e20,000 litres\u003c\/strong\u003e, ponds with fish up to \u003cstrong\u003e10,000 litres\u003c\/strong\u003e, and koi ponds up to \u003cstrong\u003e5,000 litres\u003c\/strong\u003e. Selecting the correct capacity according to fish stocking levels is particularly important because ponds with fish and koi generally place a greater biological load on the filtration system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward using the included universal stepped hose tails. The Vitronic supports \u003cstrong\u003e25mm, 32mm and 38mm hose connections\u003c\/strong\u003e, corresponding to 1\", 1 1\/4\" and 1 1\/2\" sizes. It can simply be installed in the water line between a suitable pond pump and filter, allowing pumped water to pass through the UVC clarifier before continuing through the filtration system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA built-in \u003cstrong\u003evisual function check\u003c\/strong\u003e makes it easy to confirm UVC operation without dismantling the unit. For ongoing maintenance, the quick-release mechanism provides convenient access to the quartz glass, simplifying routine cleaning and helping maintain effective UVC performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OASE Vitronic 18W operates from \u003cstrong\u003e220-240V \/ 50-60Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e, includes a generous \u003cstrong\u003e5 metre power cable\u003c\/strong\u003e, and has a maximum operating pressure of 0.6 bar. With proven OASE engineering, flexible filter compatibility and a 2-year guarantee, it is a practical UVC clarifier for Australian pond owners looking to improve water clarity and manage suspended algae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OASE Vitronic 18W is designed for straightforward integration into a pumped pond filtration system. Install the UVC clarifier in the connecting hose between the pond pump and filter, ensuring that the selected hose and flow rate are suitable for the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included stepped hose tails support 25mm, 32mm and 38mm hose sizes, making the unit suitable for a range of common pond plumbing configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor continued UVC performance, periodically inspect and clean the quartz glass. The quick-release mechanism simplifies access for maintenance. The UVC lamp should also be inspected and replaced in accordance with OASE maintenance recommendations to maintain effective clarification.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OASE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50534372933888,"sku":"03OU002","price":504.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/2346\/9824\/files\/WPUMP61161.jpg?v=1791246809","url":"https:\/\/pondexperts.com.au\/products\/oase-vitronic-uvc-clarifier-18w","provider":"Pond Experts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
