allpondsolutions 36w UV Light Steriliser for Pond & Aquarium - CUV-136 Fish Tank & Pond Clarifier - Helps Remove Algae and Greenwater

The product is good and sturdy and looks easy to fit, which as of yet I've not fitted

Every year I get a problem with a type of algae that grows over everything and so far can find little that touches it, but I also get a problem with single celled green algae that this year literally turned my koi pond into pea soup. I've tried numerous "chemical/biological" treatments and none have worked, these frequently have had mainly five star reviews saying how they have produced crystal clear water yet plainly these have been fake reviews since I've found just like all those who gave them one star that they were useless. So I started looking at UV as a solution and once again I was faced with numerous 5 star reviews stating how good it was and then one star ones saying how useless it was, although I have to say some of these negative reviews weren't necessarily regarding green algae. I was also rather sceptical since my pond filter has a built in UV lamp and that plainly wasn't sorting the issue. Further research showed that my in built lamp was to sterilise the water leaving the filter so obviously wasn't a green algae solution. I decided I needed an extra inline UV lamp before the filter and picked this one since it was close to my flow rate but allowed some wriggle room to make sure it wasn't trying to work on a wrong flow rate. Now this is where it's going to start sounding like a fake review but literally within 24 it really did look like the water was clearing, not a lot but definitely better. Within days it was obviously working and the water was looking clearer! We are now into the third week since I fitted it and the pond is almost clear of the green algae. Do not buy this for anything other than getting rid of green algae, it only has an impact on algae but unfortunately despite it being advertised as this use and this use only some buyers have bought it for brown or other types of water and then given it negative reviews for not working. I only wish I'd taken a before and after picture but I never imagined it would firstly work this quick or secondly work this well. So to repeat if you have a problem with green algae get one of these (make sure you get one suited to your pump) it really really does work!

It fits the description and has helped with clearing the pond.

Another great product from All Pond Solutions! Thanks.

FIRE HAZARD Bought this 2 days ago. After studying the instructions fitted this to the side of my pond. After getting the waterflow flowing correctly turned the UV lamp on. After 10mins staring at how good it looked noticed that there was no uv light showing through the side spy glass. At this point checked plug was fitted correctly before checking if I had correctly refitted the uv tube after its first inspection. The newly fitted uv tube had blown. Couldn't believe it just my luck. I rushed to prestwood aquatics and purchased a Philips uv tube costing me £37. Got home and fitted it straight away. The same happened again!!!!. The transformer was faulty and that hot that it was starting to melt and smelt that way also. The transformer had been positioned in its correct vertical position against the wooden sides of my pond. It had got that hot a burnt mark had been left.. Have applied for a return but also shocked I have to pay the postage using a printed off return label. This item has been nothing but trouble and worked out to be a very expensive adventure..Be warned ⚠️ you might get a dangerous one like me.

Long-Term test. Good price and works well. Would buy again

So far the 36w is clearing the water.

Wow.. what a difference in just over 72 hours.. Turned of all airators pumps.. totally clear water.. awesome bit of kit
