• UVC MUST be plugged in to a properly grounded and GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected 120 Volt outlet !
• This product will not eliminate blanketweed/string algae
• Not for use in swimming pools or salt water

Combined biological filter and UVC. Ecomax gives extra UV and biological performance for cleaner water in garden fish ponds.

Here is how it works

1.	Water enters the unit and passes close to and all around a UV-lamp, separated from it by a quartz sleeve. The UV light makes algae clump together so it can be caught by the foam.
2.	Built-in 'turbulator' - the flow of the water through the UVC, created by the product design, increases the unit's efficiency by even exposure of the water to the UV light and eliminates the possibility of air locks.
3.	Water leaves the UV chamber via a venturi which aerates the water for a high oxygen content. The venturi's position in the filter is very important - the water is oxygenated before it enters the biomedia which significantly increases the effectiveness and activity of beneficial bacteria. This results in a highly efficient breakdown of harmful pollutants in the water.
4.	The water passes through plastic biomedia where beneficial bacteria cleanse pollutants. The amount of biomedia contained in the filter has been scientifically measured and tested to ensure optimum biological filtration performance and increases in direct proportion to the size of filter/pond to support a greater number of fish.
5.	A fine layer of foam traps any remaining solid particles as the water passes up through it.
6.	Clear healthy water then passes back into the pond.
7.	A drain is built in to flush out sludge which collects at the bottom of the filter. The floor of the filter is sloped so sludge collects around the drain for easy removal.
8.	Integral carry handles are positioned on the side of the filter to make the filter easy to lift if maintenance is required.
9.	Viewing hatch to observe the internal operation of the filter, in particular whether any maintenance is needed.
