The Tetra® Pond Bio-Active UV Pressure Filter with UV Clarifier keeps water clean and green-free. Using both mechanical and biological filtration to help maintain clear and healthy pond water, this filter typically removes heavy algae blooms within 1 to 2 weeks. Open-profile bio-activators provide a large surface area to clean with maximum efficiency as pond water is forced through. As single-cell algae pass by, an ultraviolet light destroys their ability to reproduce, providing permanent control of the suspended algae that cause green water. After running through the cycle, the filtered water is returned to the pond by waterfall or stream. Once your pond is clean, the last thing on your mind is getting your hands dirty cleaning out the filter. That’s why we designed an easy backflush valve that can help you complete the cleaning process in under 2 minutes. You won’t even need to open up the filter, just remove the back flush cap and you’re good to go. Back-flushing prevents dirt buildup so that all surface areas of the bio-activator media can remain active for biological activity. With its robust functionality, this filter has an 18-watt UV bulb for ponds up to 4,000 gallons.
Mechanical Filtration: Pond water flows down through the bio-activators, which remove suspended debris and dirt from the water
Uv Clarifier: The UV clarifier bulb exposes green water-causing single-celled algae to high levels of UV light, which destroys their ability to reproduce
Biological Filtration: We’ve maximized surface area on the bio-activator so that beneficial bacteria can colonize and attack harmful pollutants in the water
Easy To Clean: The easy backflush can reduce the cleaning process to under 2 minutes
Controls Green Water: This filter has a 9-watt UV bulb for ponds up to 4000 gallons
