To increase flow, you may require a larger pump. If the flow rate is too high, use an inline valve to reduce it (or use the digital control of a Blagdon Amphibious IQ pump). The purpose of the pump is to transfer dirty water from the pond to the filter cannister.
INSTALLATION UVC bulbs & quartz sleeve maintenance The UVC bulb must be replaced yearly – it is recommended that the bulb is replaced in the spring or early summer, in order to provide the maximum performance during the most problematic period of the year for green water. The quartz sleeve can become coated in lime scale build up in hard water areas.
