Yamitsu Algae Master Pond UV Clarifier

The Yamitsu Algae Master UV Clarifier has been a trusted choice for controlling algae and green water in ponds across the UK for over 30 years. Renowned for its reliability and durability, this clarifier is made with UV-stabilised materials, ensuring a long lifespan and exceptional performance in outdoor conditions.

Key Features of the Yamitsu Algae Master UV Clarifier

The Yamitsu Algae Master UV Filter is equipped with several key features that make it stand out:

• Integrated Quartz Sleeve: This sleeve shields the UV bulb from pond water, extending its life and maintaining optimal performance.
• Large Inlet and Stepped Hosetail Design: With a spacious inlet and a stepped hosetail, the unit supports a high water flow rate and is easy to connect to a wide range of filtration systems, including many leading brands. The stepped hosetail allows connections to flexible piping in sizes ½", ¾", 1", 1¼", and 1½", making it versatile for most pond setups.
• Turbulator for Enhanced Efficiency: An internal turbulator maximises water turbulence, increasing exposure to UV light and boosting algae control efficiency.

Installation Guide

For best results, fit the Algae Master UV Clarifier in-line after the pond pump, ensuring water flows through the unit. If your pond has a severe algae problem, it may be helpful to perform a partial water change before installing the clarifier. The unit is compatible with 1½" solvent weld piping, though it comes with free hosetails for connecting to various sizes of flexible pipe. If you’re using hosetails, trim them to the largest diameter that will securely fit to optimise water flow.

Maintenance and Replacement Parts

Maintenance is minimal, but it’s recommended to replace the UV bulb every six months, as its effectiveness reduces over time. Even if the bulb remains illuminated, its UV output weakens with age. Used bulbs should be disposed of responsibly, and it’s essential to avoid direct exposure to UV light. Replacement bulbs and quartz sleeves are readily available, with the quartz sleeve providing extra protection against potential cracks or breakages.

Each Yamitsu Algae Master UV Filter comes with the complete unit, a protective quartz sleeve, and a UV bulb, making it ready for immediate installation. Replacement parts are available to keep your clarifier in top condition and ensure ongoing protection against algae in your pond.
