Yamitsu Algae Master Ultraviolet clarifiers are made from UV stabilised materials to ensure a longer life and incorporate turbulators to enhance the unit’s performance. The full range of Yamitsu Algae Master Ultraviolet Clarifiers have large inlet and outlet ports which make the Algae Master UV's suitable for a wide range of pond UV applications. It is recommended that the Algae Master UV should be installed using solid solvent weld pipe. Please ensure when doing this that unions are used for ease of removol for cleaning and mainenance. All Algae Master UV's come complete with free stepped hosetails enabling them to be connected to ½ inch, ¾inch, 1 inch, 1¼ inch and 1½ inch flexible pipe. Algae master uv's will also fit most popular 1½ inch household solvent weld pipe and pressure pipe as well with the correct fittings (not suplied).

If you have a severe algae problem you should effect a partial water change before starting the installation. Yamitsu Algae Master Pond UV can be added to any existing filtration system. For best results algae master units should be fitted in line, after the pump, with water being forced through them. Use the largest size of pipe possible. If hosetails are to be used, it is very important that they are trimmed to the largest possible size that will fit inside the flexible pipe (before glueing in place). This will ensure that the maximum flow rate can be obtained for the size of pipe.

Although maintenance is minimal all with the entrie Yamitsu Algae Master range the UV lamps should be replaced every six months. The Yamitsu Algae Master's UV lamp may be illuminated and appear to be working but the radiation dosage diminishes with age and is ineffective after six months.
