Plastic has the convenience of being lightweight, with carrying handles and a variety of entrances and openings, making them ideal for livefood, insects or for breeding purposes.

Over time, debris and waste begins to form in your pond water - which, if left untreated, can become a danger to the life inside your pond. This suspended algae, also known as green water, is then picked up by the pond filter pump and sent to a UVC. As the water passes through the UVC casing, the high power UV lamp destroys the cell walls of algae and makes them flocculate (or clump together) into more manageable particles to be removed by your filter. Your filter then easily sieves it out so the remaining water becomes cleaner and crystal clear!
