How the evoUV works
The evoUV range of clarifiers have been designed to clear green water which is caused by single celled green algae and prevent it from returning. They will work alongside many different filtration systems but when used alongside Evolution Aqua’s pond filtration systems, the evoUV will help to deliver crystal clear and healthy pond water.
Your evoUV professional quality UV can be connected to your pond pump and filter with flexible hose using the stepped hosetails provided, or you can install the unit using hard pipe.
Installing the evoUV
PUMP-FED INSTALLATION
Install evoUV before the filter on the pipework run from the pond
GRAVITY-FED INSTALLATION
Install evoUV after the filter on the return to pond pipework run.
