Operacija

The Jebao NPU Clarifier functions by directing pond or aquarium water through its internal chamber, where it is exposed to powerful ultraviolet (UV) light. This UV light effectively targets and neutralizes free-floating algae and harmful microorganisms, leading to significantly clearer water and a reduction in unpleasant odors.

The clarifier is designed to handle ponds up to 8,800 gallons and supports a maximum water flow rate of 8000 GPH. For optimal results, ensure your pump's flow rate is compatible with the clarifier's specifications.

A small indicator window is integrated into the unit, allowing for visual confirmation that the UV bulb is illuminated and actively clarifying the water.

• Green Water Persists:
  • Check the indicator window to confirm the UV bulb is illuminated. If not, ensure the unit is powered and the bulb is correctly installed. Replace the bulb if it has exceeded its lifespan or is faulty.
  • Verify that the water flow rate through the clarifier is within the recommended range (up to 8000 GPH) for your pond size (up to 8,800 gallons). Excessive flow may reduce the UV exposure time, diminishing effectiveness.
  • Ensure the clarifier is operating continuously. Intermittent use may not be sufficient to control algae.
  • Assess the overall organic load in your pond. Regular pond cleaning, proper filtration, and appropriate stocking levels are also crucial for clear water.
• Curenje vode:
