The Pressure Filter ...
I have been going to this show for 11 years and always try to "discover" what's "Top Of The Pops" ..... by this I mean not what is new and revolutionary but what has been adopted by the industry in general and has become something of a standard offering. This is a sure sign of success in the marketplace.
This year the product that everyone was offering was the pressurized biofilter and UV combined. and the one I liked best was the Fish Mate model because it contained Alfagrog biomedium (called Supra in USA). Here's how it works ...
1. UV destroys algae by slowly passing the algae in front of the UV light.
2.
The clumps of dead algae are removed by foam sections in the filter ... these
foam sections are easily cleaned
3. The biological chamber contains Alfagrog
or Supra in USA ... a superior biofilter medium. Here's where the water is
purified
These 3 actions described above together provide crystal clear pond water all year round and so long as the unit is run and installed according to the manufacturers instructions this is guaranteed

achieved by using aqua ultraviolet.
The phrase aqua ultraviolet refers to using ultraviolet lights or uv pond lights for short.
Fish can live long contented lives in garden ponds that might be full of green algae.
For us green algae in fish ponds and cloudy ponds are potential eyesores.
Simple aqua ultraviolet solves a green algae in fish ponds problem permanently.
Clear garden ponds is an absolute essential for garden pond enjoyment.
Sooner or later all garden ponds get green algae blooms and this occurs sooner in most cases. Pond algae control is then called for using uv pond lights ( aqua ultraviolet ) to remove algae in fish ponds.
Water that is like pea soup is the result of a vast population of green algae in fish ponds feeding off nutrients in your garden ponds. If you have fish you need pond algae control using aqua ultraviolet.
Under these circumstances it becomes impossible to see anything below about 2 cm (1) from the garden ponds surface. In general the fish do not mind too much but the owner of the fish certainly does. Fish pond algae is an eyesore.
Draining garden ponds and filling with fresh water rectifies the problem only for a very short space of time until the green algae in fish ponds colonies build up again. Green algae multiply at the rate of 30 times per hour under ideal conditions!! This means clear water one day, green water the next literally. Changing water is not an option in pond algae control.

If the fish pond algae problem is not resolved in a garden pond it is very likely that the fish will eventually die. The reason is that green fish pond algae are plants and therefore need oxygen to photosynthesise. Pond algae control using aqua ultraviolet is the only truly effective way.
If the population of green fish pond algae is very large they can remove all the oxygen from the water thereby suffocating the fish. Other harmful conditions start to appear in untreated green water situations. This makes it obvious that pond algae control is essential for pond health and appearance.
Large quantities of dead green fish pond algae can also sink to the bottom of the pond and create another serious health problem for the fish as the green algae decomposes.
The message green water is not just an eyesore, it is potentially a deadly serious situation for the fish in your pond.
Clear water as distinct from clean or purified water is obtained by using an ultraviolet Clarifier (UV for short) or an aqua ultraviolet unit.
These pond products have been one of the best inventions ever for the pond keeper but surprisingly only a very small percentage of pond keepers know of their existence. The rest live with green algae pond problems.
Other common names for the same thing:
Also known as uv pond filters, uv filters for ponds, pond ultraviolet lights, uv filters for water gardens, ultraviolet filter, ultraviolet water purifier, ultraviolet water filters they all do the same job namely ensure highly effective pond algae control by removing green algae in fish ponds.
Of course to remind you we refer specifically to types of algae in fish ponds that are suspended in water and are thus exposed to the ultraviolet light. Not the type of algae in koi fish ponds that stick to the walls of the pond. String algae removal is another problem altogether and is notoriously difficult to remove once the string algae in pond or blanket algae is established.
