UV filter changing the tube. taking a look at the inside see how they fit together. Ultraviolet radiation destroys living organisms by irreparably damaging the DNA in the cell’s nucleus. Simply put, when algae contained in the pond water is exposed to the light from the pond UV filter, it is damaged to the point where the cell cannot divide and reproduce. This genetic damage slowly eliminates harmful algae from the water.

My pond is not the biggest or the best in any way, With that siad, people always say “how is the water so clear with no UV filter” I would just show them my filter & how it works Come to find out my pond (700 Gal. with 3 large fish & 35-40 little one) is much more clear than others with filters that friends have piad 0-0 for You need your water to hit the carbon first(you can get a bucket of Premium activated carbon @ walmart much cheaper than the fish store) then it should go through 10-20 layers of fliter map( i used swamp cooler mats) final layer @ the bottom should be lava & or feather rock (i used both) adout 8″ @ bottom For your return go to a pipe store and get some BULKHEADS these will let you make a water tight seal any size WITH NO SEALENT( i used two 2″ return lines) Just the carbon alone will start to make the water smell better the first day but the boi part of the filter takes a few weeks to really clear the water up I hope this film helps some one save some money
I started this pond in spring of 2009, Never knew it would take me four moths, and it’s still not done! But sit back and relax as you can see this slide show of how i build my koi pond Eco- System for under 0.00. Not everything is finished but it will be next spring when i will shoot my next video of my pond construction, were i will un-assemble the waterfall and build it more natural and much more careful! The 0.00 price includes all of what i used for construction, Except waterfall filter i just added a pipe over the rock and it was fine! `
