Alutech UV-C T5 75W - up to 75000 LTR - SuperFish

Alutech UV-C T5 75W - up to 75,000 LTR - SuperFish is a powerful UV-C unit for larger ponds and is suitable for a maximum pond volume of 75,000 liters. The unit features a 75 watt T5 High Output UV-C lamp and a strong aluminum housing that reflects the UV-C light. This makes the available UV-C radiation more efficiently utilized and can improve performance by approximately 35% compared to a version without this reflective effect.

The Alutech UV-C is incorporated into the pond's water circulation. The water is pumped through the unit by a pond pump and exposed to UV-C radiation. This helps reduce suspended algae, bacteria, and other unwanted microorganisms in the passing water. In combination with a good pond filter, this contributes to clear and healthy pond water.

Suitable for ponds up to 75,000 liters

This 75 watt version is the most powerful variant in the SuperFish Alutech UV-C series and is designed for ponds with a maximum volume of 75,000 liters.

The actual UV-C capacity required depends on the conditions. A heavily stocked koi pond, for example, places higher demands on water treatment than a lightly stocked ornamental pond of the same size.

Factors such as sunlight, water temperature, fish stocking, feeding amounts, and the capacity of the filter system also have an influence. Therefore, for heavily loaded ponds, it is advisable to oversize the UV-C capacity.

Maximum flow rate of 20,000 liters per hour

The Alutech UV-C T5 75W is suitable for a maximum pump capacity of 20,000 liters per hour. This allows the unit to be combined with powerful pond pumps and larger filter systems.

Good flow is important for the operation of a UV-C unit. The pond water must pass by the lamp frequently enough, but at the same time must not flow through the unit so quickly that the contact time with the UV-C radiation becomes too short.

For this version, SuperFish therefore specifies a maximum pump capacity of 20,000 liters per hour.

Up to 35% more UV-C output due to reflection

An important difference between the Alutech and many simple plastic UV-C units is the reflective aluminum housing.

The aluminum interior reflects a portion of the ultraviolet radiation back toward the passing water. This means that not only is the light utilized directly from the lamp, but reflected UV-C radiation is also used.

This can result in up to approximately 35% more UV-C output. Especially in larger ponds, where large volumes of water need to be treated, efficient utilization of the UV-C radiation is important.

In addition, aluminum is strong and forms a robust base for the unit.

Powerful T5 High Output lamp

The Alutech 75W is equipped with a 75 watt T5 High Output UV-C lamp. This lamp is specifically designed to deliver a high UV-C output within a relatively compact construction.

UV-C radiation damages free-floating microorganisms when they are carried through the water past the lamp.

Suspended algae are a well-known example of this. These microscopically small algae can make the pond water green. By treating the algae with UV-C, they can clump together and then be more easily captured by the mechanical pond filter.

Helps combat green pond water

Green pond water is usually caused by large amounts of suspended algae. Especially during warm and sunny periods, these algae can multiply rapidly.

The SuperFish Alutech UV-C helps keep these suspended algae under control. The result is clearer pond water, provided the UV-C is combined with sufficient filtration and the rest of the pond installation is correctly sized.

A UV-C unit does not replace the pond filter. The UV-C treats the passing water, while the filter remains responsible for actually removing dirt and biologically processing waste products.

Helps reduce germs and bacteria

In addition to suspended algae, bacteria and other microorganisms freely present in the water are also exposed to the UV-C radiation.

This can help the Alutech reduce the amount of unwanted microorganisms in the passing pond water. This supports water hygiene and is especially interesting for ponds with a larger fish stocking.

A UV-C unit is always a supplement to good pond management. A proper filter system, regular water checks, sufficient oxygen, and responsible feeding remain essential.

Flexible connection options

SuperFish has provided the Alutech UV-C with various connection options. This allows the unit to be incorporated into installations with both flexible pond hose and fixed PVC piping.

For pond hose, connections are available for:

25, 32, and 40 mm

For a fixed PVC installation, the unit can be connected with:

50 and 63 mm PVC

This makes the Alutech 75W suitable for a variety of pond installations. Especially for the high flow capacities this 75 watt version is intended for, larger PVC pipes can be interesting to minimize flow loss as much as possible.

The unit features a practical Double Head inlet and Triple Head outlet, allowing for flexible installation.

UV-C lamp with approximately 8,000 operating hours

The T5 High Output UV-C lamp has an effective lifespan of approximately 8,000 operating hours.

Keep in mind that a UV-C lamp may still visibly burn after some time while the effective amount of UV-C radiation has already significantly decreased. Simply looking at whether the lamp still gives off light is therefore not a reliable way to assess the remaining performance.

When used throughout the entire pond season, it is advisable to replace the UV-C lamp annually. Spring is a suitable time for this, so the new pond season can start with maximum UV-C capacity.

Clean the quartz glass regularly

There is quartz glass between the UV-C lamp and the pond water. This protects the lamp from direct contact with the water while allowing the UV-C radiation to pass through.

For optimal operation, this quartz glass must remain clean. Limescale, biofilm, and other dirt can block a portion of the UV-C radiation.

Therefore, check the quartz glass during periodic maintenance and clean it carefully when necessary.

Robust unit for larger pond installations

The Alutech 75W has a length of approximately 74.5 cm and is therefore clearly designed for larger pond installations. The maximum operating pressure is 3 bar.

When installing, it is important to keep sufficient space free around the unit. Also take into account the space needed to later remove and replace the UV-C lamp.

The unit can be used in various types of pond systems and offers many installation possibilities thanks to the hose and PVC connections.

Powerful UV-C solution for large ponds

The Alutech UV-C T5 75W - SuperFish combines a powerful 75 watt T5 High Output lamp with a reflective aluminum housing, a maximum flow rate of 20,000 liters per hour, and connection options up to 63 mm PVC.

This makes this version particularly suitable for larger ponds where high water circulation is desired. The UV-C unit helps keep suspended algae under control and reduces unwanted microorganisms in the passing water.

In combination with a good mechanical and biological filter system, the Alutech 75W thus forms a powerful basis for clear pond water.
