A minimal amount of maintenance is needed due to the unique seven stage filter design. If you have a larger pond with green water problems, you probably will want to opt for a Blagdon Pro UVC. With four models within the range, each one is modular, meaning more units can be added should you need them, should there be an increase in sunlight exposure. Why use UV systems? UV Sterilisation is a fantastically effective and non-chemical based method for controlling suspended algae (green water) in ponds, in conjunction with proper filtration, leaving you with a clear view of your fish. It works by exposing the water to UV light, causing the algae particles to fuse together and die, in large enough clumps to be collected by your pond filter. These UVCs come complete with multi-hose tails, female solvent waste 1.5" sockets and an advanced power compact UV lamp system which allows twice the UV light output in the same installation area compared to conventional linear lamps. This Blagdon 28000 filter system has unique stages of the filter process specifically created to provide a beautifully clear and healthy pond.
This guide is for pond owners seeking clear, healthy water for their fish using the Blagdon Pond Filter System. The system provides a multi-stage filtration process for effective algae control and water clarity. Note that while this filter excels at removing suspended algae, it is recommended to use in conjunction with proper filtration for optimal results.
