The OASE Vitronic 18 ultraviolet clarifier is constructed from impact-resistant plastic and comes supplied with high-quality OASE Phillips 18 watt UV lamp.
The product features an inbuilt safety switch that will not allow the lamp to illuminate until the unit is re-assembled, preventing user exposure.

Oase Vitronic UVC units can be dry-installed at the side of the pond and all models feature flat bases for stable mounting.

Atlantic’s external filters do a great job especially when adding the uv clarifier. We love our screenmatic 2. Having that extra filtration can allow us to stock plenty of fish in the future and the uv is keeping the water crystal clear in the middle of summer with very minimal shade
-
Great little filter Bioforce Revolution is an outstanding pressure filter with perfect levels and also water clarity too use them at my Koi Rescue in Gloucester
-
Good stuff
-
Great video. Where do you get your rubber reducer pipes from
-
Just subbed to you channel mate 👍👌

Love your channel! May I ask, I don't understand how the dirty water gets INTO the filter pads. How come the dirty water doesn't bypass them? Also, as I understand, the filter pads are different coarseness, does the dirty water enter them sequentially from coarse to fine? Finally, I live in Sawston Cambridge, if not you is there a professional you can recommend? Thankyou Pond master :)

Useful vid, thanks. I've got the biosmart 14000 yet to install it, which doesn't have any control balva on the waste pipe. I was going to fit a piece of 40mm flexi as I've got lots of that, what is the best way to connect that to the filter box? Also, apart from using a Blagdon in line valve, what else (cheaper) could I use as a tap on the waste pipe?
-
When installing the UV clarifier to the filter. Do you leave both outputs on the inside of the filter open? Or do you close one of the outputs off with the cap?
-
Really need to get one of these mate to relace my pressure filter can it be used with a retro fit bottom drain wanting it pump returned to the pond if posdible and want it on 1.5 inch pipe to waterblade
-
I have one of these filters and happy with it. Bit confused, I noticed you use a 3 to 2 and a 2 to 1/1/2 boot was there any reason why you just couldn't use a 3 to 1/ 1/2 boot? Luv the vids BTW
-
We have just moved into a house with one of these pumps….this may sound daft but how do we check to see if the uv light is working?
-
Hi Pondman, I bought one of these filters last week and got in to trouble right away. We connected a hose about 2 meters long to the outlet and that makes the water in the filter run over. I called for advice and the seller told me I can't connect anything to the outlet. But I see you doing it one several video's and is works! Do you have any advice for me? Thanks! Greetings from Holland

will this filter reduced the 'fines' returning to the pond, created by the pump impeller?
-
Hi, i am thinking of installing one of these in my 700 gallon pond, the only question i have is will it be noisy? I have seen a few reviews say they are. My neighbours are close fish by and i don't want to upset them, currently i have a kockney koi black box filter and this is quiet enough but i need a larger filter. Thanks Ash
-
Hi there, what size boot adaptor did you use for the sludge outlet?
-
Correct me if im wrong but I'd like to see a video explaining how much of a waste of money the pressure pipes are. No idea what people think they are pumping through pond piping but it seems like overkill!
-
Does the open claps go on both the insides or is one blocked off permanently ?
-
Hi I am thinking of adding one of these filters to go after my nexus to use as a fines. It says max flow rate is 5500 lph. Would this be ok if I put 7500 lph through it
-
Do you have to have the UV LIGHT to make it work?
-
I have changed the bulb but when I have tried to attach it back on to the unit it won’t seem to switch back in. Can anyone help?
