How Ultraviolet Works
UV is a proven dependable method for controlling algae, bacteria, and protozoa. The ultraviolet lamp emits a germicidal ray which alters or disrupts the DNA or RNA of single celled organisms. By property implementing an Aqua Ultraviolet system in-line these organisms can be eradicated effectively without any harmful residuals. The beneficial growth on the bottom and sides of the pond is not disrupted only free-floating organisms that pass through the UV are eradicated.
