Which UV light for Tsurumi pump?

[RCM]

I decided to buy a UV light as I cannot afford to keep buying bacteria (and
am tired of the hassle). Problem is I have to put it within a foot of my
Tsurumi pump which is the 50 PN 2.75S model. This has a 5400 gph and 2 "
outlet. The line runs 30 feet and then up 3 feet to a waterfall. All of
the UV lights at the local store are for 1" and GPH less than 3000. Does
anyone know of a light that is big enough for this pump?

I have a Tsurumi pump and use an Aqua Ultraviolet. It has a two inch outlet.
I don't off hand know the pump model, but I have a 4,000-5,000 gal pond so
it will be close. Another option though (one I think Ingrid uses) is to use
a slower, separate pump. The slower the water moves through the UV the more
effective it will be and you only have to run it when algae is a problem.
Mine is currently disconnected, but if I hook it back up that is what I am
going to do. I have so much plant life that I haven't had a need for the UV.
I assume you are trying to get rid of green water?

Good luck,

This is the best UV on the market:

You won't be sorry with this investment, about $190

Yes I cleaned out my pond this spring changed the water and had crystal
clear water for about a month. I have been using Pondzyme accu clear weekly
but I soon get green water followed by brown water and then the string algae
starts in around July. I have a 6000 gal pond with 30 small koi and
goldfish none bigger than 4" and several plants although also on the light
side. Could use more plants. But after three years of fighting will try
the UV method.

try a veggie filter. the UV kills the algae, but then what is using up the wastes?

Hopefully the LAST TIME; a UV filter is NOT exclusive of a biological
filter.

I have used a UV for a while now. The best bang for your buck is the new
laguna power clear series. You can use a "T" valve to control the flow
to both your light and filter or falls.

130 bucks for a 25 watt.
clears up 3000 gal pond

I agree. but added in this sequence
1. biological filter
2. veggie filter
3. UV
without adequate removal of wastes killing the algae with UV is only going to make
things worse>Ingrid

Try Aqua Ultraviolet, Inc. I installed one a year ago and do not have
green water like before. They have 2" inlet and outlet fittings. Here
is their web site:

Will definitely add the UV to my bioolgical filter, don't have a veggie

If you keep fish, water hyacinths remove what a typical bio-filter
can't: nitrate... and for any pond they use up phosphates. This plant
is used all over the world to clean water up.
