Is Aqua UV a good brand of clarifier?

I am looking at an Aqua UV clarifier because it has a 2" inlet and outlet. I
have a low pressure high volume pump running about 1800 GPH capable of 4300
with no head. I am working on reducing all restriction do to pipe size. This
is the only company I can find that offers an inlet and outlet of 1.5" or
bigger in a pipe fitting. The rest are all made for a hose fitting. If a
hose fitting is used I would want two units with a 1.5" fitting to fit my
two supply lines.

I dont run my UV off my pump at all. I have a small pump that move the water past
the UV at nice slow rate. Ingrid

I think they're the best.
I'm running an 80W (2-lamp) Aqua UV with 2" I/O.
All pond water goes thru it via a 4400 GPH (@ 10' head) Performance
Pro pump. No sharp elbows, no check valves or other lossy devices.
Has worked flawlessly for one year now.

I am keeping my system simple and efficient. I have one pump that is doing
good so far. I could connect the UV to one output side and it would only see
about 900 GPH I still want the larger diameter 2" piping to reduce flow
restrictions.
