Suitable for Ponds UP TO 2000 Gallons (9000 Litres) In Full Sunlight

As an extension to the current highly popular stainless steel UV range the newer “Eco Smartstart UV‘s” have been designed taking technology one further step, whilst making them affordable without the need to rob a bank. In using “Smartstart” lamps (with a life expectancy of 9000 hours) a great gain in light output efficiency is possible due to the lamps integral ballast which by default offers consistent performance throughout the year when compared to conventional lamps with remote ballasts.

Following on from the great success of their Standard Stainless Steel UV clarifiers, Cloverleaf have taken technology one further step towards perfection with the high-tec high-efficiency Eco Smartstart which through design and build quality offers numerous advantages to the fastidious pond keeper.

Key features include a unique starter ballast unit built into the Smartstart lamp (see photo below), which unlike conventional ballasts offers consistent light performance throughout the year when the replacement of the Smartstart lamp is equal to installing a new ballast. Additional quality features include a visually sleek design with the provision of double seal end caps which have been pressure tested to a high 10 bar. Together with a removable fused Quartz sleeve (not plastic) should hopefully indicate that only the best components have been used in the Smartstart’s construction.

In the past it was somewhat pointless debating the topic of conventional external ballast units degrading in performance over the years, because there was no solution to the problem - but now there is a solution via Cloverleaf’s Eco Smartstart.

The unique Smartstart germicidal lamp is rated for 9,000 hours of use (better than many competitors 5,000 hours), and with Cloverleaf’s spiral flow chamber optimum performance is achieved

Off the shelf Smartstart UV’s range from 24 watt to 144 watt, and combine innovative design with long lasting construction and great value for money, all of which Cloverleaf believe will put the "Eco Smartstart" firmly ahead of its international market competitors

Eco Smartstart is the future - but available now

The Benefits Of UV Clarifiers:

Single cell algae’s forming green water are not just unpleasant to look at, but at the same time contribute to lowering the “kh” value which is so important to fish health, and to the nitrification process within the filter system. Algae’s also contribute towards lowering oxygen levels, whilst meanwhile increasing “ph” levels – both of which are not desirable. The use of Ultra Violet is the safest of international techniques for obtaining clear water, and unlike many chemicals detrimental effects or pollution is impossible. In addition general plant and pond life are unaffected with a UV.

The actions of ultra violet light onto single cell algae’s does not actually kill them, but converts the algae’s DNA structure to the point where they flocculate together, and thus form larger particles which will not so easily pass through the mechanical filter mediums. The amount of sunlight which the pond receives is the biggest of factors in the promotion of algae's, and for such reasons the selected size of a UV unit should take such environmental aspects into account
