ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT

12. Why would I want an ultraviolet light?
An ultraviolet light (UV) is used to kill the free-floating alga that passes through it. It will not have any effect on string algae that is anchored on the rocks and pond sides.

13. How are UV lights rated?
It is important to size the light properly. The degree of effectiveness is based on size, strength and length of exposure. There are feuds going on in the UV world because some report the strength of a new bulb versus others that rate their bulbs after they have already lost some of their strength. Don’t undersize the UV light. It is wasting money.
