How It Works
The UVinex System uses ultraviolet light to neutralize free-floating algae cells and harmful microorganisms as water passes through the unit. The UV light disrupts their DNA, preventing reproduction and causing them to clump together for easier removal by your mechanical filter. This process results in crystal-clear water without the use of harsh chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which wattage do I need for my pond?
A: The 18 Watt model is designed for the Savio Compact Skimmer, while the 26 Watt model is for the Savio Standard Skimmer. You can use one or two 26 Watt units with the Standard Skimmer depending on your pond size and water clarity needs.
Q: Will this eliminate green water?
A: Yes! The UVinex System is highly effective at eliminating green water caused by suspended algae. As water passes through the UV light, algae cells are neutralized and clump together for removal by your filter.
Q: How is this different from traditional UV clarifiers?
A: The UVinex features a durable coated bulb that eliminates the fragile quartz sleeve found in traditional UV clarifiers. This makes it more durable and easier to maintain - simply wipe clean to restore effectiveness.
Q: Is installation difficult?
A: Not at all! The UVinex is a true "Plug N Play" system that requires no special plumbing knowledge. It's designed to integrate seamlessly with Savio skimmer systems.
Q: How often does the bulb need to be replaced?
A: UV bulbs should be replaced annually for optimal performance. Even if the bulb still lights up, UV output diminishes over time, reducing effectiveness. Replacement bulbs are available separately.
Q: How do I maintain the UVinex System?
A: Maintenance is simple - just wipe the coated bulb clean periodically to remove any buildup and restore full effectiveness. No complicated disassembly or cleaning procedures required.
Q: Will this harm fish or plants?
