Bio-UV 40 professional UVC unit
The Bio UV Professional is probably the worlds best UV system made from 316L Stainless Steel. With a 6″ Body and 2-3″ returns for today’s high flow system. The Bio UV Professional incorporates a single lamp for ponds up to 30,000 gallons, with a long life lamp of 9000 hours. All units are IPS4 rating. Kills 99.9% of algae spores, bacteria and viruses.
How the Bio-UV 40 professional UVC unit works
It has been long known that ultraviolet lamps at a wavelength of 254 nanometers, or 2537 Angstrom, have high bactericidal, virucidal and algicidal properties. Type C ultraviolet eradicates germs by aggressively disrupting the cell metabolisms leading to their destruction. These lamps should not be mistaken for ozone producing lamps, which operate at different wavelengths. Ultraviolet radiation is measured in micro watts/second/cm2.
The key elements for efficient disinfecting are based, on one hand on the exposure time (i.e the ratio between the size of the pond and the flow rate through the filter) , and on the other hand, on the energy emitted in micro watts/second/cm2 at the furthest point from the lamp. Performance is measured in milijoules (mj) by combining the energy emitted by the lamp and the exposure time. The Bio UV range UV-C lamps work at levels above the minimum required to destroy the principle micro-organisms, which may be found in Koi ponds. In addition thanks to the reflection produced by the stainless steel (316L) within the chamber, efficiency is increased by 20 to 30 %. Micro-organisms must, in theory be exposed for a minimum of 1 second. However, BIO-UV equipment specifications, depending on the flow rates, double the exposure time to 2 seconds, for optimal disinfecting. In order not to hinder the action of the UV-C it is important to have a high filtration quality so that large particles do not screen the radiation.
Warranties
The Bio UV Professional offers a five-year warranty on the stainless steel chamber and a full year one-year warranty on all other components (including UV lamp). If installed according to manual.
Finally
The The Bio UV Professional system gives you the comfort of knowing that your water quality is superior to that of any other type of system, ease of installation, virtually no maintenance and optimum reliability.

Well priced UV, however the most important thing was that when it arrived with a component missing, not the fault of CK, the guys at cotswold koi sorted it with the supplier so easily with no fuss and the part was here as fast as possible. I’ll certainly be back no doubt with customer service like theirs.
