Product Information
Full details
The Yamitsu Algae Master 11 Watt UV Clarifier is designed for pond enthusiasts who need a reliable solution for eliminating green water in koi and fish ponds. It offers high efficiency through integrated turbulators and precision-tuned components, making it an excellent choice for maintaining crystal-clear water. However, users should note that as an ultraviolet clarifier, it specifically targets floating algae and will not remove accumulated sludge or organic debris from the pond floor.

FAQs
How often should I change the UV lamp?
The UV lamp should be replaced every 12 months, ideally at the start of each spring season, to ensure maximum intensity.
Can I install this unit underwater?
No, the Yamitsu Algae Master is an external unit and must be mounted outside the pond water.
Does this unit kill parasites?
While UV light helps reduce the concentration of free-swimming pathogens, it is primarily designed as an algae clarifier.
What happens if the power goes out?
The unit will stop working immediately. Once power is restored, it will resume operation, but ensure the quartz sleeve is checked if the power loss resulted from a surge.
Is it safe for my fish?
Yes, the UV radiation is contained entirely within the unit's housing and does not affect the fish or plants in the pond.
Troubleshooting
Water remains green after two weeks
Check that the UV lamp is actually illuminated and ensure the quartz sleeve is free of lime scale or debris buildup.
Water leaking from the hose connections
Check that the hose clips are tightened correctly and verify that the O-ring seals inside the unit are seated properly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-efficiency internal turbulators maximize light contact time
- Constructed with durable, UV-stabilized materials
- Flexible plumbing options for both hose and solid pipe setups
- Generous 10-meter power cable included
- Made in Great Britain with high manufacturing standards
Cons
- Does not remove physical waste or sludge from the pond bottom
- Bulb requires periodic replacement to maintain effective UV output
- Must be used in conjunction with a separate biological filter system
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, mount the unit securely above the water level to ensure safety and ease of access. When connecting, choose the appropriate hosetail adapter based on your existing pipework; for rigid setups, use the 40mm solvent weld or 1.5-inch socket compatibility. Maintenance is critical for UV effectiveness: clean the internal quartz sleeve annually or whenever you notice a drop in water clarity. During winter, if the pond is prone to freezing, disconnect the unit, drain all water from the housing, and store it in a frost-free area to prevent the casing from cracking.
