UVs are sized according to the gallons in your pond. To operate most effectively, run the total volume of pond water past the UVinex every two hours:
18 Watt UV for Compact Skimmerfilters: Up to 2,500 gallons use the 18 Watt UVinex.
26 and 50 Watt UVinex For Full-Size Skimmerfilters: Up to 3,000 gallons use one or two 26 Watt UVinex. . Up to 5,000 gallons and more use one or two 50 Watt UVinex.
Summer usually means increased pond water loss due to evaporation, which of course leads to topping off our ponds more. You should always add dechlorinator when topping off the water level of a pond. Any amount of chlorine (such as that found in treated water) can be harmful to your fish. Even if it is not enough chlorine to mean immediate death of the fish, this chlorine can still cause harm to proper gill function.
