Wet Pets was the first pond business in the United States to use Ultraviolet Light Sterilizers in ornamental fish ponds - in 1985!
From 1985 - Present Wet Pets has only recommended Lifegard® Ultraviolet Lights.
Lifegard® Ultraviolet Light Sterilizers:
- 99.3% kill rate, every single pass, at correct rated flow, of free-floating microscopic (pea-green soup) algae
- 99.3% kill rate, every single pass, at correct rated flow of pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria, virus and fungus
- Properly engineered water flow header system through multiple tower units, insuring correct flow rates through every ultraviolet light tower. Some ultraviolet light manufacturers' multiple tower units plumbing results in 2X to 6X rated flow through each ultraviolet light tower passing through unlit "dark" pipe between each tower.
- Proper water flow past the entire length of the ultraviolet light bulbs. Some ultraviolet light manufacturers' units do not have the water passing by the entire length of the bulb.
- Available "Raintight" PVC boxes for ultraviolet ballast/starters
- Standard vertical units and available kits for horizontal installation
- Ultraviolet Lights do not kill the "good" nitrifying bacteria that detoxify ammonia and nitrites. Nitrifying bacteria are sessile (attach to hard surfaces) and as such do not pass through an ultraviolet light unit.
- Proven track record - Lifegard® Aquatics first produced ultraviolet sterilizer units in 1974!
- Ultraviolet Light Sterilizer units are available for rated flow of 760 to 9000 gallons per hour
