It offers enhanced plumbing flexibility with 63mm connections and stepped hosetails (50/40/38/32 mm), making it compatible with a wide range of setups. The TL range is ideal for users looking for a more adaptable and powerful UV solution.

Yes. Each model comes with multi-step hose tails (32/38/40/50 mm), allowing you to easily connect flexible pond hose. These adaptors provide a secure fit for a wide range of plumbing options.
6. How should I install the Power UV TL unit?
Installation is simple:
-
Mount the unit horizontally in-line with your pipework

Choose either rigid pipe or use the included stepped hose tails
-
Ensure correct flow direction through the UV chamber

Connect to your filtration system and power supply
We recommend installing it after your mechanical filter for optimal clarity.
7. How often should I replace the UV lamp?
The UV-C lamp should be replaced every 8,000 to 10,000 operating hours (around once a year) to maintain full sterilisation performance. Even if it still lights up, its effectiveness diminishes over time.
8. Is the AquaForte Power UV TL energy-efficient?
Yes. The UV lamps used in the Power UV TL series are designed to provide effective sterilisation while consuming minimal energy. They are efficient and reliable, making them a smart choice for ongoing pond clarity.
9. Can it be used in koi ponds and wildlife ponds?
Absolutely. It is ideal for koi ponds, garden ponds, and ornamental ponds. Just ensure the model size is appropriate for your pond volume and fish load.
10. Does the Power UV TL require a separate ballast or control box?
No. The UV ballast and wiring are built into the unit’s design, making it self-contained. Just connect to mains power using the included cable and plug.
