TMC Pro Pond and Pro Pond Titan UV
15W to 110W UV clarifiers, including photocatalytic Titan models for demanding ponds
TMC Pro Pond is a long-established UV family with four useful sizes: 15W, 25W, 55W and 110W. This category also contains the matching Pro Pond Titan range, which adds a photocatalytic lining rather than simply changing the badge or lamp.
TMC states that the Titan process uses UV-C with a photocatalytic surface to generate highly reactive, short-lived hydroxyl radicals inside the chamber, improving the breakdown of organic material. It is still selected from the real pond duty and permitted flow, not from wattage alone.
The standard and Titan models share familiar sizes, so read the full product name when comparing. A replacement lamp, quartz sleeve or seal must match the exact generation and wattage.
Standard Pro Pond or Pro Pond Titan?
Standard models are Pro Pond UV15, UV25, UV55 and UV110. Titan versions are Titan UV15, Titan UV25, Titan UV55 and Titan UV110.
Choose Titan where its photocatalytic treatment benefit and system specification justify it. A standard Pro Pond remains a capable green-water clarifier when correctly sized and maintained.
Work from the Actual Flow
Large filters sometimes need more total turnover than one UV chamber should receive. Design the line or bypass to keep the TMC unit within its specified flow while preserving overall circulation.
Use unions and isolation valves, support the body and keep lamp-removal space clear.
Maintenance Makes the Difference
Replace the correct TMC lamp at the stated interval and clean the sleeve without scratching it. Inspect seals every time the chamber is opened. A small leak beside a ballast or connector is not acceptable.
Our advice: if replacing an older TMC unit, send a photograph of the full label. Pro Pond generations and spares can look deceptively similar.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are available?
15W, 25W, 55W and 110W in both standard Pro Pond and Titan families.
What makes Titan different?
It adds a photocatalytic surface to the UV-C treatment chamber.
Is Titan simply a stronger lamp?
No. The distinguishing feature is the chamber treatment process; select from the manufacturer specification.
Can I fit a standard Pro Pond bulb in Titan?
Do not assume compatibility. Match exact model, wattage, length and lamp code.
Which is the largest model?
UV110 in both the standard and Titan groups.
Can I split flow around the UV?
A correctly designed bypass can control UV flow while maintaining system turnover; it must be set and checked properly.
How do I identify an older TMC unit?
Use the complete label, body style, wattage and serial/product code, supported by photographs.
Will a UV clarifier remove blanket weed?
No. UV-C can help with single-celled algae carried through the unit, which is what causes green water. Attached algae and blanket weed need a different approach.
Does clearer water mean the pond filter is no longer needed?
No. UV treatment clumps suspended algae, but the mechanical filter still has to collect it and the biological filter still processes fish waste.
Can I choose a UV only by wattage?
Not reliably. Pond volume, flow rate, fish load, sunlight, chamber design and the manufacturer’s recommended dose all matter.
Why does the quartz sleeve need cleaning?
Limescale and biofilm reduce the UV reaching the water even when the lamp is working. A clean sleeve is essential to useful output.
Can I look at a lit UV-C lamp?
No. UV-C can injure eyes and skin. Isolate the electrical supply before opening the unit and follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions.
Should the UV run before or after the biological filter?
Follow the system and manufacturer layout. The important points are the permitted flow, correct orientation, full water coverage and safe access for servicing.
Can you check which model suits my pond?
Yes. Tell us the pond volume, fish stock, pump flow, pipe size, filter model and whether the pond is in full sun.
When should I replace the lamp?
Use the interval stated for the exact lamp and unit. UV-C output falls with age even when the lamp still produces visible light.
