Filtreau UV-C Pro HDPE 210W

Filtreau UV-C Pro HDPE 210W

Twin-lamp UV-C treatment with a chemical-resistant HDPE housing

The Filtreau UV-C Pro HDPE 210W uses two 105W lamps inside an enclosed high-density polyethylene body. It is the UVP0008 model, positioned between the 105W and 315W versions, with manufacturer pond-volume guidance of up to 200,000 litres. The housing is chemical-resistant and seawater-resistant, with 75mm inlet and outlet connections, making this a specialist option for larger ponds and aquaculture installations.

This is a specialist range, so selection should consider more than the wattage printed on the unit. Pond volume, water quality, the flow through the UV chamber and the required treatment objective all matter. The manufacturer’s maximum pond-volume figures are useful starting points, but they are separate from its dose-rated flow specification. Check both before deciding which model belongs in your filtration system.

Where the 210W sits in the HDPE Pro range

Model	Manufacturer reference	Maximum pond-volume guidance
105W	UVP0007	100m³ / 100,000 litres
210W	UVP0008	200m³ / 200,000 litres
315W	UVP0009	300m³ / 300,000 litres

Filtreau’s 2026 catalogue lists all three models as suitable for ponds and swimming pools. For a koi pond, assess the UV unit as part of the complete filtration arrangement. A generous nominal pond-volume rating does not compensate for an unsuitable flow path, heavily contaminated water or an undersized mechanical filter. For aquaculture, swimming pools or another specialist installation, establish the required water-treatment specification with the system designer.

Dimensions, connections and operating limits

Specification	Manufacturer-listed value for all three models
Length × width	950 × 280mm
Housing diameter	200mm
Inlet and outlet diameter	75mm
Maximum pressure	3.0 bar
Electrical supply	230V AC, 50/60Hz
Flow at a stated dose of 30mJ/cm²	22m³/h / 22,000 litres per hour
Listed lamp lifespan	13,000 hours

The stated dimensions describe the unit itself. Leave additional room for pipework, isolation arrangements and access when servicing the lamp and quartz components. A unit that fits between two walls may still be awkward to maintain if fittings or adjacent equipment obstruct removal. Plan the service space before fixing the plumbing in position.

The 75mm connection size should also be checked against your existing pipework. Nominal pipe sizes from different systems are not automatically interchangeable. Confirm the actual connection arrangement and suitable fittings before installation, and assess the pressure of the complete circuit against the unit’s 3.0-bar limit. The limit is a maximum operating specification, not a suggested target pressure.

Understanding the dose-rated flow figure

The 210W has twice the lamp power of the 105W, but Filtreau lists the same 22m³/h flow at 30mJ/cm² for both. Use that dose-rated figure when designing the circuit. The 200,000-litre pond-volume guidance is a separate selection figure; it does not mean that the chamber should receive 200,000 litres per hour. Choose the unit against the required treatment conditions as well as the size of the pond.

In practical terms, this means the pump and plumbing need to be considered together with the UV chamber. A pump’s advertised maximum delivery is not necessarily the flow reaching this part of an installed system. Pipe runs, fittings, elevation and other equipment affect the result. Establish the working flow through the chamber and use the manufacturer’s instructions when configuring the system.

How this UV stage works with pond filtration

The range uses industrial UV-C lamps operating at a stated wavelength of 253.7nm. UV-C treatment acts on water as it passes the lamp within the housing. It does not physically collect waste from the pond, and it should not be treated as a replacement for mechanical or biological filtration. Your pond filter still needs to remove suspended material and support the biological processes required by the fish population.

Continue checking water quality even when the pond looks clear. The Colombo Pond Test Lab Professional helps you monitor pond water alongside your filtration system. Ammonia, nitrite and other water parameters require separate monitoring, alongside routine maintenance of the filtration system.

Servicing and identifying replacement parts

The manufacturer lists a 13,000-hour lamp lifespan. Keep a record of operating hours and follow its maintenance instructions; visible illumination alone is not a reliable measure of treatment performance. Quartz condition also matters because deposits can interfere with light transmission. Arrange access so routine inspection and cleaning can be completed without dismantling unrelated equipment.

The 210W uses two replacement lamps with Filtreau reference RLM0105. Its listed quartz reference is QSI0002. Allow for both lamps when planning a complete lamp replacement, and retain the UVP0008 model reference with your maintenance records and match replacement parts to this unit. Browse our UV lights when comparing complete units, or contact us for help identifying service parts.

Before purchase, confirm the selected output, actual circuit flow, pipe connection requirements and available servicing space. The HDPE construction makes this range relevant to more demanding water applications, but compatibility with a particular chemical or operating regime still needs to be established for that installation.
