Oase Bitron C 55 Watt UVC

Oase Bitron C 55 Watt UVC

High Output Self Cleaning UV Clarifier for Large Pond Systems

The Oase Bitron C 55 Watt UVC is a high performance ultraviolet clarifier designed to eliminate green water and reduce harmful bacteria in ponds up to 60000 litres. It targets suspended algae directly and, as a result, restores clear and healthy pond water even in larger systems.

Unlike basic UV clarifiers, the Bitron C 55W includes a patented automatic cleaning rotor. As water flows through the unit, the rotor continuously moves around the quartz sleeve. Consequently, it prevents debris and limescale from settling, which ensures consistent UV output and maximum irradiation efficiency.

The integrated bypass system combines high flow capacity with optimal exposure time. Because of this intelligent design, up to 6500 litres per hour can pass the UVC tube without bypassing the radiation chamber. In addition, you can regulate the flow precisely using the built in throttle handle, allowing accurate adjustment to suit your pump and filtration setup.

A clear inspection window allows you to check lamp operation instantly. Furthermore, the intelligent UVC function monitor provides a visual indication of bulb performance and alerts you when replacement is required. Integrated magnets help reduce limescale deposits, which protects the quartz sleeve and extends long term performance.

Safety remains a priority. The quick release closure system allows easy access for maintenance, while an integrated safety switch automatically deactivates the UV lamp when opened. Therefore, it prevents accidental exposure and meets strict VDE safety standards.

The Bitron C 55 Watt works particularly well with Oase BioSmart 36000 and BioTec ScreenMatic 12 to 18 filters. When paired with compatible Oase flow through filters such as BioSmart, BioTec and ProfiClear, it qualifies for the Oase Clear Water Guarantee.

Technical information

UV sizing and maintenance notes

Oase Bitron C 55 Watt UVC should be matched to the pond volume, flow rate and water clarity problem you are trying to solve. UV clarification works best when water passes the lamp at a suitable speed and the quartz sleeve is kept clean. If the flow is too fast, contact time can be reduced. If the lamp is old or the quartz sleeve is dirty, performance can drop even when the unit still appears to be switched on.

• Replace UV lamps as part of routine seasonal maintenance.
• Clean or inspect the quartz sleeve when water clarity starts to deteriorate.
• Match the UV to the pump and filter rather than installing it in isolation.
• Allow safe access for lamp changes and winter maintenance.

Good UV performance also depends on mechanical filtration. Removing fine debris before the UV helps the lamp work on green water algae more effectively.
