The unit works by exposing the phototropic micro-organisms (free floating single cell algae) to a dose of U.V. radiation. The U.V. Steriliser effectively assists in destroying harmful pathogens and algae that may exist within your system especially during the warmer months of the year. A U.V. steriliser is used to control infections by stopping the spread of microorganisms from one fish\/coral\/invertebrate to another through the water. It is also utilised in pond applications, aquaponic and hydroponic systems in order to control free-floating algae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen operated correctly, \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003efree-floating\u003c\/strong\u003e microorganisms will be killed by the UV light.
