Dr. Novak,
I am using your anoxic
filtration system an in my pond and I'm having problems with the water being
cloudy. I 'm running an 80 watt UV sterilizer to help minimize
algae, have water hyacinth in the filter pond and a filter pad in the
skimmer.
I found an article for building
your own protein extractor and was thinking of giving it a try.
But then I also came across an Ion clarifier in a catalog. The ad
claims that this device will clear up water by placing this metal probe
within the plumbing which will release the right amount of copper,
silver, and zinc ions. Which would you recommend? Do you think the
ion clarifier would work or is it just marketing hype? It's not cheap
($300). I would appreciate your advice.
Thank you,
Bob Mucerino
Hi Bob,
If I remember correctly your UV lights
are incorrectly set up. Here’s the correct way to setup the UV lights for your
pond. Do not pump more than 2000-gal through them, less would be better. Save
your money and first try this remedy. The cloudiness should subside in about a
week or two.
Note: My recommendation for setting up
his UV light correctly did help Bob’s problems so he didn’t have to spend more money
on an ion clarifier.
