Tadpole Filter Installation

with SMART UV Sterilizer

The Tadpole Filter is designed to be utilized as a pre-filter to your external pump and existing pond filtration system, but it can also be used as the "total pond filter" in small pond applications. The Tadpole Filter is completely submersible and easy to clean for re-use. For effective small pond filtration it's hard to beat a Tadpole Filter and SMART UV Sterilizer System! The SMART UV Sterilizer must be positioned after the Tadpole Filter where it can receive solids-free pond water. This will provide maximum UV treatment, resulting in the optimum control of waterborne pathogens, viruses, algae, bacteria
and protozoa.

The diagram below shows the correct Tadpole Filter and SMART UV Sterilizer operating locations. For additional circulation inside the pond, increase the pumps size by 50% and create a water circulation By-Pass using a "Tee" and "Ball Valve" manifold. Use the additional flow capacity from the by-pass to increase circulation in the pond to help suspend solid waste. Be sure not to exceed the SMART UV Sterilizer's water flow rate.

What is UV Sterilization?

Ultraviolet light is a spectrum of light just below the range of visible to the human eye. UV Light is divided into four distinct spectral areas with UV-C being (250-280 nm) the most lethal range to living microorganisms. UV-C light is capable of altering the DNA of living organisms and rendering them unable to reproduce.

4 Steps to UV Sterilizer Success

UV Sterilization successfully begins with

  1. Identifying the "Target Microorganism"
  2. Identifying the Target Microorganism's Required UV Dose
  3. Receiving Accurate Flow Rate Information
  4. Selecting the Correct UV Sterilizer Model that Delivers the Required UV Dose at Your Application's Flow Rate
