Tadpole with SMART UV Installation
The Tadpole is designed to be utilized as a pre-filter to your pump and
existing system, but it can also be used as the "total pond filter" in small applications. The Tadpole Pre-Filter is completely
submersible and easily cleaned for re-use. For effective small pond filtration, it's hard to beat a Tadpole Filter and
SMART UV System! The SMART UV must be positioned after the Tadpole where it receives solids-free water. This will provide
maximum UV treatment, resulting in the optimal control of waterborne algae and harmful bacteria.
The diagram shows the correct Tadpole Filter and SMART UV operating locations. For additional circulation inside the pond,
increase the pump size by 50% and create a By-Pass
using a "Tee" and "Ball Valve" manifold. Use the additional flow capacity from the by-pass to increase circulation. Be sure
not to exceed the SMART UV's flow rate. |
