It is intended for external, inline installation — not for continuous submersion — and works by passing water through the chamber so algae, free-floating microbes and organic particles are exposed to UV light before returning to the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this unit reduce green water and algae blooms?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clarifier treats water as it flows through the stainless-steel chamber, using a focused 254nm UV wavelength to target free-floating algae and reduce visible green tint. It does not replace mechanical filtration but complements pumps and filters by targeting microorganisms that mechanical media can miss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e24W 254nm lamp for effective UV exposure of passing water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInline design forces water past the lamp for consistent treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBest results when paired with pre-filtration to remove large debris\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for systems from ~75 to ~1000 gallons depending on flow rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the installation requirements and compatible connections?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward: mount the unit outside the tank or pond, connect it to a circulating pump, and match the supplied interface sizes. The clarifier accepts common hose\/thread sizes and is designed to work with pumps, waterfall filters, pool plumbing, and submersible filter setups when used as an inline component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with 0.5in, 0.75in and 1in interfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequires an external pump to force water through the chamber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMust remain dry externally—do not submerge the housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounting hardware and plumbing clamps recommended for secure installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the lamp last and what maintenance is needed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lamp is rated for about 8,000 hours of use; periodic replacement restores peak UV output.

The coospider-repta 24W inline UV clarifier is aimed at hobbyists and small-scale professionals who want to add UV treatment to aquariums, koi ponds, cold plunge tubs, or small pools without redesigning existing filtration. It works well for those who already have circulation pumps and want a compact, corrosion-resistant UV solution to improve water clarity, manage green water, and reduce suspended algae—particularly when used alongside good mechanical filtration and routine maintenance. If you need continuous submerged sterilization or certified drinking-water disinfection, consult system requirements and local regulations before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I submerge the coospider-repta 24W inline UV unit?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. The housing is not designed for immersion; it must be installed inline and kept dry externally with an external pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How often should I replace the UV lamp?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Replace the lamp around every 8,000 hours or sooner if you notice reduced water clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"coospider-repta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56839476281684,"sku":"B0CPFMYY6V","price":143.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/2652\/4244\/files\/coospider-repta-front-view-stainless-steel-housing.jpg?v=1787067135","url":"https:\/\/gardenluxe.co.uk\/products\/coospider-repta-24w-inline-uv-clarifier-254nm-stainless-steel-for-aquariums-ponds-75-1000-gal","provider":"Gardenluxe Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
