Jebao Pond UV Clarifier 36W — External UV-C Clarifier for Ponds up to 8,000 gal, 6,200 GPH

Jebao NPU Clarifier is an external ultraviolet water clarifier that reduces green water and helps keep ponds and water gardens clear up to 8,000 gallons. The Jebao NPU 36-watt clarifier uses a UV-C lamp housed in a compact, weather-resistant tube to treat circulating water outside the pond. It pairs broad fitting compatibility with a long-life 2G11 36W bulb and supports high flow rates, so it fits new builds and retrofits alike. Included adapters and a durable transformer make setup straightforward for most pump and plumbing arrangements.

How does the Jebao NPU remove green water and odors?

The unit exposes pond water to UV-C light as it passes through the chamber, which helps control free-floating algae and reduces buildup that causes murky color and smell. It’s designed for continuous external operation to treat large volumes of water efficiently.

• Treats ponds up to 8,000 gallons under typical conditions
• 36-watt 2G11 lamp provides high-intensity UV exposure
• Maximum flow rating of 6,200 GPH for powerful circulation
• Non-submersible design keeps electrical components dry and accessible

What plumbing and installation options work with this clarifier?

The Jebao NPU includes fittings for 3/4", 1", 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" connections so it fits common pump outlets and flexible tubing. You can mount it horizontally or vertically to suit the available space near your pump or filter skid.

• Four included adapters fit most pond pumps and tubing
• Compact footprint: 21 x 5.5 x 3 inches for easy placement
• Install vertically or horizontally depending on layout
• 22-foot cord and weather-resistant transformer for outdoor use

How often should the UV bulb be replaced and what maintenance is needed?

The supplied 2G11 36W lamp is rated for roughly 8,000 hours; replacing the bulb every 6–12 months keeps peak clarification performance. Routine checks of the quartz sleeve, seals, and fittings will maintain efficiency and help prevent leaks.

• Replace bulb at about 8,000 hours (≈11 months continuous use)
• Clean quartz sleeve if flow or clarity drops
• Inspect O-rings and connection points when servicing
• Keep transformer shaded and protected from direct sunlight

Will the Jebao NPU work with my existing pond setup?

Because it connects to a range of pipe sizes and supports high flow, the NPU suits many small-to-medium ponds and retrofit projects. Confirm your pump’s flow rate and the pond volume to match expected performance; over-sized ponds or very dense algae blooms may need additional treatment or parallel units.

• Compatible with most pump outlets using included adapters
• Best for ponds up to ~8,000 gallons under normal conditions
• High flow capability handles powerful pumps up to 6,200 GPH
• Non-submersible placement makes it easy to integrate into existing plumbing
