If the technology does as claimed, and has the "big UV light" as a part of the design, may I assume the working principle is to generate just the right amount of ozone in the unit to both provide more oxygen to the water, and kill undesirable algae, while not building up enough ozone concentration to be harmful to the fish? If a unit has been designed that does all that, then it might meet all the claims posted in this thread.

By the way, some forms of algae are DESIRABLE in a koi pond, so if the technology kills all forms of algae, it would not be a good thing for the koi in a backyard decorative pond.

I have a similar background to the person who started this thread, namely 40 years of Research and Development experience, a Ph. D in science (call it chemistry or engineering or rocket science, all those apply in this case), numerous patents on useful inventions in the chemical industry, and some grasp of koi ponding technology as a dedicated koi hobbyist. So if you want a useful "independent" test site, write me a private email proposal.
