Savio Skimmer UV

[Birdman]

Is anyone using the dual 57 watt UV's (114 watt total) in their savio skimmer?
Are you happy with them?
Do you think this would be enough for a 12,500 GAL pond?

Hi Steve,

I'm running two 57 Watt Emperor Aquatics UVs in my Savio skimmer and am happy with performance to date. The pond is only ~6,000 gallons however.

Thanks for your reply Roger. Do the keep the water clear?

[RogerL]

Yes. The water's clear to the bottom drains at five feet. This is a relatively new pond. It's not in full sun, but it gets plenty of sunlight during the day. water temps currently around seventy degrees.

I have been starting-up some new filtration and adding some Microbe Lift to assist, so I've been keeping the UV off for a while - still no visibility problems at this point.

Thanks Roger.
