It attacks algae blooms at the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt runs water past a high-output UV lamp that scrambles algae cells before they can multiply. Pond owners call it the \"silver bullet\" for water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResults typically appear within days. Unlike chemical flocculants, it works continuously. There is no dosing and no risk to your water chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"how-it-works\"\u003eHow the Matala Stainless Steel UV Clarifier Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-celled algae reproduce quickly in warm sunlight and excess nutrients. This unit does not remove algae directly; it uses ultraviolet light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis light damages the DNA of the algae, stopping reproduction. Once neutralized, your filter and skimmer catch the dead cells for easy removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polished stainless steel body reflects UV light back through the water. This design provides roughly 30% more exposure than plastic housings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"features\"\u003eKey Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis inline unit plumbs directly into your pump line. It offers several advantages over a standard jebao stainless steel uv sterilizer unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"chamber\"\u003ePolished Stainless Steel Reactor Chamber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mirror-finished interior bounces UV light back toward the water. This boosts the kill rate without needing any additional lamp wattage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"lamp\"\u003eHigh-Output Lamp and Quartz Sleeve\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lamp is matched to hold a steady 254nm output. This specific wavelength is most effective against algae and harmful pond water pathogens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSingle Big-Bore Body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wide-diameter chamber ensures water passes through with almost no resistance. Your pump does not have to work harder to move your water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"led\"\u003eVisual LED Service Indicator\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn LED tells you when the lamp output drops. This removes the guesswork found with a jebao stainless steel uv sterilizer or other basic models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery unit includes a 17-foot power cord and inline transformer. Upkeep is simple, requiring only an annual lamp swap and a quartz sleeve check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"wattage\"\u003eChoose the Right Wattage for Your Pond\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicking the correct size is vital for fast results. Undersizing the unit for your pond volume is the most common reason for poor performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-table-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Pond Size (Gal.)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInlet\/Outlet\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Flow (GPH)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCord Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSS-L40WU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" MPT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3,500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSS-L75WU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11,500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" MPT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5,700\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSS-L150WU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" MPT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6,500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSS-L300WU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\" MPT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 40W and 75W models use one lamp.
