How It Works

The UltraKlean 3500 relies on a sponge-free design to deliver efficient mechanical and biological filtration. Water passes through the included UltraKlean Bio Media, where beneficial bacteria can thrive, helping to break down organic waste. The 28W UV clarifier/sterilizer targets free-floating algae and microturbidity, contributing to a clearer aesthetic without harsh chemical additions.

Installation & Compatibility

Designed to integrate with standard pond plumbing, this unit is suitable for mid- to large-size water features. For optimal results, ensure compatible pump sizing and professional installation if needed, so plumbing connections and electrical requirements align with local codes.
