DeBary Aqua UV 11Watt

Advantages: sturdy,reliable,easy to get new bulbs.
Disadvantages: none.

...I had a lovely pond of 3500 gallons, but the water in it was the colour of pea soup (mucky green), not very nice and not compatible with viewing my collection of fish. So I bought a Yamitsu 30watt UV sterilizer in the summer of 1997, which cost me £79, although slightly underpowered, (as it is recommended to have 10watts per 1000 gallons) it was the most I wanted (or could afford) to shell out, as I was doubtful if it would clear the troublesome green water. Installation was started the next morning, this entailed the cutting of one of the pipes from the pump, and fitting the uv unit in-line on this cut pipe, using the supplied stepped hosetails, I had to supply my own jubilee clips to complete this.

Advantages: Good, not expensive

Advantages: Excellent Cleaning power, smells fresh
Disadvantages: None

...Being a bargain hunter and value for money and all that I saw Bold Aqua Tablets on special offer in our local Kwik Save store the other day. New Bold Aqua 2 in 1 tablets - 28 tablets with 4 extra free for the value price £2.79p. When you take the washing out of the machine you can visualise yourself like the fella on the advert "smelling the fresh clothes - well his Y Fronts anyway - and the smell is very noticeable. Good value and excellent cleaning power. This tablet is not the one that you put in the net in with your washing but in the drawer and I have always thought that if the tablet was in your machine it would wash better ( I suppose due to the fact that the tablet is hands on!!) but I was pleasantly surprised to see that this was better. Give it a try and comment on the opinion.... Read review
