Can I put the whole setup in the top off tank (with nutes) for a UC system? I have a 105 gallon top off tank and want to sterilize it in there if possible.The way that UV works best it to give it sufficient time to sit inside the reaction chamber to be bombarded with UV. So what you will want to do is get an airstone an air pump and a small 40 gph submersible pump and attach it to the Pondmaster and then place those all into your water tank making sure that the exit end of the UV is pointing upward to create a flooming effect. After you fill it up, turn them on and give it 24 hours for city chlorine and other shit in your water to evaporate. Then Ph your water and add bleach. Added points if you have a chiller on a cool coil manifold loop to throw a leg into your water tank to cool it down to 65 or so. I know you are looking for a one shot remedy, and for that you will need to spend into the thousands. For the rest of us mere mortals, just be a little patient and let your water have some dwell time. Your plants will never be able to thank you enough because you have done everything possible to give them the best quality water they could ever get and you will have a run with ZERO problems with your water or water related issues.
No you cannot. The UV light will have a reaction with the nutes. With a UV sterilizer, you can pretreat your water only. With it being the actual medium, it is one thing you don't want to skimp on. Sort of like good organic soil mixtures for soil growers.Can I put the whole setup in the top off tank (with nutes) for a UC system?

Sources please? We try and leave out the hearsay and bro-science at the front door. The iron and other elements removed from the water actually happens at the RO stage. Without the removal it will oxidize from UV exposure and create very bad things to happen. UV filters are best used after adequate sediment, turbidity, iron, and manganese filtration.There are reports of iron being depleted by UV treatment.
Any time. Best of luck.Thanks DapperDon.
