IMPORTANT
Use of Pressurized Pond Filters Equipped with UV Sterilizers
Although we do sell the Clear Stream 1200 UV/ Filter & Via Aqua Pond UV Filter, we do this as these are the only purchase options for these products. We have found that Filters with self contained UVs DO NOT work as well as a separate UV unit (from many years experience maintaining ponds as well based on established UV Sterilization data).
Unfortunately the Via Aqua Heavy Duty Premium Pressurized Pond Filter is only available with a UV Sterilizer as is the Clear Stream 1200, although the Clear Stream 1200 is much closer to reasonable Green Water control UV specs than others and is margnially effective for green water control without a separate UV Sterilizer added inline.
We feel these are too good of filters to not sell despite this generally ineffective feature, however we strongly suggest the purchase of a TMC 15 Watt Pond Advantage UV Sterilizer Clarifier or TMC 25 Watt Pond Advantage UV Sterilizer Clarifier as a compliment.
An important reason for why we recommend a separate UV Sterilizer/Clarifier is water flow rate and contact time. With a separate unit you can control the flow rate thru your UV much better than a self contained filter/UV, effecting a much better contact time and germicidal kill rate. The UV Sterilizers that come built into many pond filters including the otherwise excellent Clear Stream Pond Filter are often ineffective. This is true for ALL Pressurized Pond Filters (in fact many such as the Tetra are even less effective).
The problem is that most come with UVs ranging from 5 to 18 watts, the 9 watt is being the most common, so when you install this filter to a pump that moves 2000 gph through a 9 watt UV you are effecting a 222 gph per watt rating which is generally useless (you need a flow rate UNDER 45-60 gph per watt for these filters!!).
Please read this in depth article about the use of UV Sterilization in Ponds & Aquariums for a further explanation:
UV Sterilization
Pressurized Pond Filtration,
The Benefits:
Units can be conveniently positioned below the level of water delivery
Can be partially buried in the ground for minimal visual impact
Easy to clean, The Clear Stream is not available with a back wash feature while the Via Aqua Pressurized Pond Filter is (a regular backwash does not take the place of occasionally thorough cleanings based on our experience in pond maintenance)
Large diameter inlet and outlet ports. Suitable for use with low pressure/low voltage pumps

Prevents tubing "kinks" for use in the tubing line from the power head/water pump to the Clear Stream Filter (for aquarium applications)
The Rio 1100 or ReSun King 2A are our suggested/preferred pumps for aquarium or very light duty pond applications using the Clear Stream 600, while the Rio 1700 or Via Aqua 2600 are my suggested/preferred pumps for pond applications using the Clear Stream 1200.
Larger pumps can be used especially when powering multiple devices or for higher lift (head pressure); The Via Aqua 3300 or any of the pumps in the Rio HF (High Flow) Pump Line are excellent fo such applications. Often higher flow pumps may need the return line split with a flow diverter to provide the correct flow rate through your filter (we sell flow diverter on our Terminator UV page).
