0:31
from pond water as water passes through
0:34
the clarifier it is exposed to intense
0:36
UV radiation this radiation damages the

debris or dissolve organic compounds
1:35
from the water for this reason you

volume should pass through the clarifier
2:01
every 1 to 3 hours the installation of a

straightforward it should be placed
2:08
after your mechanical and biological
2:10
filters in the water circulation system
