pond water through the housing for sterilisation. The unit is suitable for a maximum volume flow rate of 30m /h. Opti-
mum sterilisation can be achieved at a flow rate of ≤ 12.5 m

/h.
According to the standard recommendations this is sufficient for:
• Ponds without fish stock up to max. 100 m

An electronic ballast ensures energy efficient operation of the unit. If you wish to increase the size of the pond or the
fish stock, additional units of the type Bitron Gravity 55 W can be retrofitted at any time.
The unit is either operated by itself or in any desired gravity-fed filter system. Due to its design, it is particularly suitable
for supplementing an existing OASE ProfiClear filter system.
