FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How often should I change the UV bulb?
For optimum sterilisation results change the bulb every six months.
Will it make my fish completely disease free?
No. The evoUV can only ever be effective on the water borne life stage of some
disease pathogens. It is not effective on any disease which is already on the fish’s
body and does not have a mobile, water borne life stage. evoUV can be effective at
lowering numbers of water borne pathogens and helping to prevent the spread of
pathogens from tank to tank on centralised fish systems, if set up correctly.
It can only ever be effective on pathogens which pass inside the unit, and are
directly exposed to the harmful UV rays emitted by the UV bulb. If this is the case,
it can be a very effective at lowering pathogen numbers in the water and helping to
spread water borne pathogens from tank to tank.
Do I need to turn it off if combining with medications?
Yes, this is because the Ultra Violet light may degrade the medication being
administered to the water. Read the instructions provided with the medication and
take the manufacturer’s advice.
