Ultraviolet Lights » Cloverleaf Smartstart

Following on from the great success of their Standard Stainless Steel UV clarifiers, Cloverleaf have taken technology one further step towards perfection in now launching the high-tec high performance Smartstart Stainless Steel UV, which through design and build quality offers numerous advantages to the fastidious pond keeper.

Key features include a unique starter ballast unit built into the Smartstart lamp (see photo), which unlike conventional ballasts offers consistent light performance throughout the year when the replacement of the Smartstart lamp is equal to installing a new ballast. Additional quality features include a visually sleek design with the provision of double seal end caps which have been pressure tested to a high 10 bar. This specification coupled with the use of a genuine heavy gauge 316L polished stainless steel body/radiation chamber, together with a removable fused Quartz sleeve (not plastic) should hopefully indicate that only the best components have been used in the Smartstart’s construction.

Spiral flow chamber now with double seal Endcaps and pressure tested to 10 Bar, with an incredable 2 year guarantee, with long life lamp of 9000 hours, less power for greater performance.

The Smartstart 24 Watt model makes use of a single germicidal Smartstart lamp. This unit is suitable for ponds up to 3000 gallons based on full sun exposure. With so many small garden ponds with capacities from 750 to 1500 gallons this unit will be totally ideal for many pond keepers, and at a price not much different than “some” plastic bodied UV’s on the market it will surely be reviewed as highly desirable.

The Smartstart 48 Watt model makes use of  2 No 24 watt  germicidal Smarstart lamps, with the 72 Watt model making use of 2 No 36 watt germicidal Smartstart lamps

The 48 watt model is suitable for ponds up to 5,500 gallons, with the 72 watt model being suitable for ponds up to a maximum of 7,500 gallons based on full sun exposure.

The 48 watt model is proving to be immensely popular due to the be easy upgrade at a later date to a 72 watt version, simply by changing the lamps for a larger size.

In the past it was somewhat pointless debating the topic of conventional external ballast units degrading in performance over the years, because there was no solution to the problem - but now there is a solution via Cloverleaf’s Smartstart.

The unique Smartstart germicidal lamp is rated for 9,000 hours of use (better than many competitors 5,000 hours), and with Cloverleaf’s spiral flow chamber optimum performance is achieved – with an improved efficiency of 35% above conventional plastic bodied UV’s.
 

Off the shelf Smartstart UV’s range from 24 watt to 144 watt, and combine innovative design with long lasting construction and great value for money, all of which Cloverleaf believe will put the "Smartstart" firmly ahead of its international market competitors.

 As special factory orders larger Smartstart units are available up to a massive 12 bar (12 lamp) 864 watt.
