Vorton 9 (previously called Vorton UVC 4500) is a revolution in the efficient elimination of green water algae.

• The algae, causing greenwater, are made to clump together (flocculate) by the UV light so that they can be seived out of the water by a filter.
• Water is slowed down as it passes the lamp to increase UV penetration.
• Quartz glass tube covering the UV lamp permits effective penetration of UV rays. Ordinary glass cuts this by 90% UV lamp runs at optimum operating temperature in an enclosed chamber.
• Water is kept as close as possible to the UV lamp to maximise the UV efficiency.
• Single ended lamps last longer and have higher UV output.
• The introduction of the Vorton range has revolutionised UVCs with a list of features making them superior in performance, simple to install and extremely easy to clean and maintain.

The ultra violet clarifier (UVC) continues to form a key element of a Clearwater system. The algae, causing greenwater, are made to clump together (flocculate) by the UV light so that they can be sieved out of the water by the filter.
