Running the JEBAO CW-36 UV Filter on a Singapore Tank

An external UV unit like the CW-36 earns its keep here because our warm 27-29C water lets free-floating algae and waterborne bacteria multiply fast, especially on tanks near bright HDB windows or balconies. Plumbed inline after your canister, the 26W lamp clears suspended green-water haze and knocks back the microbes that cause cloudy blooms, without you having to tear down the display. It treats water as it passes, so flow rate through the chamber matters more than tank volume.

Match your pump so contact time stays adequate; pushing too much water through reduces the dose each pass receives. We tell customers to run it continuously during a bloom, then a few hours daily once clear. UV bulbs lose output well before they stop glowing, so a sensible lamp swap every 8-12 months keeps it effective. Keep the quartz sleeve wiped clean, since our hard-ish tap mineral film cuts transmission over time.
