Bitron C 55 W
The OASE Bitron C 55 W is a powerful 55‑watt UV‑C clarifier designed to control green water in large pump‑fed garden ponds.
Installed inline before your filter, it treats suspended algae with ultraviolet light, helping your filtration system remove it more effectively and maintain clear water.

Product Description
Large ponds with higher flow rates need stronger UV output to keep algae under control. The OASE Bitron C 55 W delivers high-performance UV‑C clarification for bigger ornamental ponds and lightly stocked koi setups.
It works alongside your mechanical and biological filter to improve water clarity during peak algae season.
How It Works
As pond water passes through the Bitron C housing, it flows around a 55‑watt UV‑C lamp enclosed within a protective quartz sleeve.
The ultraviolet light:
- Disrupts single‑cell algae
- Causes algae to clump together
- Allows your filter to capture and remove the debris
UV‑C controls suspended algae but does not remove waste on its own. A correctly sized filter is still essential.
Installation Layout
Designed for pump‑fed systems.
Typical setup:
Pump → Bitron C 55 W → Filter → Return to pond
Installing the UV before the filter ensures treated algae are removed efficiently.
Correct sizing depends on pond volume and pump flow rate.
Maintenance & Safety
UV‑C output reduces over time, even if the lamp still illuminates.
- Replace the UV‑C lamp annually
- Clean the quartz sleeve regularly to prevent limescale build‑up
- Always unplug before opening the unit
- Never look directly at an operating UV‑C lamp
- Avoid skin exposure to UV light
Routine maintenance keeps clarification reliable throughout the season.
