Hi
I have a small 1000 litre garden pond in which the half dozen fish have been successful surviving in a green pea soup for some time. Now I've decided to replace the old defunct filter and following a good clean out, now have a Green Genie 3000 up and running. I have a question re the UV lamp, which is enclosed in a housing in the lid. I read that you can check the lamp is working - obviously you shouldn't look at it - by holding a piece of white paper up to the water inlet hole ! Well, as far as I can tell, it makes no difference if the lamp is swtched on or off. Should this test be down in the dark or at least dusk. I'd really hate the water to go green again.
Cheers
