Hey All,
I just bought and installed a Sun Sun 55W UV. First UV i have ever installed. Its a cheaper model only available online and made in china but they do have some good reviews out there online so i thought i would take a chance with it.
So i installed it and got it running last night. It says it can hadle up to 4000gph, Im using a 1900gph pump and it is going through a biofilter first. When i hooked it up the water flowed slowly through the UV and the biofilter overflowed. So i cut my inlte house to the biofilter and put a flow reducer on it now it seems to be working...Do i have other options or did i do something wrong?
ALSO: I dont believe there is a "quartz sleeve" protecting the uv bulb. Maybe im just an idiot but to me it looks like its just a dual UV bulb inside a plastic tube...Am i missing something? Of course this company only has email for customer support and i doubt i will ever hear anything back....PLEASE HELP...
