Hozelock Vorton 11 UVC Lamp

The unit does its job. The clarity in my pond has improved very much. Pleased with it.

when operating there should be a blue glow of light when looking into the inspection window on the top of the unit. --but there is no blue glow so the bulb may not doing its job. the pond water is reasonably clear so the unit maybe effective but cannot say for sure. Hozelock spares are presently permanently shut and it is not easy to speak to them. I don't want to take the unit to pieces and buy a new bulb. but it may be a fault with the unit and not the bulb I am not new to this equipment it is the third one I have had over the years as these units do not last very long. sorry I cannot give 5 stars. Don't use my name use Vorton 11.

5ft by 3ft pond. The filter cleared the pond within a few days. Easy to install and so far works very well.

This is a good quality clarifier. What is useful is that one of the hose junctions is a sight glass. So you can check if the bulb is working whilst it is running.My unit arrived with a blown bulb. I changed it for a TLC bought bulb. To do that I did have to widen the opening in the shiny tin plate with a Dremmel tool and it fitted no problem. Bear that in mind if you buy pattern bulbs. Works fine now.

Great to keep pond water clear

Good compact product, the only disappointment was that it was fitted with a sealed continental plug that took some time to replace as this product is used outdoors.

The pump I have had before and works very well. This version arrived promptly but with European 2 pin plug and also no hose connectors as described on box and shown in images on box. Also missing the nuts that hold the screw connectors on as can be seen in images attached. I’ve emailed Hozelock seeking support and hopefully will get it resolved.

Has a continental plug so could not use straight away as had to purchase another adapter for the plug to fit into once that was received it was stairght forward to use
