I am looking at an Aqua UV clarifier because it has a 2" inlet and outlet. I
have a low pressure high volume pump running about 1800 GPH capable of 4300
with no head. I am working on reducing all restriction do to pipe size. This
is the only company I can find that offers an inlet and outlet of 1.5" or
bigger in a pipe fitting. The rest are all made for a hose fitting. If a
hose fitting is used I would want two units with a 1.5" fitting to fit my
two supply lines.

I dont run my UV off my pump at all. I have a small pump that move the water past
the UV at nice slow rate. Ingrid

I think they're the best.
I'm running an 80W (2-lamp) Aqua UV with 2" I/O.
All pond water goes thru it via a 4400 GPH (@ 10' head) Performance
Pro pump. No sharp elbows, no check valves or other lossy devices.
Has worked flawlessly for one year now.

I am keeping my system simple and efficient. I have one pump that is doing
good so far. I could connect the UV to one output side and it would only see
about 900 GPH I still want the larger diameter 2" piping to reduce flow
restrictions.

Is this secondary pump running non-stop?
I thought of running UV off the waterfall pump, but it's only about 10 hours
a day.

A UV clarifier isn't much. Literally it's a UV light bulb and a PVC shell.
The UV light bulb is usually made by Phillips. Some like the double helix
wrap pipe around the bulb so you have more contact time. SOme have quartz
sleeves that you have to clean out every so often. So there's not much
difference between UV clarifiers so look for one that meets your plumbing
needs.
