How do you use this item in a pond? Does it go into the water, or is it outside the pond, near it?

I have an all in one filter/UV/fountain, the light is in the unit, in the water. I haven't had green water or string algae since I started using a UV light system in my pond. I highly recommend it.

I am not sure...our application was mostly based on its size and not for water use. Sorry couldn't help.

it goes inside a fixture made by tetra pond. you pump water through the fixture which is beside the pond

This bulb is not water proof and should not be put into a pond. It is meant as a germicidal airborne bulb.

The size is not very large, maybe 6-8" wide (diameter) by 12" long. Originally I weighed it down so it was submerged but eventually I tied it off at the pump discharge so it was being hit with water constantly and was partially submerged as it will eventually get saturated and lose a little buoyancy. I never let it loose just to float around and end up stagnant somewhere in the pond. Item worked great for my natural spring fed pond that only has a pump to aerate the water for a few trout that inhabit the pond. Use to spend hours cleaning moss, no more. Would definitely recommend this product. The size is not very large, maybe 6-8" wide (diameter) by 12" long.

Just put it in the pond water somewhere, could be in the filter, settling tank or water fall. It can be just floating in the pond but I usually try to put it somewhere out of sight. It can make the water a light tea color for a few days but will clear up and work for several months.

I hooked it up inline from my skimmer to the waterfall. So just cut the hose and clamps. Otherwise you need a submersible pump and hose. Pond was crystal clear in 3 days. Works awesome

i think it will not work because the pond water will dilute it and make it useless and it will be bad for the aquatic life ,,

This is a free standing pond skimmer that sits in the pond, not suspended or hung on side of pond (liner). We choose this type of skimmer due to the area we live in, it freezes in the winter and didn't want the seal of a wall mounted (liner) skimmer to crack and therefore leak. We wish you luck in finding your answer.

it will probably work for holding the water in the pond. I used it for my basement to keep the water out and it started to lift from the pressure.

it takes very little time if it is put in before the algae starts growing. I generally put it in April, when the weather starts to get nice. I have a 3/4 acre pond and I use 2 bags. I have had no problems with it and it does a good job keeping the pond clear all summer. if you have other questions let me know.

yes. buttttttt. i would not recommend this product. it didn't catch as much debris as i wanted even though it was rated for a large pond. it also came loose and i lost all of my pond water:( rating scale 1-5.....a "0"

it is not under pressure. pond water is pumped into top where it soaks through the filter pads and them out at the bottom. There is an overflow spout at the top if too much water builds up, but can still leak if too much water. best to have a valve so you can better adjust the flow into filter

There is no water. It is a plug in appliance. This should NOT be put anywhere near water!

It has to be connected to the pump, it is not a stand alone,however it can be used in the pond or out.

I have a pond myself and what we normally do is take the filter indoors over the winter and not let it run because we had a filter before that completely froze over while we had it running during a winter and it broke the filter. It all really depends on where you're located and matters of preference . I've seen people who do leave them out during the winter and they're just fine. Personally, I like to take ours in.

Mine doesn't. It just floats there in the pond. Is the cord maybe tipping it? I can't think of anything else.

It's perfect for an aquarium but a pond is a little to much. Mine is in a 40 gallon aquarium.

The clay pieces will go every where if you don't use a planter pot. I try not to get cly and dirt in my pond because it muddies the water.

Don't know. My only use was for an outside fresh water falls and pond. Works great there.
