About OASE (Oase GmbH) Bitron C 36 W INT
The Bitron C 36 W INT is OASE’s inline UVC clarifier designed to reduce green water by exposing pond water to UVC radiation. The unit uses a 36 W UVC lamp (manufacturer-stated UVC power 36 W) and has an electrical consumption of 36 W. OASE lists a maximum flow rate of 30,000 litres per hour and provides a stepped universal hose-barb inlet and outlet set for flexible plumbing connections. The product includes a patented automatic cleaning rotor and a visual inspection window so you can check operation without disassembly. OASE publishes a 5.00 m mains cable length and rated voltage 220–240 V / 50–60 Hz. OASE gives explicit guidance on pond suitability: up to 40.0 m³ for general (no-fish) ponds, 20.0 m³ for stocked fish ponds and 10.0 m³ for koi/heavily stocked ponds. The manufacturer also supplies a replacement UVC 36 W lamp and notes that lamp effectiveness is reduced after approximately 8,000 operating hours (OASE recommends lamp replacement thereafter). Where OASE provides specification values on the product page, those values are used here; where OASE does not publish a value (for example maximum hydraulic head or a flow/head performance curve), those items are not stated. Readers should consult OASE technical documentation or aftersales for installation details not published on the product page.
Best for
Clarifying green water in garden ponds; manufacturer-stated suitability: up to 40 m³ general ponds, 20 m³ for stocked fish ponds, 10 m³ for koi/heavily stocked ponds.
Things to consider
OASE product page contains inconsistent minimum-flow information: the specification table lists Min. flow 8,000 l/h, while a text paragraph on the same page states 4,500 l/h 'can flow past the UVC tube without a bypass.' OASE does not publish a maximum hydraulic head or a flow vs. head performance curve for this model on the product page or downloads index. IP/protection rating and other detailed installation limits are not provided on the referenced OASE pages. Lamp effectiveness reduction after approximately 8,000 operating hours is stated by OASE for the replacement lamp.
Installation
Manufacturer lists stepped hose-barb connections (inlet: 19/25/32/38/50 mm; outlet: 25/32/38 mm). Unit has manual bypass control for flow adjustment and a stated maximum operating pressure of 0.5 bar. Rated for 220–240 V / 50–60 Hz and supplied with a 5.00 m mains cable. For clarification on minimum through-tube flow, bypass setup and any head/installation limits consult OASE aftersales/documentation.
Maintenance
Unit includes a patented automatic cleaning rotor and has a visual window for function checks. OASE recommends replacement of the UVC 36 W lamp when effectiveness is reduced (OASE notes effectiveness reduction after approx. 8,000 operating hours). Manufacturer spare lamp is listed for this model.
Safety
Rated voltage 220–240 V / 50–60 Hz and maximum operating pressure 0.5 bar are stated by OASE. No IP (ingress protection) rating or other electrical/environmental safety class is published on the referenced product page; consult OASE documentation for local electrical safety and installation requirements.
