    UV Additive losing its UV properties over 10 days?

    Is this normal? I added UV liquid to a loop just to test it and aftger 10 days the water does not glow anymore? I am also using silver in the loop could this be the cause? Anyone had this happened to him?

    If I were a bettin' man, I bet that you were using Fluid XP...Am I right?

    I'm using the blue Pentosin G11 from Petra's and it's not UV reactive so I added the following...

    I'm still getting the UV reaction even after nearly a month of use...

    Well I am not using Fluid XP - Only pharmaceutical water (WFI - water for injection) and silver wire for algae. That is all no other additive!

    It just says UV additive blue on the bottle and I bought it from Alphacool online store.

    But really could it be the silver wire I use in the loop?
