UV Filter for Grotto Aquarium

UPDATE: A new Ultra Violet (UV) Filter has been installed at the Grotto, compliments of our kind parishioners!

The Ultra Violet (UV) Filter in Our Lady's Grotto Aquarium is out of order. Due to gradual wear and tear over the years, the seal for the filter casing has deteriorated and the joint is broken. Our Brothers Vincent and Dominic are attempting to repair the joint using a water resistant sealant but it is not expected to be a lasting solution even if they are able to put it back together.

The purpose of the UV Filter is to prevent algae from growing in the aquarium. Algae grows very quickly and in the absence of a UV Filter, the water in the aquarium will turn murky green in a short space of 2-3 weeks, and emit a foul odour.

If there is any kind parishioner out there whom have the expertise in repairing UV Filters or aqua casing seals in particular; or someone whom would like to sponsor a New UV Filter, please ring 012-208-1650 ASAP.

May God bless the kind soul through the Intersession of Our Lady of the Grotto!

An example of what a UV Filter looks like is shown below:
