UV Sterilizer

UV Sterilizer


Ultra Violet Sterilizers are fantastic devices for cleaning water while leaving no harmful residue of any kind. By emitting light rays on water flowing through it most algae, yeast, bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungi is killed. Also the process breaks down organic molecules helping mineralization processes leading to better fish-waste to plant fertilization cycle. Also it removes water discoloration as yellow tannin leaking from natural root decorations. UV sterilizer is the best friend in removing green water free floating algae in only two days. And the best is that there is no harm from using it continuously because it can not be overdosed.


UV sterilizers are connected to dedicated pumps or outlet side of canister filters.
