It acts as an algae remover from the water, fights bacteria and parasites dangerous to fish and plants, it will eliminate the causes of most diseases. It is the most effective solution to solve "green water" problems. Sterilization with UV-C rays does not modify the chemical composition of the water. It is a safe, reliable and fast method of disinfecting water without the use of chemicals. The UV-C lamp is an excellent solution in the fight against algae and stopping their multiplication.

in aquariums

The UV-C lamp is very useful in the case of sensitive and delicate fish cultures susceptible to bacterial infections. It is used in freshwater and marine aquariums. It helps fight fish disease by allowing you to reduce or even safely eliminate pathogens in the water. It helps fight protozoa that cause diseases in saltwater fish, including the so-called "chickenpox". The UV-C lamp is recommended in all aquariums with a large number of fish, as it helps to keep the water clean and sterile.

in the ponds

The UV-C lamp is an ideal solution for those who want to keep pond water clean. For every cubic meter of water (1000 liters) in a pond, it must have at least 1 W of lamp power.

the action

Water pumped through the UV lamp passes a thin layer directly into the UV-C UV-C ray field, which destroys algae, bacteria and other disease-causing organisms. Thanks to the sterilizer, the water in the tank remains clean and clear at all times, and the fish and plants live in a comfortable and healthy environment, which is also protected against disease. The UV-C lamp also prevents green water and the growth of algae that appear under the influence of light and changes in the pH of the water. The outer wall of the active sterilization chamber is made of quartz glass. The well-designed housing design makes changing bulbs very easy, even for a hobbyist.

UV-C lamp should be supplied with a properly selected pump or aquarium filter (if used in an aquarium). Special fittings allow the connection of pipes of different diameters.

Do not touch the fluorescent glass directly with your hands. Any fingerprints should be removed with a dry cloth before assembly.
