AQUAEL Steriliser UV-C lamp AS 5W for aquariums up to 200l
The AS 2.0 UV STERILISER is a device for improving the quality and clarity of aquarium water. It is an effective tool to counteract the problems associated with the formation and spread of unwanted bacteria and pathogens, which often lead to green and cloudy water. The device is completely safe for fish and other aquatic animals as well as the beneficial nitrifying bacteria living in aquarium filters.
With the UV STERILIZER AS 2.0, you can enjoy crystal-clear water without worrying about the well-being of your aquarium inhabitants.
Maintaining the biological balance in aquaria is often a challenge for aquarists. One clear sign of a disruption to this condition is the appearance of green and cloudy water. If the right steps are not taken in time, our aquarium will cease to be a decoration in the home and become an object we do not want to be in.
UV STERILISER AS 2.0 for unwanted blooms
Green and cloudy water in the water tank is a clear sign of the presence of algae. Various factors can be the cause of this unwanted phenomenon, such as overexposure of the tank to the sun, an excessive fish population or an excess of fertiliser applied to the aquarium plants.
One simple and effective solution to help prevent algae growth leading to cloudy water and potentially adversely affecting the health of tank occupants is to install a UV steriliser.
The UV STERILIZER AS 2.0 is a device designed to improve the quality and clarity of aquarium water. It is an effective tool in the fight against
green and cloudy water effect. It reduces or even eliminates the need to use chemicals for water purification.
The operation of the AS 2.0 UV steriliser is extremely simple. Water passing through the device is exposed to ultraviolet light, emitted by a filament placed in a sleeve. The light damages algae, bacteria and pathogens, which are the main culprits of turbidity and greening of the water. It is important that the lamp only destroys organisms that pass through its interior, making it completely safe for fish, other aquatic animals and beneficial nitrifying bacteria. The AS 2.0 UV steriliser can also be useful for treating certain fish diseases, even without the need for medication.
Universal
Aquael's AS 2.0 UV steriliser is available in 4 models with 5, 7, 9 and 11 watts of power for aquariums of different sizes up to 800 litres. Importantly, the steriliser is always part of the aquarium filtration system and not a stand-alone unit. The sterilisers must be connected to the pumps that will circulate the water through the lamp. Aquael's AS 2.0 UV steriliser can be powered by an external pump as well as a filter and fits most models on the market.
Convenient
In addition to its high technical performance, Aquael's AS 2.0 UV steriliser allows it to be installed not only externally on filter or pump hoses, but also when fully submerged in water. This solution is particularly suitable for tanks where filtration takes place in external filtration systems such as sumps.
Safe
As is well known, ultraviolet radiation (UV) adversely affects health, so when dealing with devices using its properties, it is always essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
It is worth emphasising that Aquael has placed great emphasis on ensuring the safe use of the UV Steriliser AS 2.0. First of all, the casing of the device is made of extremely UV-resistant plastic. Secondly, the UV Steriliser AS 2.0 is fully sealed and meets the IPX8 protection standard. This means that the device can safely operate in conditions of continuous immersion in water.
The AS 2.0 UV steriliser is also equipped with an on/off switch that automatically switches off the UV-C fluorescent lamp when the lamp housing is opened without first disconnecting it from the power source. (Not recommended by the manufacturer!). This is particularly important from the point of view of protecting eyesight, which is particularly sensitive to contact with UV radiation. With these safety measures, users can use the AS 2.0 UV steriliser with the confidence that they are taking the appropriate precautions.
Easy to use and long-lasting
The high durability of the UV Sterilizer AS 2.0, expressed both in the longevity of the filament and the aforementioned housing, is a guarantee that we will be able to use it for a long time. Taking into account the fact that sterilisers usually work for a certain period of time, and that the filament in the UV Sterilizer AS 2.0 allows for up to 10,000 operating hours, it will probably need to be replaced once every 5 years. This is certainly not something to be feared, as the level of difficulty is similar to changing the filament in traditional lamps, and the filament matching the UV Sterilizer AS 2.0 is still available from Aquael.
Energy efficient
The UV Sterilizer AS 2.0 is one of the few on the market equipped with an electronic ballast, which increases the life of the filament and allows significant energy savings compared to sterilisers equipped with electromagnetic ballasts. A lamp with an electronic circuit - such as the one used in the AS 2.0 UV steriliser - consumes up to 50% less electricity compared to a lamp equipped with an electromagnetic ballast.
