Aqua Ultraviolet – 15 Watt Classic UV Sterilizer, 2" (Black) with Wiper
Overview
Compact, durable UV-C sterilizer for ponds and aquariums. This Classic 15W model with 2" slip ports adds a built-in manual wiper to help keep the quartz sleeve clear between services—great for polishing loops, QT systems, and modest displays.
Key Features
-
Classic housing with 2" slip inlet/outlet for easy plumbing in high-flow systems
-
Single low-pressure 15W UV-C lamp for algae/bacteria/protozoa control
-
Integrated manual wiper helps maintain sleeve clarity and UV performance
-
Weather-resistant (non-submersible) body for indoor or protected outdoor installs
-
Clear end cap shows lamp-on status; quick access for lamp/sleeve changes
Note: Aqua Ultraviolet does not recommend wipers for saltwater use; doing so can void the wiper warranty. For marine systems, many installers choose the non-wiper variant and clean the sleeve during lamp changes.
