Aqua Ultraviolet – 160 Watt Classic UV Sterilizer, 2" (White) w/ NEMA Transformer
Overview
High-capacity UV-C sterilizer for large ponds, aquaculture, and serious aquarium life-support. The Classic 160W with 2" slip ports and NEMA transformer (120V/60Hz) delivers robust water clarification and pathogen reduction with four 40-watt lamps in a service-friendly housing.
Key Features
-
Heavy-duty Classic body with 2" slip inlet/outlet for high-flow plumbing
-
Quad-lamp (4 × 40W) design for strong UV dose and clear water
-
Clears green water; reduces algae, bacteria, and protozoa load
-
Weather-resistant (non-submersible) for indoor or protected outdoor installs
-
Remote NEMA transformer for reliable, easy-service power management
Sizing & Flow Guidance
-
Sterilizer (freshwater): ~6,000–8,500 gal
-
Sterilizer (saltwater): ~1,200 gal
-
Clarifier (freshwater): up to ~16,000 gal (with 50–75% plant coverage)
-
Typical UV-dose flow targets (EOL):
-
~5,400 GPH ≈ 30,000 µW·s/cm² (max clarifying flow)
-
~3,600 GPH ≈ 45,000 µW·s/cm²
-
~2,700 GPH ≈ 60,000 µW·s/cm²
-
~2,160 GPH ≈ 75,000 µW·s/cm²
-
For tighter pathogen control, throttle toward the higher-dose flow targets. Use valves/unions to fine-tune and service.
