Aqua Ultraviolet – 15 Watt Classic UV Sterilizer, 3/4" (Black) with Wiper

Aqua Ultraviolet – 15 Watt Classic UV Sterilizer, 3/4" (Black) with Wiper

Overview

Compact, durable UV-C sterilizer for ponds and aquariums. This Classic 15W model uses 3/4" ports and adds a 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 3/4" inlet/outlet for easy inline plumbing

• Single low-pressure 15W UV-C lamp for algae/bacteria/protozoa control

• Manual wiper helps maintain sleeve clarity and consistent UV output

• Weather-resistant (non-submersible) for indoor or protected outdoor installs

• Clear end cap shows lamp-on status; quick access for lamp/sleeve changes

Note: Wipers are not recommended for saltwater use; using a wiper on saltwater can void the wiper warranty. Many marine installs choose the non-wiper variant and clean the sleeve during lamp changes.
