Aqua Ultraviolet – Classic Inline UV Sterilizer, 57 Watt, 3/4" Socket (Black)

Overview

High-output inline UV-C sterilizer for aquariums and small ponds. The Classic 57W with 3/4" socket unions plumbs into rigid 3/4" PVC for a clean, leak-resistant install—ideal for medium–large displays, reef/freshwater polishing loops, and QT systems.

Key Features

• 3/4" socket (slip) unions for rigid-PVC plumbing

• Single 57W low-pressure UV-C lamp for algae/bacteria/protozoa control

• Clear end cap to confirm lamp-on status at a glance

• Weather-resistant (non-submersible) housing; compact, service-friendly layout

• Optional Wiper version available (not recommended for saltwater use)

Installation Notes

1. Install after mechanical filtration on a pressure line; follow the flow arrow.

2. Solvent-weld 3/4" PVC into the sockets; allow full cure before pressurizing.

3. Use valves/unions to tune flow to your target dose and simplify service.

4. Keep power components dry/ventilated; do not submerge the unit.

5. Replace the lamp every 9–12 months of continuous use to maintain dose.
