Aqua Ultraviolet – Classic Inline UV Sterilizer, 80 Watt, 2" Socket (Black)

Overview

High-capacity inline UV-C sterilizer for ponds and serious aquarium life-support. The Classic 80W with 2" socket (slip-union) ports uses two 40-watt lamps to deliver strong water clarity and pathogen reduction in a compact, service-friendly housing.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty Classic body with 2" socket unions for high-flow PVC plumbing

• Dual-lamp (2 × 40W) design for robust UV dose and fast water polishing

• Targets free-floating algae, bacteria, and protozoa—no chemicals

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

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

• 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 2" PVC into the sockets; allow full cure before pressurizing.

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

4. Protect power components from weather; do not submerge the unit.

5. Replace both lamps every 9–12 months of continuous use to maintain dose.
