Aqua Ultraviolet – TWIST 40 Watt UV Sterilizer, 2" (White)

Aqua Ultraviolet – TWIST 40 Watt UV Sterilizer, 2" (White)

Overview

Mid-size UV-C sterilizer with a flexible plumbing layout. The TWIST 40W adds a rotatable union block so you can “twist” the inlet/outlet orientation to match your run—cutting elbows, head loss, and install time. 2" slip ports support high-flow pond and aquarium loops.

Key Features

• Rotating (TWIST) union block aligns ports to your plumbing in tight spaces

• Single 40W low-pressure UV-C lamp targets algae, bacteria, and protozoa

• 2" slip inlet/outlet for clean, high-flow PVC installs

• Clear end cap shows lamp-on status; service-friendly access

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

Installation Notes

1. Install after mechanical filtration on a pressurized return line.

2. Rotate (twist) the union block to align with your plumbing, solvent-weld, and allow full cure before pressurizing.

3. Add unions/valves to isolate the unit and dial in target flow.

4. Protect from weather; do not submerge.

5. Replace the lamp every 9–12 months for consistent UV dose; clean/inspect the quartz sleeve at each change.
