Aqua Ultraviolet – 160 Watt Classic UV Sterilizer, 2" (White) w/ NEMA Transformer

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.

Installation Notes

1. Install after mechanical filtration on a pressure line; avoid gravity-feed.

2. Use unions/valves to isolate the unit and set flow to target dose.

3. Protect from weather; do not submerge.

4. Replace lamps annually (≈9–12 months run time) to maintain UV output.
