8 Watt Advantage 2000 UV Sterilizer with Hanger Spout

Versatile Water Clarification & Sterilization

• Hang-on-back Design
• Easily Achieve Crystal Clear Water
• Will Not Alter Water Chemistry
• 1/2" Barbed Inlet

Quickly implement a UV onto almost any aquarium in minutes! The AquaUV Advantage series includes a hang-on-back style hanger that houses the output flow from the sterilizer, meaning you only need to plumb the input to your favorite pump using 1/2" tubing and you're ready to go. 

How UV Sterilizers Work

Ultraviolet sterilizers are a time-tested approach to water clarification and sterilization. They emit a germicidal UV-C ray that will alter the DNA or RNA of single celled organisms like algae, bacteria, and protozoa, rendering them unable to reproduce. The result is crystal clear water without the use of any chemicals. Using a UV sterilizer will not alter water chemistry. 

 
Aqua Ultraviolet sterilizers include a clear-blue cap that lets you see when the lamp is powered on, without having to risk any exposure to the harmful UV-C rays. How effective the UV sterilizer is greatly depends on having the proper flow rate through the sterilizer body, so we highly suggest using a valve or a DC pump to control the flow through the UV sterilizer. For freshwater aquariums, AquaUV suggests 642 gallons per hour for the 8 Watt Advantage 2000+ Sterilizer. 

Maintenance

Over time the efficiency of the sterilizer will start to diminish because the lamp is no longer putting out the same amount of energy, but also the quartz sleeve that houses the lamp can become coated with mineral deposits and start to become cloudy. We suggest cleaning the quartz sleeve a few times each year and replacing the UV lamp annually. With proper maintenance, your UV sterilizer will work like it did from day one.
