Product Description
UVC light breaks up the genetic material (DNA) of bacteria in air, water and on hard surfaces so they can no longer function or reproduce. It’s a natural germicide that has been used to disinfect hospital room surfaces, public places, money and drinking water. In aquariums, UVC light kills suspended bacteria and algae that contribute to cloudy or murky water.
Connects in-line to all canister filter hosing with an internal diameter of 5/8″ (or 16mm), including all Fluval 07 and 06 Series canister filters. The UVC can be used on any external filter that has tubing of 16mm.
No need to replace the bulb. Fluval have carefully thought about the efficiency of the unit, they have used a cold cathode which prolongs the bulbs life by up to 3x meaning a possible usage of 30,000 hours, no need to pay for expensive replacement bulbs. The unit comes with a timer which can be set to run continuously or intermittent stints again helping to prolong the UV life.
