The use of ultraviolet C (UV-C) radiation is the most effective method for sterilizing water. No chemicals are involved and there is no risk of overdose. Sterilization is instantaneous.

High concentration UV-C energy has a lethal effect on living organisms by altering their genetic material (DNA) and inhibiting their ability to reproduce. The microbicidal properties of UV-C radiation are beneficial for destroying bacteria, viruses, protozoa, algae, yeasts, and mold spores.

D-D UV lamps produce a radiation intensity of 33,000 microwatts per second per square centimeter, sufficient to destroy most common pathogens in freshwater and saltwater aquariums, as well as in ponds.

Construction features:

• Thin high-intensity quartz lamp with ceramic cap for good thermal insulation.
• Lamp lifespan of 9000 hours of continuous use.
• Electronic ballast for proper operation, ensuring the lamp's lifespan.
• Quartz housing that prevents thermal shocks and maintains the lamp at the correct temperature for maximum UV-C output regardless of water temperature.
