Via Aqua Terminator & ReSun Compact UV Sterilizers |
 5 through 36 WATT COMPACT UV STERILIZER and KITS, with Quartz Sleeve, for Aquariums or Ponds
DO NOT be fooled by some Compact UVs sold on the internet with poor construction, poor ballasts and lights that often burn out after a few months (We have tested and rejected these $30-$50 units as they did not measure up!), no indicator light or safety features, (and often high shipping charges too)! These Terminator UV Sterilizers feature: (please click on pictures below to enlarge, scroll to the Pay Now button to purchase/ place in cart)  Solid construction with easy service and maintenance Excellent exposure time per gph of water inside unit with a flow design maximizes water exposure. 1.5 cm distance between UV inside wall and quartz sleeve (approx. 6 cm reaction chamber) with an Intensity Factor of at least 250. Excellent value, especially when compared to gimmicky units such as the Turbo Twist which I have personally used in my aquarium maintenance & design business with NO better results than the Terminator, yet the Terminator cost much less (or even more gimmicky wiper UVs). The Terminator is actually superior to the Tetra UV Sterilizers as per my tests. Quite simply there is no better UV in its class (yes there are better units for $100s more in UVs in a different class such as HO UVs). Terminator UV Clarifiers can be either installed in-line (such as with a Canister Filter or power head), placed on a valve controlled bypass, or hung on the back. For HOB applications where an internal power head/pump/filter is used, I recommend the purchase of the intake and return adapters which are sold separately to keep tubing in from the aquarium from kinking (see picture of these lower on this page). EXCELLENT for use with Bio Cube or ReSun Internal Wet/Dry Filters for which they easily install to (See this blog post: Bio Cube, UV Sterilizers ) All these UV Sterilizers/Clarifiers use ½ inch to 1 inch ID (inside dimension) tubing. We recommend a pump with at least 4 feet of head pressure to adequately push water through even a 5 Watt UV. Terminator and ReSun UV Sterilizers/ Clarifiers use standard low pressure mercury lamps are rated at 36,000 to 42,000 microwatt-seconds per square centimeter (uw-sec/cm2), which is the industry standard.

For sterilization you want 20-40 gph per watt (even less is OK) and an aquarium turnover rate of 1-1/2 times per hour (recommended minimum). Example a pump that produces 200 gph after all loads are placed on it on 60 gallon has a turnover rate of a little over 3 times and with a 7 watt UV (200 divided by 7) = 28.5 gph per watt. These are minimums, higher turnover is better and a low watt per gph is best. For pond algae control; 40 gph per watt will work and a turn over rate as low as once per three hours will usually work. Terminator and ReSun Ultraviolet Sterilizers provides clear water for aquariums and ponds efficiently and reliably. Designed for freshwater and saltwater environments. *Quartz Sleeve *Excellent Circulation with In-Chamber Reaction *Unique Safety switch that stops operation when unit is opened (not available on most sterilizers!) *Small Compact Design *Quartz PL Compact Bulb *Water Resistant Ballast, Long life Ballast *Efficient Design *Long Contact Time *Bulb included *Indicator Light (ReSun) * DO NOT compare to the Aqua Medic or Jebo, these units have poor flow patterns, short ballast life and leak! We recommend 5/8"-3/4" ID Tubing for these UV Sterilizers, Available here (Click on Picture):  Aquarium/Pond Vinyl Tubing; - Airline, 3/8, ½, 5/8, 3/4: and hose clamps too.  Why should you use a ultra-violet sterilizer? (How UV sterilization works) This article explains the benefits and myths about aquarium and pond uv sterilization; What is UVC and what is the proper UVC wave length? What is the Redox Potential and what is the proper Redox Potential?CLICK ON THE PICTURE FOR THE FULL UP TO DATE ARTICLE ABOUT UV STERILIZATION For additional information about Ultraviolet radiation: Ultraviolet Radiation; How it affects life on earth If a you do not have a canister filter or sump pumps, we recommend these filters to run your UV Sterilizer:  Via Aqua Internal Filters For compact UV replacement bulbs, please click the picture link below:    Here is a basic picture for plumbing a compact UV Sterilizer using an Internal Filter or Power Head. The lines and can be much more neatly placed than the diagram (this is just for emphasis). This demonstration is shown on the front of the tank for easier viewing, obviously this would be placed on the back of an aquarium. You may also place your power head/ internal filter on its side for an easier tubing application. This example is of the 302 PF and the 5 watt Terminator, althought the 9 watt and other UV/filter combinations would be similar (as well the way the internal filter is picture is only one of a few diffent ways it can be placed into the tank) The picture can be enlarged by clicking on it too!  For help in connecting aquarium tubing to hose barbs or similar connection, please click here. This diagram (please click on the picture to enlarge) shows three different ways the Via Aqua 305 PF & 306 PF can be set up with the extra parts provided (there are more filter combinations as well, although the 302 PF has less combinations). There are more combinations you can perform with the parts provided, and as well most of the parts provided will not be necessary for the average application. I generally use the 90 degree angle for UV attachments and I do not recommend the aeration feature when attached to UV Sterilizers.| Compact- UV -Sterilizer | UVC Replacement Lamp | 15 Watt UV Sterilizer | 15-25-watt-uv- Bulb | Aquarium UV Sterilization | UV-Pump | Quartz-Sleeve-Ballast | TMC UV Sterilizer | | Via Aqua | U.V.
