For use in the following applications: Installed in a hanging position or underneath aquarium tanks to kill disease causing micro-organisms. Also use inside pond filters or skimmers to kill free floating algae.
Internal Step Design. Directs water back and forth across UV light tripling the contact time through the unit.
Ease of Replacement. Unique 4 pin connector for easy bulb replacement without shutting down the system.
Clear View Port. Allows visible light (no UV) to pass through and indicate bulb is operating.
Adjustable Clamp. Spring loaded clamp creates a snug fit to any aquarium or reservoir tank.
UV Bulb. Highest quality, pure hard quartz material allows maximum UV transmission and longer bulb life.
Compression Coupling and Gasket. Creates water tight seal at quartz sleeve and around ballast cord.
Electronic Ballast. 10W, 15W and 25W high output UL listed ballast. (230V 50HZ ballast available).
Versatile. Inlet and outlet at top for hang on and at bottom for below aquarium installations. Use inlet ports on each side to connect multiple units together for any size requirement.
Distribution Plate. Evenly distributes water into chamber.
Plugs. Plug off inlet ports not in use. Can be removed to drain or clean unit.
Free Standing Base. Holds AquaStep in place for installations below or beside aquarium.
Innovative design creates more volume area for increased contact time. Flat side allows snug fit to any aquarium or reservoir tank.
High Capacity. More capacity than any other make of equal height due to shape of chamber and step design.
Water Fall. Increases oxygen level by spreading out a thin sheet of gently falling water.
Adjustment Screws. Keeps unit level when installed in hanging position on tank.
Splash Boot creates water resistant seal around electrical connection.
Unique 4-pin connector design for easy bulb replacement without shutting down the system.
UV Bulb of highest quality pure hard quartz material allows maximum UV transmission and longer bulb life. End cap wire design drops bulb further into unit for maximum output and keeps heat away from sealing area.
10, 25 or 40 Watt UL listed Ballast, (230V, 50Hz ballast available)
Compression Coupling & Gasket seals quartz sleeve to cap.
Test tube style quartz sleeve isolates UV bulb from water contact allowing it to operate at the optimum bulb temperature for maximum UV output. Highest quality pure hard quartz material allows maximum UV transmission.
Replaceable Internal Overflow Pipe automatically vents air from chamber and directs 100% of the water flow past UV light
Sleeve Guide guides quartz sleeve into proper position for accurate assembly.
Replaceable Inner Protective Sleeve protects outer housing from long term UV damage. Acts as an internal reflector maximizing UV efficiency.
Modular Construction allows simple connection to any Lifegard Modular filter system or outside canister filter.
Solid cap features Clear View Port to allow visable light (no UV) to pass through and indicate bulb is operating.
