Key Features:

• Two 40 Watt UV Bulbs: Each unit contains two parallel 40-watt ultraviolet bulbs for maximum sterilization efficiency.
• Optimized Water Flow: The design ensures water is equally distributed through each chamber, maximizing exposure to UV light.
• Easy Installation: 2" x 2" Slip x Slip Inlet and Outlet make for seamless integration into your existing system.

Superior UV Sterilization: The Lifegard Ultraviolet Sterilizer harnesses the power of UV light at 2537 angstroms to effectively eliminate micro-organisms. This wavelength disrupts the genetic material within the cells of pathogens, interrupting their respiration and causing cell death. Properly applied, UV sterilization is a highly effective method for disease control in aquariums.

Optimal Performance Factors:

1. Organism Size: Smaller organisms are more susceptible to UV radiation.
2. Radiation Level: Higher UV levels increase effectiveness.
3. UV Penetration: Clear water allows deeper UV penetration.
4. Contact Time: Longer exposure times result in higher kill rates.

Advanced UV Technology:

• Pure Hard Quartz Bulbs: Enhance UV output significantly compared to conventional bulbs, offering greater durability and resistance to solarization.
• Innovative Quartz Sleeve: Protects the bulb from water contact, preventing thermal shock and contamination, and maintains an optimal operating temperature of 100°F (38°C), boosting UV output by 35%.
• Simple Bulb Replacement: Swap bulbs effortlessly without shutting down your system. The 4-pin connector makes it quick and easy.

Scalable and Effective:

• Customizable Wattage: Available in sizes from 15 watts up to 240 watts, with tandem mounting options to meet any requirement.
• Flow Rate Adjustment: Increase UV effectiveness by slowing the water flow or increasing system wattage.   

Application Note: UV sterilization works best as the final stage in the Lifegard filtration system. While it significantly reduces the micro-organism population, maintaining an optimal flow rate and adequate wattage is crucial for comprehensive disease control.
