UV Only Acts on What Passes Through It

A UV sterilizer treats the water inside its chamber and nothing else. Organisms carried past the lamp get a dose; anything living on rock, glass or a fish does not. That one fact explains most disappointment with UV — it is a water-treatment device rather than a tank treatment, and it is sized by flow.

What's in This Collection

  • In-line UV sterilizers — plumbed into a return line or fed by their own pump, across a range of wattages.
  • Hanger and submersible units — for systems without an easy plumbing run.
  • In-line clarifiers for canister filters — UV added to an existing filter loop.
  • Replacement bulbs and quartz sleeves — matched by wattage.
  • Ballasts, mounting brackets and silicone lubricant for the O-rings.

Getting the Dose Right

  • Flow rate is the dial. Faster flow means less contact time, and the manufacturer's rated flow is what the wattage assumes.
  • Bulbs fade long before they fail. Output drops while the lamp still lights, so replace on the maker's schedule rather than waiting for darkness.
  • Keep the quartz sleeve clean — a film on the sleeve stops UV before it ever reaches the water.
  • UV light damages eyes and skin. Never run a lamp outside its housing.

J&L Aquatics was formed in December 1997

Our business was started from our love of the aquarium hobby. We at J&L Aquatics felt that the Canadian aquarist should have the option to purchase top quality supplies, equipment and livestock other than the generally over priced local retail stores.
