What does a UV sterilizer do?

A UV sterilizer is used to control infections by stopping the spread of microorganisms from one fish/coral/invertebrate to another through the water. It is also used in pond applications to control free-floating algae. When operated correctly, free-floating microorganisms will be killed by the UV light. Note that the organisms must be in the water that flows to the UV sterilizer. The UV light has no residual effect and will not kill organisms attached to fish (e.g., adult stage of ich) or rocks (e.g., algae).

Compared with other disinfection forms, UV sterilizer has the following advantages:

Ø  High efficient sterilization: normally kill 99%-99.9% bacteria within 1 to 2 seconds.

Ø  Broad spectrum: UV rays has the broadest spectrum, killing almost all bacteria and virus.

Ø  No secondary pollution: don`t add any chemical agent, it does not create secondary pollution to water and surrounding environment, do not change any ingredients in water.

Ø  Safe and reliable to operate: traditional disinfection technology such as adopt chloride and ozone, the disinfectants themselves are highly toxic and flammable material. While UV sterilizer has no such potential safety hazard.

Ø  Low maintenance fee: UV sterilizer occupies a small area (and have a simple structure requirement, so smaller total investment and lower operation cost are easy to achieve).Its cost only half than chlorine disinfection in kiloton water treatment.
