Aqua-UV Twist 25 Watt 2" UV Sterilizer With Wiper for Algae and Bacteria Control
Ultraviolet sterilization is a proven, dependable, and effective method for controlling and eradicating algae spores, bacteria, and protozoa present in the water source. Ultraviolet light alters or disrupts the DNA and RNA of target organisms. By properly implementing an Aqua Ultraviolet disinfection system in-line, the targeted organisms can be eradicated effectively without any harmful residuals.
For over twenty years, Aqua Ultraviolet has manufactured quality drinking water and medical units. We now offer these same high-quality and exceptional internal parts in their patented housings. We believe quality products backed by our superior service combine to ensure customer satisfaction and maximum in-line performance.

How It Works
The ultraviolet light sanitizer emits a germicidal ray which alters or disrupts the DNA or RNA of single-celled organisms. Ultraviolet is a proven ultraviolet water purification system for controlling algae, bacteria, and protozoa.
The UV controls the spread of fish disease, viruses, and other harmful pathogens, as well as keeping your water clear by destroying free-floating algae.
Aqua Ultraviolet’s Light Sanitizers will clear your water in 3 to 5 days, sometimes overnight, and keep it that way.
Performance is guaranteed when sized, installed and operated according to our instructions.
Things to Note:
- Weatherproof but not submersible—must be installed outside of the pond.
- DO NOT USE in combination with high-pressure waterfall pumps.
- Water has to be pumped through the UVC—do not operate on gravity feed.
- 1-year manufacturer's limited warranty (warranty does not cover transformer and UVC bulb).
