Or for more effectiveness (8000 gallons & larger), two Terminator 36 Watt UV Clarifier can be on separate lines/pumps with water intakes and returns in different sections of the pond. *UVC Bulb included, replacement bulb available here: 36 watt Replacement lamp; G11/PLL 36 (Click Picture to enlarge) UV KITS *TERMINATOR 5 WATT UV STERILIZER/ INTERNAL FILTER KIT- $83.99 *TERMINATOR 9 WATT UV/ INTERNAL FILTER KIT- $99.99*TERMINATOR 13 WATT UV/ INTERNAL FILTER KIT- $112.99 Both kits include tubing & have tubing partially attached and pre-cut.

Also compare our shipping price, ours is usually lower! * UV WATER RETURN ADAPTER- $6.99 for use with ReSun, Terminator, or any other under aquarium UV Sterilizer.

Terminator Ultraviolet Sterilizers/Clarifiers (and most others) are non directional and either port/hose barb can be used as the inlet or outlet. The position of the UV Sterilizer (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) also makes little difference in effectiveness, however flow rate and aquarium/pond turnover does (protecting the Sterilizer from harsh weather or yard sprinklers is also helpful for Sterilizer life even though these are weather resistant, but not proof). Cannot tell if the UVC light is functioning: *View the clear barbs in dim lighting or at night as it s often hard to see the blue/green glow in bright lighting, especially with lower wattage units such as the Terminator 5 Watt. The UV Sterilizer does not appear to be functioning: *Do not assemble the top with the UVC light and then plug into AC outlet, there is a safety switch that must be depressed to allow current to flow. This switch is depressed when the top is properly screwed on all the way. As well, sometimes this switch can be bent and still will not properly make contact even with the top properly screwed on; in this case use a flat head screw driver to make sure this small silver metal switch (tab) properly seats (if plugged in while testing, please shield eyes and do not look at the light for more than a second or two). For more information about pond applications (including a diagram for reducing flow), please see the UV Sterilizer section in this article: A Clear Pond; Pond Information Note: The Terminator UV Sterilizer is the most reliable UV Sterilizer I have used, with not one defect in many of my applications or 1000s of online sales. All returns to date have been either breakage in shipping or improper installation, so please check your unit carefully before returning if a problem is suspected. Please do not hesitate to return your unit or email us if you cannot solve ANY problem with your unit. The Terminator UV Sterilizer easily connects to a Bio Cube Aquarium simply connecting in-line between the pump and the return hole in the Bio Cube (extra tubing may be necessary).Please click on the picture to the left for a better view; pictured with a Terminator 5 Watt UV Sterilizer WHAT SIZE UV IS BEST? For sterilization you want 20-40 gph per watt (even less is OK) and an aquarium turnover rate of 1-1/2 times per hour (recommended minimum). Example a pump that produces 200 gph after all loads are placed on it on 60 gallon has a turnover rate of a little over 3 times and with a 7 watt UV (200 divided by 7) = 28.5 gph per watt. These are minimums, higher turnover is better and a low watt per gph is best. For pond algae control; 40 gph per watt will work and a turn over rate as low as once per three hours will usually work. Terminator and ReSun Ultraviolet Sterilizers provides clear water for aquariums and ponds efficiently and reliably. Designed for freshwater and saltwater environments. *Quartz Sleeve *Excellent Circulation with In-Chamber Reaction *Unique Safety switch that stops operation when unit is opened (not available on most sterilizers!) *Small Compact Design *Quartz PL Compact Bulb *Water Resistant Ballast, Long life Ballast *Efficient Design *Long Contact Time *Bulb included *Indicator Light (ReSun) * DO NOT compare to the Aqua Medic or Jebo, these units have poor flow patterns, short ballast life and leak! If a you do not have a canister filter or sump pumps, we recommend these filters to run your UV Sterilizer: Via Aqua Internal Filters ![]() Here is a basic picture for plumbing a compact UV Sterilizer using an Internal Filter or Power Head. The lines and can be much more neatly placed than the diagram (this is just for emphasis). This demonstration is shown on the front of the tank for easier viewing, obviously this would be placed on the back of an aquarium. You may also place your power head/ internal filter on its side for an easier tubing application. This example is of the 302 PF and the 5 watt Terminator, althought the 9 watt and other UV/filter combinations would be similar (as well the way the internal filter is picture is only one of a few diffent ways it can be placed into the tank) The picture can be enlarged by clicking on it too! This diagram (please click on the picture to enlarge) shows three different ways the Via Aqua 305 PF & 306 PF can be set up with the extra parts provided (there are more filter combinations as well, although the 302 PF has less combinations). There are more combinations you can perform with the parts provided, and as well most of the parts provided will not be necessary for the average application. I generally use the 90 degree angle for UV attachments and I do not recommend the aeration feature when attached to UV Sterilizers.Ultraviolet Radiation; How it affects life on earth | Compact- UV -Sterilizer | UVC Replacement Lamp | 15 Watt UV Sterilizer | 15-25-watt-uv- Bulb | Aquarium UV Sterilization | Quartz-Sleeve-Ballast | TMC UV Sterilizer | Pocket-Purifier | | Via Aqua | U.V.
