5 through 36 WATT COMPACT UV STERILIZER with Quartz Sleeve, for Aquariums or Ponds
(Click on pictures to the right to enlarge) DO NOT be fooled by some Compact UVs sold on the internet with poor construction, poor ballasts and lights that often burn out after a few months (We have tested and rejected these $30-$50 units as they did not measure up!), no indicator light or safety features, (and often high shipping charges too)! These Terminator UV Sterilizers feature: Solid construction Excellent exposure time per gph of water inside unit. Excellent value, especially when compared to gimmicky units such as the Turbo Twist which I have personally used in my aquarium maintenance & design business with NO better results than the Terminator, yet the Terminator cost much less (or even more gimmicky wiper UVs). The Terminator is actually superior to the Tetra UV Sterilizers as per my tests. Easy service and maintenance Quite simply there is no better UV in its class (yes there are better units for $100s more in UVs in a different class such as HO UVs). Terminator UV Clarifiers can be either installed in-line (such as with a Canister Filter or power head), placed on a valve controlled bypass, or hung on the back. For HOB applications where an internal power head/pump/filter is used, I recommend the purchase of the intake and return adapters which are sold separately to keep tubing in from the aquarium from kinking (see picture of these lower on this page). All these UV Sterilizers/Clarifiers use ½ inch to 1 inch ID (inside dimension) tubing. We recommend a pump with at least 4 feet of head pressure to adequately push water through even a 5 Watt UV.

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!

The lines and can be much more neatly placed than the diagram (this is just for emphasis). The return line would go behind the tank (it is shown in the front for visual reasons). You may also place your power head/ internal filter on its side for an easier tubing application.
