10W UV sterilising Unit D-D Professional

UV sterilising Unit by D-D Professional for a reef aquarium 10W Model is equivalent to a conventional 20W UV. The use of type C ultraviolet radiation UV-C is the most effective way to sterilise water. No chemicals are involved and there is no risk of dangerous overdosing. Long process times are not required as sterilisation is instantaneous. The highly concentrated UV-C. energy exerts a lethal effect on living organisms. It alters the genetic material DNA and inhibits their reproduction capability. The germicidal properties of UV-C radiation are therefore extremely beneficial in destroying bacteria, viruses, protozoa, algae, yeasts and mould spores. Different types or pathogens or bacteria require different levels of radiation to either kill or to stop them from functioning and multiplying. D-D U.V. Sterilisers are designed to produce a radiation intensity of 30,000 microwatt's/sec/sq.cm which is sufficient to destroy most common pathogens in fresh and salt water aquariums however if required the intensity can be increased by decreasing the flow rate through the unit. In effect the D-D Professional models produce approximately twice as much UV-C per watt than a conventional unit with a glass bulb. This makes the units much more compact and easier to fit into many aquarium cabinets £59 ONO plus postage photo on request Advertiser: stephen devey Telephone: 07976621089 Town: Princes Risborough County: Buckinghamshire
