There is no loss of performance, you need less energy and the level of effectiveness is 1.8 times greater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ereeflexUV should only be used in conjunction with the filter, in order to reduce small organisms (microorganisms, algae spores etc.) in the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a UV-steriliser, the aquarium water is directed as a thin film past a UV-C lamp (burner). The UV-C radiation penetrates the water and kills off micro organisms, algae spores and other small organisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing conventional technology the water is only irradiated on one side. EHEIM on the other hand has built in a reflector, via which the reflected radiation penetrates the water from more sides. Thus reeflexUV achieves a significantly higher performance level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the EHEIM reeflexUV doesn't have a complicated water flow system. The water is not redirected and flows around the burner without detours. So there is no loss of performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AUTO OFF ensures an optimum level of safety. Since UV-C radiation can cause damage to skin and eyes, reeflexUV switches off immediately when the device is opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to normal waters the bacterial count in an aquarium is relatively high due to the small amount of water. It is worth reducing this and bringing it back to a normal level. However, the aquarium water should never be completely bacteria free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly floating bacteria in the water are captured by the UV-steriliser. Colonised cleaning bacteria in the filter (compare biological filtration) and bacteria in the gravel substrate are spared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurbidity in the water, caused by bacteria or floating algae, is removed very efficiently by the UV-sterilisation. Basically-algae growth is curbed, because the spores are killed off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUV-sterilisers generally ensure healthier fish, because the risk of infection is reduced. A UV-steriliser is especially recommended for breeding tanks, because dangerous pathogens colonise on eggs or infect young livestock, which don’t yet possess enough power of resistance UV-sterilisation in general doesn't cause any kind of changes to the water values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Tanks 300-500 litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 Watt UV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Flow as a Clarifier 800lph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Flow against Microbes 400 lph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure Max .8 Bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHose Size Diameter - Inner 16mm - External Hose 22mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit Height 383mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eheim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44044238061656,"sku":"11957","price":350.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/8557\/1672\/files\/09f6b1b644f20daa064893560612d636708c446d.jpg?v=1779081109","url":"https:\/\/bespokeaquariums.com.au\/products\/reeflexuv5009w","provider":"Bespoke Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
