Lifegard Ultraviolet Sterilizers produce UV light at 2537 angstroms, exerting a lethal effect on the unwanted, disease causing micro-organisms. Lifegard UV Sterilizers, when used properly, are extremely beneficial in destroying disease causing Pathogens, Harmful Bacteria, Mold spores, Yeast, Virus, Protozoa, Fungi as well as Algae.

Lifegard UV Sterilizers use pure hard quartz material in their bulbs, which dramatically increases the UV output as compared to other conventional bulbs of equal wattage. Pure quartz material resists solarization and improves the longevity of the UV bulb. The unique test tube like pure quartz sleeve isolates the bulb from water contact, providing an optimal bulb operating temperature of 100º F (38º C). This optimal bulb temperature results in a 35% higher UV output over conventional units without sleeves.

Lifegard modular filters are easy to assemble using standard PVC fittings which we sell online. Any combination of modules can be strung together to form a complete filtration system. These systems can be run by an external water pump. Many hobbyists use modular filters in the return line from their aquarium reservoir for various applications.

This module is equipped with 1-1/4" slip by 1" slip fittings and includes fittings to reduce to 3/4" FPT.
