Unsatisfactory

Aquastep UV Sterlizer by Amazingly Alive

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 5/6/2008

Comments: I was sent a sterilizer that had a gapping hole in the sleeve. I was shocked 3 times before my husband found out what the problems was. I could have been killed, but the electricity went down my arm and out through my fingers. Even at that, Pentair wouldn't replace the sleeve. They say it was over 1 month and I probably had it running 6 weeks improperly. I'm really sorry I purchased this product. I still haven't got the new sleeve. My order history shows that it will be shipping soon. I imagine directly from the company. Marine depot has been great about it, but I will never buy anything again from Pentair Aquatics. I hope no one will have to go through the same thing I did. I hope this is printed for Marine Depot Customers. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I added this UV to my FB-300 fluidized bed by the same company. The install was easy. I know this might sound strange. My mortality rate in my tank dropped to zero. Fish die of old age now. I assume it is killing all the free floating bacteria and viruses that are present in live water I highly recommend this unit as it has had the most significant impact out of any single filter that I have used. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: BOUGHT THIS UV STERILIZER TO REPLACE ONE BY CORALIFE. IT WAS A SNAP TO INSTALL, OUT OF THE WAY, UNDER MY TANK. JUST BUY A GOOD, QUIET POWERHEAD AND SOME 1/2 INCH TUBING AND YOUR IN BUSINESS. TANK NOT ONLY BECAME CRYSTAL CLEAR, BUT FISH SEEM MORE ACTIVE AND HEALTHY. A LITTLE BLUE LIGHT COMES ON SO YOU KNOW IT'S WORKING.I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

25W UV Sterilizer by DARREN COWL

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 10/18/2007 from MANKATO, MN UNITED STATES

Comments: The unit itself seems to work fine(hard to tell if it works for sure), but it was hard to install on the edge of the tank with the inflow/outflow attachments. For a tank with a thin lip, it works fine, but for my tank, I couldn't clamp it all the way down or else it would bind the inflow tube into the sterilizer. I would not recommend this product to my friends.
