The`Ultra-V` is now available and has well been worth the wait. These units features include: water tight gasketted housing, hard quartz sleeve, inline bulb replacement, high efficiency remote electronic ballast. And what we feel is the BEST feature of all: The SIZE-- under 22" long. Great for Ponds, Fresh and Marine applications.
The "Ultra-V" Ultra Violet Sterilizers are excellent choices for Freshwater, Saltwater and Pond applications. These units are water tight and utilize hard quartz sleeves for peak performance. The design also allows for UV Bulb replacement without the need to remove the unit from it`s installed position.
Allowing for a maximum flow rates up to 1500 GPH, these units are designed to be used with your favorite water pumps.
Based on a 70,000 æW sec/cm2 (microwatt seconds per square centimeter) the flowrates are as follows:
16 Watt UV Unit 430 gph
40 Watt UV Unit 1000 gph
60 Watt UV Unit 1500 gph
By changing the flow rate through the UV unit you will change the effective "kill power" of the UV unit.
For example: If you only allow 215 gph thru the 16 watt unit, you will effectively increase the kill power to 140,000 æW sec/cm2 (microwatt seconds per square centimeter). And also the opposite, by increasing the flow rate you will lower the "kill power".
We have included a chart to help you calculate your flow rate depending on the "kill power" needed for the corresponding Micro-Organisms.
Waterborne Algae 15,000 to 30,000 æW sec/cm2
Common Bacteria 15,000 to 30,000 æW sec/cm2
Protozoa (Ich) 45,000 æW sec/cm2
Fungi 45,000 æW sec/cm2
The "Ultra-V" is made in the USA and has a 1 year warranty on the Unit and Ballast, and 90 days on the UV Bulb and Quartz Sleeve.

Q
Is it strong enough for a 220 gallon saltwater tank ?
The bulb died twice within 3 months. Then the whole thing melted. The manufacture refused to repair it under warranty saying I must not have "inspected the sterilizer" regularly. I got total of 6 months use. Customer service didn't respond or more than a week. Save you money.
CONS
Ballast are not adequate and Bulbs do not last long
REVIEW
I would avoid this product had it for 4 months now ballast has went out 2 times and bulbs do not last very long on the other hand the product was easily to install and is very small
I purchased the 40 watt unit. After a couple days the unit stopped working, I called Ultralife and they said send back the Ballast and bulb and they would replace both of them. Sent them back and they return replacements right away. Ultralife answered the phone and were very easy to work with. The U...Read More

I wanted this unit for my Spectra Pure system that I have set up for drinking water. From the get go it began leaking. It was a very tiny leak where two PVC parts are glued together. This unit can not with stand water pressure for any length of time. I spoke with the manufacturer and they wanted me to send the entire unit back for them to examine and find out if they needed to make changes to their design. I removed the glue where the leak was occurring and found several areas where the glue had not flowed between the two pipe pieces. Didn't work but was worth a try. Waste of time and moneyHide
It took seconds to install.had to swap plumming adapter which was pretty easy to find at local hardware store. Notice water clarity within hours. Hopefully the replacement bulb will be easy to find. Great so far.
Just awesome. Great size, the install is a breeze, and it cleared my water up in less than 24 hours. This is a product that really does work as advertised and I am a true believer in UV sterilization now. Only thing I should add is teflon tape is needed on the threads to make it leak-proof. You do g...Read More
