Description
The Ultimate Heavy-Duty Clarifier for Large Scale & High-Bio Load Systems
The Aquatop Eliminator Series (IL36-UV) is the flagship model of the Eliminator line, engineered for maximum performance and efficiency. This robust 36-watt in-line system is designed for large aquariums and demanding environments where water clarity and pathogen control are paramount. By integrating this unit into your filtration return line, you harness professional-grade UV-C technology to maintain a crystal-clear, biologically safe environment for your aquatic inhabitants.
Key Features
- Massive 36W UV-C Output: The powerful 36-watt germicidal bulb provides intense ultraviolet radiation capable of handling large volumes of water. It is highly effective at eradicating persistent "green water" algae blooms and significantly reducing the population of harmful waterborne bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
- Extended Dwell-Time Baffling: Like other Eliminator models, the 36W version features a specialized internal baffling structure. This design forces water to swirl and pass the UV bulb multiple times, ensuring that even at higher flow rates, the water receives maximum exposure to the germicidal rays.
- Large Capacity Design: With a body length of approximately 21 inches, this unit offers a substantial sterilization chamber, making it the ideal choice for large display tanks, heavily stocked African Cichlid tanks, or marine reef systems up to 500 gallons
- High-Flow Compatibility: Rated for a maximum flow rate of 1,250 GPH, this unit can be paired with powerful canister filters or high-output sump return pumps without significantly restricting water movement.
- Universal Fitting Kit: Includes a versatile set of stepped hose adapters (1/2" to 1-1/4" and a dedicated 1" adapter) to accommodate the larger diameter tubing typically found on high-capacity filtration systems.
Ideal For:
- Large-scale freshwater and saltwater aquariums (up to 500 Gallons).
- Heavily populated tanks or systems with "messy" inhabitants (Turtles, Koi, Large Predators).
- Eradicating stubborn algae blooms in high-light or outdoor-exposed tanks.
- Maintaining hospital-grade water quality in professional breeding or retail setups.
