AS 3W Steriliser

The AS-3W is a UV-C sterilizer for aquarists who already run a pump or filter and want to treat the circulating water. Water passes through the unit's UV-C field, which is aimed at algae, bacteria and other pathogenic organisms. It is sold as a single 3 W unit with a rated flow of up to 1100 l/h.

Why it matters

• Water flows in a thin layer directly through the UV-C radiation zone, so every passing volume is exposed to the lamp.
• The unit is rated for flow up to 1100 l/h, which sets the maximum circulation rate it should be matched to.
• Transparent connectors accept hoses of different diameters, simplifying connection to existing equipment.
• Some AQUAEL pumps and filters can connect to the sterilizer directly or house it inside the filter body.
