Aqua Nova NUVC-11W UV Steriliser – UV-C Clarifier for Aquariums & Ponds

The Aqua Nova NUVC-11W UV Steriliser is a high-performance 11W UV-C water steriliser designed to keep aquarium and pond water crystal clear. Suitable for both freshwater and marine aquariums, as well as garden ponds, it effectively controls green water, free-floating algae, bacteria, protozoa, and other harmful microorganisms without altering the water’s natural chemistry.

Water passing through the steriliser is exposed to 254 nm UV-C radiation, which destroys suspended algae cells and harmful pathogens. This helps maintain a healthier environment for fish and aquatic plants while significantly improving water clarity.

The steriliser features a durable quartz glass sleeve, ensuring maximum UV transmission while protecting the lamp from direct contact with water. Multiple hose adaptors are included, allowing easy installation into a wide variety of aquarium and pond filtration systems.
