In a UV sterilizer, aquarium water is passed as a thin film past a UV-C lamp (burner). The UV-C radiation penetrates the water, eliminating microorganisms, algae spores, and other tiny organisms. Traditional technology typically irradiates the water from just one side. However, EHEIM incorporates a reflector that allows the reflected radiation to penetrate the water from multiple angles, achieving significantly higher efficiency. Furthermore, the EHEIM reeflexUV features a straightforward water flow system, allowing water to flow around the burner directly without any detours, eliminating performance loss.
The AUTO OFF feature enhances safety, as UV-C radiation can be harmful to skin and eyes; the reeflexUV turns off immediately when the unit is opened.
It’s important to note that the bacterial count in an aquarium is typically higher than in regular water due to the limited volume. Therefore, it’s beneficial to lower this count back to a normal level. However, the aquarium water should never be completely free of bacteria. Only suspended bacteria in the water are captured by the UV sterilizer, while established cleaning bacteria in the filter and those in the gravel substrate remain unharmed. Turbidity caused by bacteria or floating algae is efficiently removed through UV sterilization, effectively curbing basic algae growth by killing off their spores.
UV sterilizers contribute to healthier fish by reducing the risk of infections. A UV sterilizer is particularly recommended for breeding tanks, as hazardous pathogens can settle on eggs or infect young fish that lack sufficient resistance. Generally, UV sterilization does not alter water values.
