Aquaculture biosecurity is paramount to a successful aquaculture facility. Two reliable and effective biosecurity measure for both disinfection and water quality control are Ultraviolet (UV) sterilisation, and ozone.
UV Sterilisers can be applied in a variety of configurations to treat a wide range of flow rates and to target specific organisms from algae and bacteria to protozoans and viruses.
The application of ozone can be applied to control water quality on an ongoing basis in an aquaculture system, removing BOD, colour, TSS and bacteria and improving water quality and filtration performance, or can be used in higher concentrations to sterilise water to make it safe for introduction into your facility.
Pure Aquatics has the experience and sizing criteria to assist with designing and applying UV steriliser and Ozone systems for biosecurity measures and water quality control.
THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF UV STERILIZER
Pure Aquatics offers RK2 Systems UV Steriliser’s to suit any application.
Xflo UV sterilizers come in sizes from 18 watt to 300watt utilizing low pressure high output T5 lamps.
Pro-Tect UV Sterilizers range in size from 160 watt to 2560 watt utilizing low pressure amalgam (ALH/AUH) and high output (HLH/HUH) UV lamps.
One of the primary jobs the sales and marketing team at RK2 and Pure Aquatics with relation to UltraViolet (UV) water treatment systems-is customer education. ‘Why is that?’ you may ask. Unfortunately, while the concept of UV treatment appears simple, the actual application of the technology is anything but. In fact, capable OEM suppliers take great care to ensure that the customer is able to meet their actual treatment needs, in all practical operational scenarios, today, and as the system ages.
In many cases a potential customer may notice that one quote for a UV product may come in at a significantly higher cost than that of another. Good news, right? Lowest bid wins!
Well, perhaps the company that provided the lowest bid wins, but the real loser may be the customer. In the UV treatment industry, as in many others, it is the hidden or unknown factors that can greatly impact whether your system actually delivers the intended UV dose, or ‘treatment’, or not. In fact, UV water treatment is such a complex technology that the USEPA and other regulatory bodies worldwide have standardized sizing and application regulations for municipal drinking water and waste water.
While aquaculture does not abide by regulations per se (there are regulated aquaculture applications in some countries), capable OEM suppliers use these regulations as guidelines to ensure that the customer has the treatment they require when they purchased their UV system-to ensure adequate protection of their investments at all times.

RK2 XFLO UV STERILIZERS – PROFESSIONAL GRADE EQUIPMENT FOR THE HOME AQUARIST AND POND ENTHUSIAST
Introducing a new option in UV Sterilization.
Looking for a better and more reliable UV option for your backyard pond, water feature, or home aquarium? RK2 is proud to offer our new RK2 XFLO UV Steriliser. Our design team has a combined 60+ years experience and we meticulously worked to create the most user friendly UV solution available while ensuring users a technically sound product they can trust to get the job done right. Whether choosing our RK2 XFLO UV Steriliser with our standard output, three inch diameter model, or our high output five inch diameter model, XFLO UV has the best solution for your specific needs.
Each mirco-organism has its own UV dose or “kill rate”. Determining what micro-organism you are trying to apply UV sterilization to is key to how successful you will be in using a UV Sterilizer. The dose the UV sterilizer will produce is determined by the water flow rate through the steriliser body and across a specific UV lamp. Accurate information from the manufacturer is a must when operating any UV steriliser.

Corona Discharge Ozone Generators are among the most efficient and reliable form of ozone generator.
Ozone needs to be generated on site and requires energy to do so, and Corona discharge ozone generators do this more efficiently than other form of ozone generation.
Activated oxygen, ozone or O3, is a naturally occurring substance, it is generated when lightning strikes. It is a practical solution for many industries aiming to reduce the use of hazardous chemicals and exposing staff to chemical fumes.
Research reveals that ozone kills bacteria and viruses far more effectively and cost effective than chlorine and produces no disinfection byproducts (DBP’s).
Ozone is a useful water quality control agent, moves into water 13 times easier than oxygen, and reverts to oxygen after it reaction. It oxidises solid and dissolved wastes on contact that effect water clarity and colour in RAS, and in sterilisation applications, can kill bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses.
Ozone also assists other filtration to perform better, it helps to microfloculate particles in water so mechanical filters work more effectively. It reduces waste buildup on biological filters and reduces BOD so biofilters work more effectively, and through clarifying and clearing water, UV sterilisers have better penetration through the water column resulting in higher sterilisation rates.
Pure O3 – the ultimate in ozone generator design for harsh aquaculture environments!
In an effort to produce equipment more suitable for harsh aquaculture environments, Pure Aquatics have developed the Pure O3 line of ozone generators.
Our humid and sometime salt laden environments can play havoc with electronics, and high voltage ozone generators can be susceptible to damage/corrosion to their electronics, and at the very least their enclosures corrode and rust.
The Pure O3 ozone generator design features stainless steel connections and a plastic enclosure, offering the ultimate in corrosion resistance. For ozone generators that are not placed in a plant room, additional attachments for ducting the air suction supply for the circulation fans are available.
Ozone Solutions ozone generators are corona discharge ozone generators integrating the latest technology and research and development.
Ozone (O3) is a form is oxygen (O2) that consists of three oxygen atoms. When ozone comes in contact with contaminants, such as bacteria and pathogens, it causes an oxidation reaction that eliminates the contaminants, and breaks the ozone down into two oxygen molecules. This reaction is what makes ozone a safe and effective disinfectant.
For over 100 years, ozone generation has been used as a disinfectant in many industries, such as food production, water treatment, and many more. Over time, ozone generation has shown that it is an improvement to many processes that conventionally use harsh chemicals as disinfectants. This is because of the extreme cost savings, and the many health benefits of using ozone in place of chemicals, such as chlorine.
