Description
XFLO XFL5‑80H‑2 UV Sterilizer | 80 W High‑Output Ultraviolet Reactor • 5″ Diameter Chamber • Premium Aquarium & Pond‑Grade
The XFLO XFL5‑80H‑2 is a high‑capacity, high‑output UV‑C steriliser engineered for larger aquariums, ponds, and water‑feature installations. With a robust 80‑watt UV‑C lamp housed in a 5″ diameter reactor body, it is designed for substantial water volumes and higher‑throughput systems. It features XFLO’s advanced “L‑shaped” flow path, unionised plumbing designed for ease of service, and a user‑friendly build — delivering professional‑class performance with simplified maintenance.
Key Features
-
High‑Output 80 W UV‑C Lamp — engineered for mid‑to‑large systems requiring strong sterilisation and high flow.
-
Optimised “L‑Shaped” Flow Path — provides excellent hydraulic mixing, minimises dead zones, and maximises UV exposure.
-
Unionised Water Ports (2″ on 5″ Models) — simplifies installation and servicing with standard union fittings.
-
Single‑Ended Lamp & Quartz Sleeve Access — lamp and sleeve can be replaced or cleaned without full disassembly of the reactor.
-
Tool‑Free, No‑Twist Cable Fittings — allows removal of the lamp cable without tools and prevents cable twisting damage.
-
High Quality Build Materials — uses hard‑quartz, coated, non‑ozone‑emitting lamps, reducing scaling and maintaining UV transmission.

Applications
-
Medium‑to‑large aquariums requiring reliable UV sterilisation for water clarity, algae control, and pathogen reduction.
-
Outdoor ponds or water‑features where higher water throughput demands robust, chemical‑free UV sterilisation.
-
Recirculating systems, commercial aquaculture, or filtration setups needing a higher‑capacity UV unit.
-
Systems where maintenance convenience, high-quality components, and dependable performance are priorities.
Benefits
-
Superior water clarity & sanitation — the 80 W lamp combined with the optimised flow path helps reduce suspended algae, bacteria, parasites, and other microorganisms.
-
Large-system capacity — supports higher volumes and flow rates, ideal for larger ponds or aquariums.
-
Service-friendly design — unionised plumbing, single-ended access, and tool-free cable fittings make maintenance fast and convenient.
-
Durable and high-quality build — built with premium materials and design expertise for long-term reliable performance.
-
Chemical-free sterilisation — offers effective UV‑C disinfection without chemical additives, safe for aquatic life and plants.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
-
Install the unit after mechanical and biological filtration to ensure the water entering the UV chamber is clear.
-
Maintain the recommended flow rate; excessive flow reduces UV dose and sterilisation efficiency.
-
Replace the UV lamp annually, even if visible brightness seems adequate, as UV output declines over time.
-
Clean the quartz sleeve periodically to remove scaling, biofilm, or debris that may reduce UV transmission.
-
Verify all unions and seals are tight, leak-free, and properly installed before operation.
The XFLO XFL5‑80H‑2 UV Sterilizer provides professional-grade UV-C performance in a high-capacity package, perfect for demanding aquatic systems where clarity, flow, and reliability matter. It’s ideal for larger aquariums or ponds requiring chemical-free UV sterilisation with easy maintenance and durable construction.
