Applications
-
Large-scale aquariums requiring robust UV sterilisation for clarity, algae control or pathogen reduction.
-
High-flow ponds and water-feature systems where chemical-free sterilisation and maximum throughput are needed.
-
Aquaculture or commercial filtration environments with large volume and high turnover demands.
-
Any system where maintenance ease, high quality and long-term reliability are critical.
Benefits
-
Superior water clarity & sanitation – Combines high wattage and optimised flow to reduce algae, bacteria, parasites and other microorganisms.
-
Large-system capacity – With 150 W lamp and high flow rating, this model supports some of the largest hobby or commercial settings.
-
Service-friendly design – Unionised ports, single-ended access and tool-free cable fittings make maintenance quick and efficient.
-
Durable & high quality – Built with premium materials and professional-grade construction for long service life.
-
Chemical-free sterilisation – Provides effective UV-C disinfection without adding chemicals—ideal for sensitive aquatic environments.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
-
Install the unit after mechanical and biological filtration, so water entering the steriliser is clear and free of debris—maximises UV effectiveness.
-
Ensure the flow through the unit remains within recommended limits; excessive flow reduces exposure time and can compromise results.
-
Replace the UV lamp annually (or per manufacturer hours) even if visible brightness seems fine—UV output declines over time.
-
Clean the quartz sleeve periodically to remove scaling or build-up that could reduce UV transmission.
-
Verify union connections and seals are tight and leak-free; test before leaving the system unattended.
The XFLO XFL5-150H-2 UV Sterilizer provides high-end UV-C performance in a large-capacity package—ideal for demanding aquatic systems where clarity, flow and reliability matter. If you’re specifying a system for big-volume aquariums, ponds or commercial setups and want chemical-free sterilisation backed by professional design, this model offers major capability and long-term value.
