Description

XFLO XFL6‑240ML‑2 UV Sterilizer | 240 W Multi‑Lamp Ultraviolet Reactor • 6″ Diameter Chamber • High‑Capacity Aquarium & Pond‑Grade

The XFLO XFL6‑240ML‑2 is a high‑output, dual‑lamp UV‑C steriliser designed for large aquariums, ponds, recirculating systems and demanding water‑feature installations. With 240 watts of UV‐C power (2 × 120 W lamps) within a robust 6″ diameter reactor, this model offers significant flow capacity and high microbial control—perfect when you require both clarity and volume. It retains XFLO’s signature “L‑shaped” flow path, unionized plumbing and easy access for maintenance, combining professional performance with user‑friendly service.

Key Features

  • Dual‑lamp 240 W UV‑C system (2 × 120 W lamps) — suited to large water volumes or high‑turnover systems.

  • Optimised “L‑shaped” flow path — enhances hydraulic mixing, minimising dead zones and maximising UV exposure.

  • Large diameter 6″ reactor body — accommodates high flow while maintaining effective exposure time.

  • Unionised water ports — easy plumbing installation and servicing with standard union fittings.

  • Single‐ended lamp and quartz sleeve access — simplifies lamp or sleeve replacement/cleaning without disassembling the full front end.

  • No‑twist, tool‑free lamp cable fittings — reduces risk of cable damage during maintenance.

  • Premium components — UV lamps made from hard quartz, non‑ozone emitting, and chamber materials designed for long‑term reliability.

Applications

  • Large aquariums requiring strong UV sterilisation for algae, pathogens or high clarity demands.

  • Pond systems and water features with significant volume and high flow requirements.

  • Commercial aquaculture or recirculating filtration systems where large water throughput and microbial control are essential.

  • Systems where maintenance convenience, high reliability and large capacity performance are key considerations.

Benefits

  • Exceptional clarity & sanitation — The 240 W dual‑lamp configuration paired with the optimised flow path delivers high UV dose and efficient treatment of large volumes.

  • High‑volume capacity — Suited for large systems, high‑flow applications or where multiple turnovers are needed per hour.

  • Service‑friendly design — Unionised plumbing, dual‑lamp access and tool‑free cable fittings make maintenance faster and easier.

  • Built for durability — Premium lamps and robust construction provide long‑term value.

  • Chemical‑free sterilisation — Offers UV‑C disinfection without additional chemicals, making it ideal for sensitive aquatic life or plant systems.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

  • Install the unit after mechanical/biological filtration so the water entering the UV chamber is as clear as possible—maximising UV effectiveness.

  • Ensure flow rates through the reactor stay within the recommended range; too high a flow may reduce contact time and lower sterilisation efficiency.

  • Replace UV lamps annually (or as per manufacturer hours) even if visible light output seems fine—UV output degrades over time.

  • Clean the quartz sleeve periodically to remove scaling, biofilm or mineral build‑up which can impede UV transmission.

  • Verify all union connections and seals are tight before operation; check for leaks or wear at each service interval.

The XFLO XFL6‑240ML‑2 UV Sterilizer is a top‑tier solution for high‑demand aquatic systems where maximum UV‑C performance, high flow capacity and ease of servicing are required. If you’re specifying a system for large aquariums, substantial ponds or commercial installations—and want powerful, chemical‑free sterilisation backed by professional design—this model delivers outstanding capability and long‑term value.
