AquaTop In-Line UV Sterilizer 10W - IL10UV Reviews
| 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful  A Bargain At The Price, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: AquaTop In-Line UV Sterilizer 10W - IL10UV (Misc.) Given that UV sterilizers can cost in the hundreds of dollars depending on their wattage and quality of construction, one would think that a UV sterilizer costing $40 would appear to be of cheap quality an ineffective.However, this conclusion would be incorrect in the case of the AquaTop IL 10UV; a 10 watt ultraviolet sterilizer that can be mounted in your aquarium or plumbed into the output tube of your canister or sump filter. The IL 10UV is not as compact as AquaTop would have one think, given its 15 inch length. Moreover, the barb fitting adaptors included with both the IL 10UV and IL 5UV come in 16mm, 20mm and 24mm sizes; even the smallest of which is too large for canister filters with half inch tubing. I had originally intended to plumb the IL 10UV into the output tube of my Eheim 2213 canister filter, only to find that the Eheim's 1/2" tubing was too small for even the smallest barb fitting (16mm) included with this uv sterilizer...

I have this hooked up to my canister filter in my 55 gallon tank in the output line. Let me clear this up by saying that the sterilizer is pretty dang big. It's around a foot long, so any thoughts that I had of it in my cabinet were dashed. that's not a big problem, though, as I just hooked it up behind the aquarium instead.There aren't going to be any instructions provided. I know, it sounds pretty simple, but they provide so many parts that I was pretty confused for like 15 minutes while I started at the different ways to hook things up. Maybe I'm just stupid, I don't know, but it would have been nice for AquaTop to provide something more than a shallow informational pamphlet that doesn't tell you how to put the product together. Nevertheless, I figured it out, but up until the point where the sterilizer was hooked up to the aquarium plumbing I wasn't sure if it was going to leak or not because I wasn't sure that I put it together right. Thank god I did, or there would...

Straightforward to fit inline, and appears to be good quality construction, but reduced the flow from my Eheim classic to a mere trickle. Switched to using my Magnum 350 filter, and not much better. Finally connected both filters in series and have just about got enough flow. Cleared my bacterial bloom over 3 days, but has caused as many problems as it has solved |
