Ultraviolet (UV) Sterilizer

Definition: A UV sterilizer uses ultraviolet light to kill or neutralize microorganisms, parasites, and algae in the water, contributing to water clarity and quality.

Function in the Aquarium: UV sterilizers help control the spread of harmful microorganisms in the aquarium. By exposing water to UV light, these devices reduce the risk of diseases and improve water clarity by eliminating suspended algae. UV sterilization is often employed as a preventative measure or during disease outbreaks.
