Titan 275 Uv steriliser, Photocatalytically Enhanced Aquarium UV Steriliser. The Vecton Titan UV has been produced using specially selected photocatalytic material. The photocatalytic reaction provides a safer alternative to ozone for even cleaner water. Thanks to this Titan UV technology, the Vecton Titan UV is 1.3 times more effective than a standard UV steriliser, making it more energy efficient. The photocatalytic lining also protects and further improves the lifespan of the high UV resistant plastic body. As with the rest of the award winning Vecton UV range; the Vecton Titan UV is designed with opposing inlet and outlet and comes with four stage hosetails for flexible hose from ½” to 1¼” for easy installation and connection to the water supply. These are held in place with screw on collars for easy removal when servicing and maintaining unit. There is a UV shield to prevent direct viewing of the UV lamp and the body is manufactured using impact resistant, translucent polycarbonate. Also included is an elbow connection, instruction manual, and a 3-year guarantee. The UV sterilisation process will only target the microorganisms floating in the water, so the good bacteria needed for processing ammonia remain healthy in your filter system, rock and substrate. UV technology used in fresh water or marine aquaria disrupts algae growth and kills bacteria and other pathogens that would otherwise cause disease in your aquarium inhabitants. This also allows much better light penetration, to the advantage of all animals in the aquarium. In addition to the health benefit of standard UV steriliser, the photocatalytic reaction in the Vecton Titan 850 UV steriliser assures cleaner, more transparent water. Commonly needed spares. The UV comes with one elbow but some people find they need two depending on their cabinet space. You can grab an extra elbow from us here. The white ones supplied with the Vectons will fit as well. Brand new elbows are prone to leaking so we modify all the elbows (including the one that arrives in the box, as standard) to prevent leaks. Changing bulbs and quartz sleeves every six months is recommended. Some people prefer to isolate the UV using double taps to make changing the bulb a bit easier. https://www.abyssaquatics.co.uk/?s=double tap&post_type=product Sometimes wear and tear, or editing the set up, can mean picking up hosetails is necessary. Here are some examples, make sure you have the right size for the pipework. TMC UV Hosetail x1 TMC Titan UV Hosetail Black X1 It is always handy having a couple of spare Orings and seals.
