Key features of the JBL ProCristal UV-C Compact Plus 5W

• Clears green and whitish cloudiness
• For aquariums and ponds
• Connects to filter or pump
• UV-C power: 5W

Tank size and installation

JBL rates the 5W model for partial sterilisation in aquariums up to 300 litres and for clearing floating algae in tanks up to 100 litres, in both cases with a pump flow of no more than 300 litres per hour, so larger systems need the 11, 18 or 36W versions. It is fitted into the hose of an external filter or pump, takes 12 to 19mm hoses, needs at least 32cm of installation length, and comes with a wall mount and 2m cable. A safety switch turns the bulb off when the housing is opened, and the replacement bulb uses a G23 socket.

Good to know

Switch the UV-C off when using medication or bacterial starters, and replace the bulb about once a year.
