Description
The Aquatop SP13-UV is the heavy-duty powerhouse of the SP-UV internal filter series. Designed for larger aquariums, this all-in-one unit combines mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration with high-intensity 13-watt UV sterilization. It is a professional-grade solution for eradicating “green water” algae blooms and controlling harmful pathogens and parasites without the need for complex external plumbing or bulky canister filters. Key Features High-Intensity UV-C Sterilization: Features a powerful 13W germicidal UV bulb protected by a premium quartz sleeve to neutralize free-floating microorganisms and parasites. Powerful & Adjustable Flow: The top-mounted pump delivers a robust 395 GPH maximum flow rate, which can be dialed down to 132 GPH to suit your specific tank requirements. Dual-Stage Filtration: Includes two large replaceable carbon filter cartridges that provide mechanical and chemical filtration, removing organic waste and odors before the water is sterilized. Independent Power Control: Equipped with separate power cords for the pump and the UV system, allowing you to run the filter continuously while toggling the UV light as needed. Plug-and-Play Installation: Fully submersible and designed to be placed directly in the main tank or a large sump, requiring no extra hoses or pipes. Technical Specifications Max Flow Rate: 395 Gallons Per Hour (Adjustable) UV Bulb Wattage: 13 Watts Pump Wattage: 27 Watts Recommended Tank Size: Up to 125 Gallons Dimensions: 3.5″ (L) x 3″ (D) x 13″ (H) Environment: Safe for both Freshwater and Saltwater Why Choose the SP13-UV? For owners of tanks up to 125 gallons, the SP13-UV provides the necessary flow and UV wattage to maintain a biologically safe environment. The 13W bulb offers a significantly higher “kill rate” for persistent issues like Ich or severe algae blooms compared to smaller internal units. It is especially effective for high-bioload systems where water clarity and pathogen control are top priorities.
