SMART UV Features Recommended Applications
“Protected" Remote Power Supply
All models feature a remote power supply that is positioned on the cord, watertight and located away from the UV body, protecting them from potential quartz sleeve leaks and water damage. 12, 15, 18, 25 Watt models feature a 26 foot power cord; 40 Watt models and larger feature a 16 foot power cord.
GPH/T5 & GPH/T6 UV lamps
Our long lasting GPH/T5 style UV lamps & GPH/T6 high output UV lamps offer 9,000 hours (13 months) of continual operation until reaching their end of useful life (60% efficient).
Easy to Remove Power Assembly
Allows both the quartz sleeve and UV lamp to be removed together (without quartz sleeve / rubber gasket disassembly), or by removing the assemblies jamb nut, the UV lamp can be replaced without interrupting the flow of water through the unit.
  • SMARTUV Sterilizers are designed to be operated safely, indoors or outdoors.
  • SMARTUV Sterilizer bodies may be submerged providing that all gaskets are in place, while the power supply remains outside of the pond. Due to possible gasket failure, we recommend placing the SMARTUV Sterilizer outside the pond, hidden, using decorative stone, mulch or driftwood.
  • SMARTUV Sterilizers operate equally as well in aquarium applications, their plastic construction resists damaged from saltwater applications.
  • Install and operate SMART UV Sterilizers after Box Surface Skimmers, Bead Filters, Sand Filters and Pre-Filters.
  • Install SMART UV Sterilizers before Box Filters but always after a pump equipped with a Pre-Filter

  SMARTUV Sterilizer, our flagship line of UV Sterilizers feature a 3" diameter body, maximizing UV lamp output efficiency. Each model is constructed of heavy-wall, durable “UV resistant” plastic. The commercial design of our SMARTUVs makes them ideally suited for contractors looking for durability and easy servicing. Standard features include easy-to-remove power assembly, remote power supply and GPH/T5 style long lasting UV lamps (13 month useful lamp life). All models are UL and cUL listed.

“Green Water” Flow Rates
Why are our water flow rates so much lower than each of our competitors? Unlike our competitors who over rate their UVs, our water flow recommendations are based on turbid “green water” conditions that may exist during installation. Maximum flow rate represents the lamp performance at 100%, suggested flow rate represents lamp performance at the end of useful life (60% efficient).


Clear Pond Water Guarantee
Each SMARTUV Sterilizer model is designed to eliminate green pond water within three to five days of installation…GUARANTEED! SMARTUVs are available in several models and all designed for outdoor applications. Only Emperor Aquatics Inc. supplies conservative performance recommendations considering turbid “green water” conditions, ensuring complete customer satisfaction.

Bioforce - The Pressurized Filter System
  • Bioforce is available as a biological filter or combined with biological filter and UVC. With the UVC, clear water is guaranteed if the correct size Bioforce is used.
  • Water movement through the filter adds vital oxygen to your pond.
  • Water pumped in under pressure spins around the filter chamber, the vortex action settling out heavier solids.
  • Open-cell foam media traps dirt particles. It also provides a home for friendly bacteria. These help to keep the water healthy.

Tetra Greenfree Ultraviolet Clarifiers

The ultraviolet clarifier works by exposing single celled algae to very high levels of ultraviolet light as the pond water containing them is pumped through the unit. The ultraviolet radiation not only kills the algae but causes it to clump together. These clumps can then be easily removed by your pond filter, water clarity is dependent upon the pond filter removing the dead algae.
Removes heavy algae blooms in most water gardens within 5 days. Keeps the pond algae free.
