The Fluval FX UVC 6-Watt Clarifier (Model A199) is an aquarium accessory designed to help keep your aquarium water clear by eliminating suspended algae. Here are some key features and details about this product:

Functionality: The FX UVC In-Line Clarifier connects to canister filters and effectively removes suspended algae in the water column, resulting in a crystal-clear aquarium.

Compatibility: It is compatible with Fluval FX Series filters as well as other competitive canister filters that have hose sizes ranging from 1″ to 5/8″ (25 to 16 mm). Hose adapters are included to facilitate easy connections. Can be used with the FX 2 / 4 / 6 & Fluval 107, 207, 307 & 407.

CCFL Bulb Technology: This clarifier uses unique CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) bulb technology that operates at a cooler temperature compared to traditional lamps. This technology increases the bulb’s lifespan, allowing it to last up to 2X longer, which is approximately 20,000 hours or over 2 years of continuous use. It also helps prevent calcium build-up on the quartz lens, eliminating the need for maintenance.

Energy-Efficient: The clarifier operates at 6 watts, making it energy-efficient while still providing powerful water clarification. This can help lower your energy costs.

Chemical-Free: The clarifier utilizes a chemical-free process that doesn’t harm the beneficial bacteria in your aquarium’s filter. It specifically targets algae by emitting light at a precise wavelength of 253 nanometers, which destroys the DNA of algae cells.

Replaceable Bulb: The bulb in the unit is replaceable (bulb part number #A19990), and it is available separately.

Status Indicator Light: The clarifier features a status indicator light that provides information about its operational status.

IP44 Certification: The unit is IP44 certified, which means it is splash-proof and safeguarded against water ingress.

Easy Installation: Setting up the FX UVC Clarifier is fast and easy. It offers flexible mounting options, allowing you to connect it directly to the FX filter’s output valve or mount it horizontally or vertically on the cabinet wall. A universal mounting bracket and screws are included for installation.

Multi-Directional Operation: The unit can work in either water flow direction, eliminating the need to change your existing filter setup.

Made in Italy: The product is manufactured in Italy.
