Product information

Crystal-clear and healthy water
Poor light conditions, over-fertilisation or even a surplus of nutrients can have negative effects on the aquarium water and may promote algae growth. Floating algae lead to green, bacteria to white clouding. The JBL water clarifier eliminates cloudiness caused by bacteria and floating algae. The aquarium water passes through the sturdy UV-resistant casing of the clarifier. The reflection of the UV radiation kills off bacteria, other germs and floating algae as the water passes through. This can also help to eliminate persistent algae, such as thread algae, since their spores are also mostly killed off.

No harmful side effects No change of the water values/no negative influence on the essential cleansing bacteria in the filter.

Easy to install
Connect the water clarifier to the external filter. Thanks to the 90° elbow included in the pack any installation position is possible.

Safety
The JBL UV-C Water Clarifier is TÜV tested and has a safety switch for an automatic switch off when the device is opened. The casing is UV-resistant and has sturdy walls.

Technical Data

FAQ
When is the permanent use of a UV-C device recommended?

With problems concerning bacterial infections of animals, we recommend the permanent use of JBL PROCRISTAL UV-C Compact plus, or similar. This is the only way to achieve an effective reduction of the germ load in the water. If no cases of illness are present, the operation can be limited to 12 h per day.

Why is combatting cloudiness less effective than partial sterilisation?

A partial sterilisation (against bacteria) is more effective than eliminating clouding caused by floating algae. Why? Because the cell structure of bacteria is quite simple. That’s why it is easier to destroy the cells of bacteria than those of algae.

Should the UV-C water clarifier continue to run when medications are in use?

When using medications you should definitely switch off the UV-C water clarifier.

Can, for example, a 5 W UV-C unit be equipped with an 18 W bulb?

No, unfortunately this is not possible. However, it is possible to connect a second JBL PROCRISTAL UV-C Compact plus unit to a 5 W unit via the JBL PROCRISTAL UV-C QuickConnect.

How can I extend the performance of the JBL ProCristal UV-C devices?

With the JBL PROCRISTAL UV-C QuickConnect you can join all PROCRISTAL UV-C devices together. It doesn't matter whether they have the same performance.
