The SMART UV Lite
UV Sterilizers for small Fresh and Saltwater Aquariums from
Emperor Aquatics, Inc.
SMART UV Lite Ultraviolet Sterilizers deliver optimum
protection against harmful aquarium pathogens. Available in
18, 25, 40 & 80 Watt sizes for aquariums no larger than
400 gallons (for larger aquariums see SMART
UV Sterilizers, SMART
HO UV Sterilizers .The best aquarium UV Sterilizer you
can buy!
All aquarium Ultraviolet Sterilizers are not designed equally
and the proof can be seen in our SMART UV Lite models. Sterilizer
size is a good starting point. SMART UV Lites are clearly
larger than other UV brands because we maximize UV exposure
area by positioning our UV lamp/s between the water ports.
This utilizes the UV lamp to its maximum potential. The UV
Lite’s watertight design protects all electrical hardware
from corrosive saltwater damage. Next, our SMART Ballast operates
the UV lamp efficiently while resisting failure from water
damage due to a leaky seal. Lastly, we promise never to over-rate
our UVs performance specifications…SMART UV aquarium
water flow rates represent accurate UV doses required to successfully
irradiate harmful protozoa while matching the model’s
true operating capacity.

Please compare our SMART UV Lite design and information to any aquarium
UV competitor like Aqua Ultraviolet or GAMMA; we encourage the validation
of information. If you want to purchase the best UV Sterilizer for
your aquarium, consider this: Durability and features aside, SMART
UV Lite models are supported by a customer service team that’s
second to none. That level of quality is apparent in the long list
of public aquariums, research facilities and fish hatcheries that
rely on Emperor Aquatics’ UV equipment. You can view the list
for yourself here on the Emperor
Aquatics Company Profile and Client List page.
SMART UV Lite UV Sterilizer features:
SMART UV Lite Body
| *The UV body is constructed of ultraviolet
light resistant heavy-wall plastic. The Sterilizer’s housing
carries a lifetime warranty against Ultraviolet degradation
or manufacturer defects. The SMART UV Lite aquarium models are
designed with a 2” body diameter and are ideal for fresh
or saltwater applications. |
 |
SMART UV Ballast
| The SMART UV Lite’s power supply
is remotely positioned on a 26 foot cord. This new electronic
ballast is SMART enough to supply the UV lamp with the exact
amount of power it needs, no more, no less, and therefore cuts
costs due to efficiency. The SMART UV Ballast’s new technology
also allows it to resist failure due to water damage; unlike
any competing brand. |
 |
Quartz Sleeve and Power Assembly
Design
The quartz sleeve and power assemblies
were designed for quick and easy removal from the UV Sterilizer
body. You can remove the entire assembly
with just a couple twists for or you can easily replace
the UV Lamp without disrupting the water flow by solely removing
the power assembly. The connections are watertight and all seals
last for 12 months. |
 |
UV Lamp of the Highest Quality
SMART UV Lite models
feature a hard quartz glass mercury UV lamp. These low-pressure
lamps offer
9,000 hours of continual operation, or 13 months, until reaching
(80% efficient) their end of useful lamp life. You can find
out why these lamps are considered the highest
quality germicidal lamps available here |
 |
Ultraviolet Safe Viewing Port
| All UV Lite Sterilizers
feature a large viewing port at the non-electrical end. This
port offers safe inspection of the UV lamp to ensure it is operating.
You may also use the clear quartz sleeve retaining module; it
will glow when the lamp is on. |
 |
UV Sterilizers for Indoor or Outdoor use
Emperor Aquatics’ SMART UV Lites are UL and cUL listed for
safe electrical use in potentially wet environments, for example,
next to a filtration sump, under your aquarium cabinet or even hanging
off the back of your tank.

| UV Lite models are available
with three different port styles: 1.5” Unions, Hose Barbs
(these part numbers are shown with a “-B”) and an
open 2” sockets (these part numbers are shown with a “-S”). |
