Aqua Forte Amalgam Submersible UV 40W

Powerful UV-C disinfection for ponds up to 35,000 litres (7,500 gallons)

The Aqua Forte Amalgam Submersible UV 40W is one of the most powerful and efficient UV-C sterilisation solutions available for pond filtration systems. Designed to combat algae, bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms, this submersible lamp delivers consistent and high-intensity UV-C radiation at 253.7nm, ensuring maximum water clarity and safety for fish and plants.

Unlike standard TL lamps, amalgam technology provides 50–70% greater energy efficiency and a significantly longer lifespan—up to 16,000 hours of continuous use.
