IceCap 27W High Output External Inline UV Sterilizer (SKU: IC-HOUV-27W)
The IceCap 27W High Output External Inline UV Sterilizer (SKU: IC-HOUV-27W) is an authentic, commercial-grade water management system distributed by CoralVue to promote uncompromised biosecurity and crystal-clear water profiles. Unlike typical low-wattage consumer clarifiers that merely mask green water, the IceCap High Output system leverages a high-density mercury-vapor arc tube to flood the internal contact channel with an aggressive UVC energy payload (75 μW/cm2). As water-borne dinoflagellates, cloudy bacterial blooms, and free-swimming Cryptocaryon irritans (marine ich) tomonts pass tightly against the internal quartz sleeve matrix, the exposure instantly neutralizes their ability to reproduce, breaking infection tracking cycles in closed aquatic loops.
Plumbed directly out-of-sump, the IC-HOUV-27W handles heavy flow rates up to 1,500 GPH for freshwater clarifiers and 600 GPH for critical marine parasite mitigation loops. The opaque, UV-shielded resin body protects your vision and surrounding equipment from radiation degradation while improving your system's overall Oxidation-Reduction Potential (Redox). Whether attached to a dedicated canister loop, bypass manifold, or main return run, this high-performance sterilizer ensures a clean, stable, and disease-resistant habitat without shifting structural pH lines or introducing chemical residues.
Key Features
Halts Nuisance Algae & Parasite Outbreaks: Provides a continuous line of defense against free-floating parasites and cloudy water without stripping vitamins.
Zero Impact on Biological Media: Safely decontaminates the open water column while leaving your sand, rock, and media-bound beneficial bacteria colonies perfectly unhindered.
Heavy-Duty Electronic Ballast Logic: Driven by a steady 800mA power harness configured to supply uniform current streams, maximizing the lamp's 10,000-hour useful lifespan.
(Note: This retail SKU contains (1) complete operational inline system, including the body vessel, 27W bulb, quartz sleeve, electronic ballast, mounting clips, and stepped hose barbs. Feed pumps and PVC solvent glues are sold under separate product categories).
