Operating Principle; Special Features - Aqua Medic Helix Max Serie Manual De Instrucciones

1. Operating principle

The UV sterilizer Helix Max clears the water with the help of ultraviolet radiation. This radiation is emit-
ted by a special lamp. The UV-C radiation kills all forms of life that are directly exposed to the radia-
tion - microalgae, bacteria, protozoa and other parasites. The result is cristal clear water and healthy
fish.

2. Special features

Spiral water flow: The unique spiral water flow and the big volume of the Helix Max units ensure an
optimum water clarification. The water is directed in a spiral way around the quartz tube with a long
contact time. Due to this, the UV-radiation is used with maximum efficiency.
Rotable connections: The inlet and outlet connections of the Helix Max can be rotated for 360°. This
saves space and fascilitates the installation.
3. Sizes/technical data
Helix Max sterilizers are produced in 6 sizes:
5 watts, 9 watts, 11 watts with 2 m cable for fresh and saltwater aquariums.
18 watts, 36 watts and 55 watts, with 10 m rubber cable and electronic ballast for garden ponds and
for fresh and saltwater aquariums. With electronic ballasts for longer life time of the bulbs and also a
higher UV output.
For the different applications, we recommend different aquarium/pond sizes and flow rates. In garden
ponds, the recommended flow rates will not result in a sterilization, but the water is clarified by killing
the microalgae.
