FAQs
Does this unit kill beneficial bacteria?
No, the UV sterilizer only targets free-floating algae and pathogens. Beneficial bacteria that live in your filter media and substrate remain unaffected.
Can I use this for a saltwater tank?
Yes, the evo25S is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquarium systems.
How often should I replace the lamp?
The lamp should be replaced every 12 months to ensure it continues to emit the necessary UV-C radiation.
Is the unit submersible?
No, the evo25S is designed for external use only, typically installed on the output of your filter.
Will this remove discoloration from driftwood?
While it excels at clearing algae, it may have limited impact on tannins released by driftwood; chemical filtration like carbon is better suited for that.
Troubleshooting
Water is still green after two weeks
Check your flow rate to ensure it is not exceeding 2000 L/h and verify that the quartz sleeve is clean.
UV lamp is not lighting up
Ensure the power cable is securely connected to the ballast and check if the bulb is seated correctly in the socket.
Leakage at connection points
Verify that all O-rings are seated properly and tighten the hose couplings securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, secure the universal mounting plates to your cabinet wall or sump frame and clip the unit into place. Connect your inlet and outlet lines using the appropriate hose tails for your pipe size. When performing maintenance, always unplug the ballast from the power source first. Every three to six months, remove the quartz sleeve and wipe it down with a soft, vinegar-dampened cloth to remove calcium deposits. Replace the 25-watt UV lamp every 12 months, as the bulb will lose its germicidal effectiveness even if it still emits visible light.
