How Does the API Quick Start UV Sterolizer Treat Waste and Other Microorganisms?
The API Quick Start UV is a simple UV sterilization method developed to kill bacteria and other microbial organisms using ultraviolet light. It is meant for use in combination with other sanitizer methods for applications where sanitation is critical. This sanitizer can be added directly to a clean tank to quickly jump-start the chemical filtration process without the use of additional organisms. Since the product is ultraviolet in nature, a thorough cleaning process using standard tap water must be completed before use, otherwise, any contamination present will be passed over the sterilizer during the UV treatment. Other sterilization processes such as carbon dioxide laser, ozone, and UV dye are recommended for use where greater sanitization is desired. The sterilization cycle of the API Quick Start UV begins with the addition of anhydrous sodium phosphate (HSP) to the tank with a pump supply via a pressure washer. The pump supply is designed to provide constant, reliable delivery of...
