Thank you for purchasing the proactive solution to eradicating harmful mi-

cro-organisms and unattractive green free-floating algae in fresh & saltwater 

aquariums. This revolutionary UV sterilizer/clarifier is completely submersible, 

which can be placed either in the main body of the aquarium or positioned 

horizontally in a sump for a clutter free set-up. 

 

The Submariner utilizes a UV-C compact fluorescent lamp that is encapsu-

lated in our unique Quartz Sleeve that is air tight and allows for a 99% trans-

mission rate to efficiently neutralize disease causing pathogens. All models 

include an integrated pump with an adjustable swivel spot and large me-

chanical pre-filter sponge for an instant set up right out of the box. 

Innovative Algae & Disease Control 

 

Intelligent Design 

CAUTION: 

Never look directly at the UV-C Lamp, ultraviolet radiation can be 

harmful. Always unplug before making adjustments.
