Smart UV Flow Rate Comparison

Two Decades of providing RELIABLE UV Treatment.

Competing UV Sterilizer Manufacturers and their dealers cannot justify their flow rates. Why? Because they grossly overrate their UV equipment! Overrated UVs will not deliver the required UV dose and will result in a disappointed customer.

The Emperor Aquatics, Inc. SMART UV difference is INTEGRITY. Compare our lower SMART UV flow rates to any competitor's flow rates. Call them, question their numbers and request a copy of the calculations that support their claims. You'll most likely find that they offer little technical assistance.

Below is a UV Flow-Rate Comparison between our 25 Watt SMART UV and the competing UV brands. This comparison uses the established "Waterborne Algae" UV Dose Rate (22,000 µWs/cm²) as a benchmark. The comparison graph shows the actual UV dose achieved based on the manufacturers' recommended flow rates.
