OZONE AND UV-C REACTOR THE NEXT STEP IN WATER PURIFICATION
Ozone and UV-C light react together to create an Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP), helping break down unwanted substances in water.
Aquacam combines UV-C light and ozone to help break down unwanted substances in water. Designed for marine aquariums, with custom solutions for other applications.
Aquacam combines UV-C light and ozone to create an Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP). The result: Advanced water treatment that helps break down unwanted substances and improve water clarity.
Designed for better ozone-water contact
Aquacam's specially designed spiral flow keeps water moving in a circular path through the system, helping ozone mix with the water and increasing contact time during treatment.
Beyond aquariums — water treatment for many applications
Aquacam AOP systems combine UV-C light and ozone to help break down unwanted substances in circulating water.
Originally developed with marine aquariums in mind, the technology may also be suitable for a range of closed-loop water systems, including:
Jacuzzis and spa systems
Industrial cooling and recirculating water systems
Machine-cooling systems
Water-circulation systems requiring additional treatment
Specialised water-treatment applications
With UV-C light, ozone and specially designed spiral flow, Aquacam offers a different approach to treating circulating water.

OUR SYSTEMS
Find the right system for your application
Model suitability depends on water quality, flow, plumbing and treatment objective—not lamp wattage alone.
Aquacam 15 W
Designed for nano and small fish tanks, the Aquacam 15 W combines UV-C light and ozone for advanced water treatment. Its 316 stainless-steel body offers good corrosion resistance in saltwater environments, while clear polycarbonate end caps let you see the UV-C lamp glowing from a distance.
Designed for marine aquariums, the Aquacam 25 W combines UV-C light and ozone in a compact system. Its fully transparent polycarbonate body lets you see the UV-C lamp glowing from a distance. The venturi draws ozone into the water, while the specially designed flow path promotes spiral flow and ozone-water contact.
Designed for larger marine aquariums and other suitable circulating water systems, the Aquacam 55 W combines UV-C light and ozone for advanced water treatment. Its 316 stainless-steel body offers good corrosion resistance in saltwater environments. Clear polycarbonate end caps let you see the UV-C lamp glowing from a distance, while the specially designed spiral flow promotes ozone-water contact.

HOW IT WORKS
A simple explanation of AOP
1. Water enters
A pump moves water through the venturi inlet, which draws ozone into the water stream.
2. UV-C and ozone interact
UV-C light reacts with ozone in the water, producing highly reactive hydroxyl radicals. These powerful reactive substances help break down unwanted contaminants, offering an advanced water-treatment process without the need to add chlorine.
3. Oxidation takes place
These species can help break down certain dissolved contaminants and organic compounds. Results depend on water chemistry and operating conditions.
4. Treated water returns
Water exits the reactor and returns to the connected system. Correct installation and maintenance are essential.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Installation and safety
Aquacam AOP systems combine water flow, UV-C light and ozone. Correct installation and regular maintenance are important for safe, reliable operation.
Installation
Install the system in accordance with the model-specific instructions.
Check that water connections and fittings are secure and leak-free before operation.
Use suitable tubing, pumps and fittings for the application.
Ensure the system has the required water flow before switching it on.
UV-C safety
UV-C light can injure eyes and skin.
Never look directly at an exposed operating UV-C lamp.
Keep the lamp properly enclosed and switch off and isolate power before servicing.
Ozone safety and maintenance
Ozone can be harmful if inhaled. Operate the system with appropriate ventilation and safeguards.
Check tubing, connections and seals regularly.
Inspect and replace UV-C lamps and quartz sleeves in accordance with the maintenance guidance for the system.
Aquacam systems must be selected and installed for the intended application. Drinking-water suitability and treatment performance must be established through appropriate engineering assessment and testing.
