{"product_id":"aquamedic-helimax-20","title":"Aqua Medic Helix Max 2.0 UV Steriliser Fish Tank Aquarium","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Helix Max 2.0 UV Steriliser range is designed to improve water clarity and hygiene in freshwater and saltwater aquariums of varying sizes. Available in 5W, 9W, 11W, 18W and 36W versions, the range offers effective control of single-cell algae, helping to achieve crystal clear water while also reducing bacteria and water-borne parasites that can increase the risk of fish infections.\u003c\/p\u003e\r  \u003cp\u003eEach model uses controlled water flow and a large internal volume to maximise UV exposure. Water is directed along a spiral path around the quartz tube, allowing more efficient use of UV radiation compared to standard straight-flow UV sterilisers. This design improves overall performance while maintaining energy-efficient operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\r  \u003cp\u003eInstallation is flexible and practical thanks to a 360° rotatable inlet fitting, allowing the unit to be mounted at almost any angle and supporting space-saving installations inside aquarium cabinets. Maintenance is simple, with easy disassembly providing access to the inner spiral for routine cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\r  \u003cp\u003eAll Helix Max 2.0 units are equipped with high-frequency electronic ballasts suitable for both freshwater and saltwater use. These electronic ballasts help extend UV lamp lifespan and maintain consistent operating performance. An integrated viewing window allows simple and safe visual function checks, and hose nozzles are supplied for straightforward hose connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\r  \u003ch2\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\r \u003cul\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eSuitable for freshwater and saltwater aquariums\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eHelps eliminate single-cell algae for clearer water\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eReduces bacteria and water-borne parasites\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eSpiral water flow for improved UV radiation efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003e360° rotatable inlet fitting for flexible, space-saving installation\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eIntegrated viewing window for safe function control\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eHigh-frequency electronic ballast for improved lamp lifespan\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eSupplied with hose nozzles for easy connection\u003c\/li\u003e\r \u003c\/ul\u003e\r  \u003cp\u003eThe Helix Max 2.0 range provides a reliable UV solution for aquariums from small setups to large systems up to 2,000 litres, allowing aquarists to select the appropriate wattage to match their aquarium size and flow requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\r  \u003ch2\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h2\u003e\r \u003cul\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eAvailable wattages: 5 W, 9 W, 11 W, 18 W, 36 W\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eFreshwater aquarium capacity: up to 250–2,000 litres (model dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eSaltwater aquarium capacity: up to 125–1,000 litres (model dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eRecommended flow rate: 100–1,500 l\/h (model dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eUV output: 1.1–12 W UVC (model dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eLamp types: PL-S \/ PL-L (model dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eMaximum pressure: 0.4 bar\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eMaximum water column: 2 m\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003ePower connection: 220–240 V \/ 50–60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eCable length: 3.5 m\u003c\/li\u003e\r   \u003cli\u003eHousing dimensions: approx. 370–540 mm length x 90–110 mm diameter (model dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\r \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Aquamedic","offers":[{"title":"36W","offer_id":49308956852378,"sku":"1034318","price":254.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"9W","offer_id":49308956885146,"sku":"1034315","price":120.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"11W","offer_id":49308956917914,"sku":"1034316","price":130.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"18W","offer_id":49308956950682,"sku":"1034317","price":194.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5W","offer_id":49308956983450,"sku":"1034314","price":102.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/9568\/9626\/files\/kw02hrevd0l.jpg?v=1790156832","url":"https:\/\/coretarps.co.uk\/products\/aquamedic-helimax-20","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
