Plumbing your UV Sterilizer

Plumbing to and from the UV Sterilizer is completely up to you. The most common practice is to have the UV spliced into your filtration's return line with a return pump or a canister filter. If using the included barbed fitting, you must glue them to the PVC Adapter (also included). PVC plumbing can be achieved using standard 2 inch PVC found at any local hardware store. The size in and out can be reduced to the desired size to accommodate your system's plumbing. Use a bypass assembly for greater water flow control and ease of service.
