Description
Lifegard Pro-MAX 55W High Output Amalgam Germicidal UV Steriliser
The Lifegard Pro-MAX 55W is a professional-grade UV sterilisation system designed to dramatically improve water clarity and reduce harmful microorganisms in freshwater, marine, reef, pond, and aquaculture systems. Whether you are running a large display aquarium, a koi pond, or a commercial aquaculture system, the Pro-MAX 55W delivers the kind of serious UV-C sterilisation performance that professionals demand.
Featuring advanced amalgam UV technology, this high-output steriliser delivers powerful UV-C performance with extended lamp life of up to 9,000 hours and enhanced sterilisation efficiency compared to standard UV units — amalgam lamps maintain their UV-C output across a wider temperature range and degrade more slowly than standard low-pressure UV lamps.
The patent-pending flow-through design incorporates angled inlet and outlet ports that reduce plumbing restrictions and make installation easier than ever — suitable for both new filtration builds and retrofitting into existing systems. The included UL-listed ballast features a built-in countdown timer that indicates exactly when lamp replacement is required.
