Site Map     Emperor Aquatics, Inc. vs Aqua Ultraviolet            EA Deliver Optimal UV Performance! A.   Q.S. (Quartz Sleeve) / UV Lamp Assembly  EA SMART UV Sterilizer offers a Q.S. Assembly that allows easy removal of the quartz sleeve and lamp from the UV body; together or individually.                 Aqua Ultraviolet offers a Q.S. Assembly that allows easy removal of                 the quartz sleeve and lamp from the UV body; together or individually.  B.   Inlet / Outlets with Unions    EA SMART UV Sterilizer offers Inlet / Outlets with Unions                 Aqua Ultraviolet offers Inlet / Outlets with Unions  C.   UV Exposure Chamber EA SMART UV Sterilizer positions the lamp between the inlet / outlet ports and inside a 3'' diameter UV exposure chamber. The result; maximum utilization of the lamp's arc length and UV-C light.             Aqua Ultraviolet offers poor UV exposure design, wasting valuable UV-C light             by allowing significant portions of the lamp's arc length to extend beyond the             inlet / outlet ports.  D.   Power Supply Each SMART UV power supply is precisely matched to the lamp's input requirement, resulting in optimal UV-C output and lamp life.              Aqua Ultraviolet: ? E.   Q.S. (Quartz Sleeve) Wiper EA SMART UV Sterilizers offer an "All-In-One" Q.S. / UV Lamp - Wiper Assembly that allows for complete and easy service of all internal parts.                            Aqua Ultraviolet positions its Q.S. wiper assembly through the non-electrical              end of the UV body, making quartz sleeve and seal repair difficult.  F.   T5 Hard Quartz UV Lamp Both Emperor Aquatics, Inc. and Aqua Ultraviolet use T5 "Hard Quartz Glass" Germicidal lamps, purchased from the same UV lamp manufacturers.                            T5 “Hard Quartz Glass” Lamps offer 9,000 hours of continual operation until              reaching 60% efficient .                  However, Aqua Ultraviolet uses low-grade “ozone emitting” UV lamps that                  produce a “chalky” white residue. This nitrogen byproduct coats the UV                  lamp and absorbs valuable UV-C light resulting in poor UV transmittance                  All EA lamps feature a protective glass coating (L-Glass) that prevents                  ozone emission.
