Competing UV Sterilizer Manufacturers and their dealers cannot justify their flow rates. Why? Because they grossly overrate their
UV equipment! Overrated UVs will not deliver the required UV dose and will result in a disappointed customer.
The Emperor Aquatics, Inc. SMART UV difference is INTEGRITY. Compare our lower SMART UV flow rates to any
competitor's flow rates. Call them, question their numbers and request a copy of the calculations that support their
claims. You'll most likely find that they offer little technical assistance.
Below is a UV Flow-Rate Comparison between our 25 Watt SMART UV
and the competing UV brands. This comparison uses the established "Waterborne Algae" UV Dose Rate (22,000 µWs/cm²) as a
benchmark. The comparison graph shows the actual UV dose achieved based on the manufacturers' recommended flow rates.

NOTE:
- The UV Flow Rate establishes the achieved UV Dose. For successful UV Treatment of
Waterborne Algae, the required UV Dose is 22,000 µWs/cm².
- All calculations are based upon actual equipment specifications using the Bolton Photosciences, Inc.
"UV CALC" program, which is recognized by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
