IceCap In-Sump 40w UV Sterilizer

IceCap In-Sump 40w UV Sterilizer — Internal Assembly (IC-UVR-40INT)

The IceCap In-Sump 40W UV Sterilizer (SKU: IC-UVR-40INT) is an authentic, completely integrated water purification system distributed by CoralVue to promote elite biosecurity and crystal-clear water conditions in large freshwater setups up to 3,000 gallons and marine reef systems up to 400 gallons. Standard traditional UV sterilizers require complex external plumbing paths, requiring users to cut vinyl lines, secure hose clamps, and find space under the cabinet to hard-mount bulky plastic canisters that run a constant risk of leaking. The IceCap In-Sump series completely rewrites this framework by moving the entire vessel directly inside your existing filtration sump footprint. If a seal ever experiences a slow leak, the water falls harmlessly back into your filtration basin, offering absolute peace of mind against room floods.

This complete kit arrives with an energy-efficient IceCap EVO 2000 Feed Pump, matched precisely to handle the internal fluid dynamics of the 40-watt radiation chamber. As the pump forces an optimized stream of water past the high-output UVC lamp, the radiation instantly targets free-floating pathogens and single-celled algae cells. This targeted process shatters the internal cellular bonds of green hair algae spores and infectious microscopic parasites before they can settle onto your fish or rocks. Because it only acts on organisms suspended in the water moving through the unit, it will never disrupt or degrade the beneficial nitrifying bacterial colonies growing securely on your stationary bio-media, sand bed, or liverock.
