Homemade ultraviolet sterilizer for aquarium with their own hands (photo, master class, step by step)
For the manufacture of such a device you It will take:
- 1. Pipe plastic under the solder with a diameter of 3/4 inches
- 2. Two "American women" under the soldering with internal threads for 3/4 inches
- 3. Two silicone or rubber gaskets for 3/4 inches
- 4. Luminescent ultraviolet lamp with base T5
- 5. Two Snutsra
We carry out the existing pipe and hand-hacking on the metal cut off a piece of a long equal length of the lamp minus two lengths of the American without a thread. In my case it is 30-2 * 3.2 = 23.6 cm. The main thing is to cut off strictly at 90 degrees, to ensure tightness.
After that, we cut the threads of both sides on a 3/4-inch radiator.
On the distance 1-2 cm from the thread drills the hole in the pipe under the nozzle. I had no fittings with M6 threads, so the holes I drown the drill with a diameter of 5 mm. In these holes, we screw the fittings (cutting the thread by the sword is not necessary, because in the plastic the fitting and it myself coped with it)
Next, we screw on the pipe American in a disassembled form:
Pipe I pre-painted an aerosol.
We wear silicone gasket on the lamp.
She lashes with a little tension, which provides tightness.
And insert the lamp into the pipe with accepted American.
Next, we wear the second gasket on the other hand and collect American.
After that, screw in the fitting (here the main thing that the length of the thread on the fitting was equal to the thickness of the pipe wall. If the thread on the fitting is longer, then you can crush the lamp). I screwed up the addition nuts to the fittings, it is also possible to remove excess threads with piles or just cut off.
To connect the lamp, I used this electronic Balante:
At the fitting wearing silicone tubes of the required length and diameter. We connect one of them to the filter in the aquarium, and the second simply omit in the aquarium. Turn on the filter, then turn on the storm lamp.
