Hello all,
Does anyone run one Either of these or has run one of these on they’re tanks? If so could you please advise as I want to setup but can’t seem to find out much information on the particular units I have and want to run it on lowest setting possible. Looking for pump flow rate etc as I want to run separately on its own pump etc! Any if all feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Stay safe and god bless us all from this dumb cov19.

With Best Regards.
 
I'm not sure about the Jabae UV systems for flow rates. Their website should list the flow rates for the different pathogens/algae you want to control. I run an Aqua UV 57w at around 400gph which is way less than is recommended by the manufacturer. But, I'm attempting to keep dinos in control in my DT, so that's the reason for running slower. I'm using a Maxijet 1200 pump.

Many pull from the sump and return back into the sump with their UV systems. I actually pull from the DT and return it back to the DT for dino control.

Yes i've seen the videos on this and trying to pinpoint the two i mentioned and in general as the wattage and specs on the different makers is totally different regardless of teh wattage. That's the confusing part...
