Aqua Ultraviolet UV System for Savio SkimmerFilters
Aqua Ultraviolet UV System for Savio SkimmerFilters
The Aqua Ultraviolet UV System for Savio SkimmerFilters is the factory-correct retrofit kit for adding Aqua UV sterilization to a Savio SkimmerFilter. The kit drops into the existing skimmer housing — no separate inline UV chamber, no additional plumbing, no pump upgrades. Available in 15 W (Compact Savio), 25 W, and 57 W (Standard Savio) configurations to match your skimmer model. Once installed, the Savio Skimmer becomes a combined skim + UV-clarification system in a single piece of equipment.

Flow Rate (GPH) by Wattage
Savio Skimmer UV uses the same Classic chamber + lamp at 15/25/57W.
| Wattage | Max GPH (Clarification, ~30,000 µW/cm²) — green-water control | Min GPH (Sterilization, ~90,000 µW/cm²) — parasite + bacteria kill |
|---|---|---|
| 15 W (Savio retrofit) | 700 GPH | 233 GPH |
| 25 W (Savio retrofit) | 1,200 GPH | 400 GPH |
| 57 W (Savio retrofit) | 3,200 GPH | 1,066 GPH |
Sizing rule: divide your filtered circulation rate (GPH) by the column you need. Pick a unit whose Max GPH ≥ your circulation rate to achieve clarification dose; pick a unit whose Min GPH ≥ your circulation rate to achieve full sterilization dose at that flow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this retrofit my existing Savio?
Yes — the kit is sized to drop into the existing Savio skimmer housing. Compact Savio uses the 15 W; Standard Savio uses 25 W or 57 W depending on pond load.
Can I use the Skimmer UV transformer for my Classic UV unit?
No — Skimmer UV uses a different transformer family. Replacement transformers are specific to the Skimmer UV system.
