Why is there such a big difference in terms of "declared performance" between AquaUV and Lifegard?
- Lifegard ProMax 90W has a declared flow of 2800gph for treating Algae & Bacteria (UVC 30,000 μW/cm2)
- AquaUV Classic 40 Watt has a declared flow of 2900gph for treating Algae & Bacteria (UVC 30,000 μW/cm2)
Now, how can a unit that's half the size do the same job? Is someone "cheating" on numbers? Is someone using a better lamp/quartz sleeve? (I know there is some differences in the kind of those, but not sure it justify doubling the performance)..
What are your thoughts?
