What pump for uv sterilizer

[thedasher]

Hey guys I got a 9w uv sterilizer and was wondering what pump I should be putting on it. I heard the pump should be small so that the water moves through the sterilizer slowly to kill off the bacteria and algae. What pump do you guys recommend.
Thanks

A pump rated between 100-200gph. The slower it runs the more it can sterilize.

Would a 50 gph pump be too small?

U/V manufacturers publish recommended ratings for their specific units. Google the manufacturer, find the model and voila!

I had a 9w that came with a pump and actually I think it was about 50gph. So yeah I think that would work perfect.
