4 W / 120 / 75
8 W / 180 / 150
15 W / 450 / 300
30 W / 750 / 500

This is going to depend on your setup.
I dunno, i bet tank size has a ton to do with it.
These are what, 1/2" ID?
Do the flow calcs and figure out exposure time.
But considering that each of those has said exposure occuring slightly more often than once per hour (flowrate is some higher than tank size) and we are tlaking a watercooling system with less than 1 gallow total (most systems out there), then for even the 4W system, we are talkiing about 75 times the overall exposure time for each "bit" of water. Thats gotta mean something in terms of sterilization.
