Many swimming pool owners are changing to UV due to its advantages over the current, generally chemical based, pool water disinfection methods.
Simple to install-simple to maintain. The popularity of the UV disinfection technique is due to the ease and efficiency in which it treats swimming pool water. A constant rate of water treatment gives a more stable water purity level that is simpler to manage, with reduced chemical input.
A correctly sized UV system can reduce the need for chlorine by up to 60%. A small quantity of chlorine (or bromine) is still required to give an in-pool residual treatment and to maintain clean pool surfaces.
When chloramines and similar compounds are exposed to sufficient UV energy, they are broken down. This reduces the odour and irritation problems that are usually prevalent, leaving cleaner, sweeter-smelling water and giving an enhanced bathing experience.
Plastica’s “Relax” UV sterilisers are able to cater for most sizes and types of pools by matching the correct UV unit to each application.
The re-circulation requirements for the pool determine the capacity of the UV unit, for example, if an average 50 cubic metre pool requires re-circulation every 4 hours, a UV unit with a 13 cubic metres/hour capacity will be necessary, which requires an 80 watt unit.
