UV disinfection

Is UV disinfection more effective than traditional chlorine?

Yes, UV disinfection is more effective at eliminating chlorine-resistant microorganisms such as protozoa. In addition, it does not leave chemical residues or affect the balance of the water, making it friendlier for swimmers and the environment.

How long should I leave the UV disinfection system running to achieve a clean pool?

The system must run for at least 4 to 6 hours a day to ensure proper disinfection of the water, depending on the size of the pool and the number of users. It is important to adjust the operating time according to the needs of your pool.

Can I use UV disinfection along with other chemicals in my pool?

Yes, UV disinfection complements the use of chemicals, but it significantly reduces the amount of chemicals needed, such as chlorine. This improves water quality and reduces eye and skin irritation.

Is UV disinfection safe for children and pets using the pool?

Absolutely. UV disinfection does not use dangerous chemicals and does not affect the health of children or pets. In fact, by reducing chlorine use, you help prevent eye and skin irritations.

What is the difference between a standard UV system and a saline type for swimming pools?

The UV system eliminates microorganisms using ultraviolet light, while a saline system uses salt to generate chlorine in the pool. Both are effective, but UV disinfection is more environmentally friendly and does not require the storage or handling of salt.

Does the UV disinfection system eliminate pathogens that cause eye irritation?

Yes, UV disinfection eliminates pathogens responsible for eye and skin irritation. By reducing the need for chemicals like chlorine, your pool will be gentler on swimmers' eyes and skin.

Does the UV system also purify water in saltwater pools?

Yes, UV disinfection is fully compatible with saltwater pools. It helps complement water purification and keeps salt and chlorine levels balanced, improving water quality.

How much space do I need to install the UV disinfection system in my pool?

Most UV systems are compact and can be installed alongside existing filters. You only need a small space in the filtration system to install the UV reactor and the necessary connections.
