Chlorine is the most well-known method for disinfecting our swimming pool, but is it the best option? Currently, we can find many alternatives such as bromine, oxygen, salt electrolysis , or ozone. At Reindesa , we propose an environmentally friendly treatment: ultraviolet radiation .
Ultraviolet (UV) pool treatment is based on the disinfectant properties of ultraviolet radiation. Using a UV-C lamp with a wavelength of 253.7 nm , bacteria are eliminated from the water , as well as chloramines, compounds derived from chlorine and responsible for the characteristic “pool smell.”
The disinfection process involves passing pre-filtered water through a chamber containing two ultraviolet lamps. The emitted UV rays affect the DNA of germs, viruses, bacteria, microbes, algae, and spores, destroying them in a short time.
This system achieves complete disinfection of the water in a safe and efficient manner, while also providing excellent water quality and transparency .
The main advantages of the treatment are:
- Obtaining fresh, clean and clear water .
- Efficient and safe water disinfection .
- UV-C light breaks down combined chlorine .
- Protection of the pool against pathogenic germs.
- Control of the formation of fungi , bacteria and algae.
- It avoids the smell of chlorine and skin and eye irritation (redness of the eyes).
- Reduction in the amount of water to be renewed.
- Reduction of up to 80% in the use of chlorine and other chemicals.
- It respects the environment compared to traditional methods.
