This system is based on the use of lamps that, at a specific power level, penetrate the cell walls of microorganisms and destroy their DNA, thus eliminating viruses, fungi, and other types of microbes.

Therefore, the main advantage of using ultraviolet light is that it minimizes the amount of disinfectant that needs to be added to the pool, since the system has already performed a large part of the water disinfection. Even so, it is necessary to maintain a small amount of disinfectant dissolved in the water. <\/p>\n

Ultraviolet light destroys chloramines, unpleasant-smelling byproducts of chlorine treatment. It is also a very effective disinfectant in itself, which allows pool management companies to drastically reduce chlorine use (usually reduced to a minimum of 0.5 ppm).<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the disadvantage of this process, as with other automated processes, is its lifespan. In this case, it’s due to the dirt that tends to accumulate on the lamps, which reduces the penetration capacity of the rays, thus shortening the system’s lifespan. Reindesa recommends equipment with automatic cleaning; these machines clean themselves at programmed intervals, ensuring maximum effectiveness at all times. <\/p>\n

In conclusion, the result of using ultraviolet light is excellent water quality, without bad odors or eye irritation problems, with lower chemical consumption and substantial savings in replacement water.
