cause sore eyes and irritated skin and create
a very corrosive environment for pool
equipment – they are in fact a major cause

people returning to the pool who kept away
before as they were so badly affected by the
chloramines. One boy from a local primary
school couldn’t take part in swimming classes
because of a chlorine allergy, now he happily
takes part with no reaction,” added Gwyn.
In addition, a member of a local
swimming group called ‘Accessible
Aquatics’ had to stop attending as he was
having a skin reaction to chlorine. “He’s
come back and is really enjoying it,” added
one of the group’s volunteers, Elaine
Brown. “In fact, everyone in the group has
nothing but good things to say about the
benefits of the UV system,” she said.
The impacts of the UV system have been
felt beyond the immediate issue of
swimmer comfort. Since the switch to UV
there has been a huge reduction in the
amount of dilution of water required.
“Previously, we had to dump the pool
water every week – this has now been
reduced to just once a month. When you
take into account the increase in visitors
we are now getting, combined with the
reduction in costs for water, lost energy
and chemicals, the savings have been
considerable,” concluded Gwyn.
