CLEANER WATER
THE ‘LIGHT ENERGY’ WHICH
DESTROYS BACTERIA A lot more swimming pools in the UK are now using a UV or ultraviolet system to maintain water quality. Mostly it is a system used by larger pools but there are units available for the domestic pool owner. The system offers perhaps the most comprehensive cleansing on the market. UV systems work by having already filtered water pumped into a UV chamber. When flowing through the chamber, microorganisms are exposed to and absorb powerful UV light. It is this light energy that destroys or inactivates these ‘bugs’. Once the water leaves the UV chamber it is returned to your pool. Pool owners that have sensitivity issues
towards chlorine can now enjoy the benefits of a UV system by maintaining a lower than normal chlorine residual.
Information on companies which supply suitable UV systems for the domestic market is available from SPATA, the Swimming Pool & Allied Trades Association. n
