Phillips Technology UV Sysytem
UV disinfection of domestic pools and spas is a chemical-free method of killing bacteria by shortwave ultraviolet light. To ensure a safe and pleasant pool environment without using strong disinfection chemicals, ultraviolet water purification destroys organic pollutants instantly as the water passes through the treatment chamber. The ultraviolet sterilization system we provide for private pools is particularly suitable for users who are sensitive to the usual swimming pool disinfectants, heavy metals from ionic purifiers or allergic to chlorine.Main Benefits of using UV-C treatment.
- High reduction in combined chlorine levels
- Less use of other chemicals for water control
- No red eyes or skin irritation
- No problems for people with asthma or allergies
- No chlorine gas and smells anymore
- Lower cost in chemicals, energy and maintenance
- Improved water clarity
- Clean and fresh water
- Better for the environment then traditional methods
For over sixty years Ultraviolet light technology has been used as a reliable method of disinfecting process water based on performance and savings. In addition to swimming pool and spa application, UV is also widely used in the food and beverage industry, hospitals,breweries,water treatment plants, drinking water, industrial and municipal wastewater, fish farms, aquaculture,pharmaceutical industries and more.How Does UV-C Work?Ultraviolet light is found in the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and x-ray. The UV spectrum is divided into four bands: UV-A long wave (315-400 nanometers), UV-B medium wave (280-315 nm), UV-C short wave (200-280 nm) and VUV vacuum UV (100-200 nm). The UV-C wavelength has a strong ?germicidal? effect on microorganisms that cause bonds to be broken known as Photochemistry. UV Clear? Systems inactivates bacteria, viruses and eliminates floating algae through absorption of UV-C. At 254 nanometers, the light energy penetrates the cell wall of microorganisms and disrupts the DNA chain so that cells cannot replicate. A cell that cannot replicate is considered dead.WarrantyThis product is warranted for 2 years from the date of purchase against any faults due to workmanship.
