USP’s explained


USP’s explained

Why treat swimming pool water ?

• Untreated bathing water contains pollutants that are harmful to health and is unpleasant.

• It harbours bacteria, viruses and cysts. • Untreated water is a breeding ground for parasites,

mosquitos and other pests. • Untreated water is unsightly and unpleasant. • It is a breeding ground for algae.

USP’s explained

E-COLI CAUSES DYSENTER

PAPILLOMA VIRUS CAUSES PLANTAR

WARTS



PSEUDOMONAS CAUSES EAR, EYE AND

URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

GIARDIA CAUSES SEVERE

DIARRHOEA

USP’s explained

When pool water is treated with ultraviolet light of the appropriate strength and wavelength:

• dangerous micro-organisms and moulds are rendered harmless;

• bathers are protected against illnesses caused by microorganisms that are unaffected by chlorine.

• floating algae are destroyed.

USP’s explained

Ultraviolet (UV) is elektromagnetic radiation • UV -> UV-A, UV-B en UV-C • UV-C (200-280nm) UV-B (280-315nm) UV-A (315-400nm) • UV-C 254 nm

UV-C explained

UV-C disrupts the DNA of microorganism which are inactivated or even destroyed.

UV-C explained

USP’s explained

Reasons for cloudy water:

• Environmental sources • Human sources • Chemical sources • Mechanical reasons

USP’s explained

How to clear up cloudy water: • A pool system (pump – filter etc.) must be designed at

an appropriate size. • Keep the level of chemicals in balance. • Regular cleaning and backwash • A non-hazardous method against cloudy pool water

are UV-C purification systems. UV-C light is very effective at eliminating micro-organisms and chloramines

USP’s explained

USP’s explained

Chemicals in pools • Most pools rely on the same chemicals that have

been in use for over 40 years. • These chemicals will burn your eyes or irritate your

skin. • No doubt that pool chemicals increase the risks of

allergies, asthma, and even some forms of cancer.

Chemicals

Chemicals in pools • Some organic pollutants such as sweat, urine and

other bodily fluids contain nitrogen. • These products decompose to produce ammonia

(NH3). • The ammonia reacts with hypochlorous acid to

produce compounds called chloramines in the water.

Chemicals

Chloramines • very unpleasant "swimming pool" smell. • Cause irritated skin, nose, throat and eyes of bathers. • Chloramines affect the respiratory system, particularly

of children and aggravates asthma. • Attack the fabric of the swimming pool and the pool

building.

Chemicals

UV-C and Chemicals • UV-C breaks the vicious cycle of pool chemicals. • By destroying pathogens there will be a lower chemical

demand. • Toxic chloramines and other disinfection by-products are

safely eliminated by UV-C. • No bad smell, irritation of skin, throat and eyes and no

attacking of the fabric op the pool.

USP’s explained

UV-C and Chemicals • Chlorine increases the pH. When using less chlorine the

pH will not rise as fast Use of pH- or other acid can be reduced.

• Less acid means the bicarbonate level will be stabile longer. Advantages: pH will be more stable en will need less correction. Backwashing can be reduced because bicarbonate level is longer stable.

• Less use of Chlorine means less salt when using saltwater electrolysis.

• Less need of chlorine shock so even more reduction of chlorine.

USP’s explained

USP’s explained

Lower cost: chemicals-energy-maintenance • Less Chlorine (shock), pH - / Acid • Less salt when using saltwater electrolysis • Low investment for lower running costs • Less need of changing water • Because UV-C radiation destroys harmful chloramines

in the water, the materials in and around the pool get affected much less. Maintenance costs will be brought down significantly.

USP’s explained

USP’s explained

No risk of overdosing • When using UV-C nothing is added to the water. UV

radiation can therefore not be overdosed. • UV-C radiation will diminish over time. The UV lamp

must be replaced at the end of their prescribed service life (mostly annually).

• Just because a UV lamp lights up does not mean that it is producing UV at the correct intensity.

USP’s explained

USP’s explained

Non-hazardous & green technology • UV light is an environmentally friendly way to sanitize

pool water. • By destroying micro-organisms and reducing

chloramines, many common pool water troubles belong to the past, with a pleasant swimming experience, crystal clear water and carefree maintenance as a result.

ADVANCED OXIDATION PROCESS

-A.O.P.-

VGE Pro AOP Technology

Make Ozone and UV work together synergetic and get the best of both worlds, and more…


In the first stage, high voltage generated O3 is added to the water in the reaction chamber through a venturi system supported by a booster pump. After a short residence in the reaction chamber the water containing the remaining O3 is being pushed to the UV reactor.


In the second stage, UV energy breaks the bonds in water that contains O3 to form OH (hydroxyl) radicals. The hydroxyl radicals produced are themselves powerful oxidizing agents. (Which also destroy the chloramines in the water.) These two processes combined are known as Advanced Oxidation Process.

UVM vs UVL


UVM vs UVL

Low pressure UV lamps are designed to have the maximum biocide effect, giving excellent disinfection of the swimming pool water.

Of course, if the objective were just disinfection, then (as can be seen from the graph) medium pressure lamps are nowhere near as efficient at doing this as low pressure lamps, since a much lower proportion of their total UV power is produced at the wavelength of maximum germicidal effective-ness.
