UV-Pump

When only chlorine is used, many unpleasant and undesirable by-products are produced. You see, chlorine combines with urine, sun-protection products, sweat and other particles. The results of this can be irritated eyes, skin rashes, breathing problems, and a breakdown of the disinfection properties. UV-C also has the advantage of breaking down the undesirable by-products so their effects are eliminated. When the pump is used in combination with chlorine, fewer chemicals are needed and you can be certain that viruses and bacteria that are unaffected by chlorine will be combated. And you contribute to a healthy living environment for yourself and others.

As we all know, chlorine is a product that is damaging to our environment and our health. It is currently used as a
disinfecting agent in many swimming pools because no affordable alternatives have been available... UNTIL NOW!

Is it still necessary to use chlorine when this pump is used for a private swimming pool?

The UV-C lamp is surrounded by a glass tube made of quartz glass.
This is because quartz glass allows UV waves to pass through.
This is necessary because the water is pumped past the quartz glass tube, allowing the UV-C radiation to do its work destruction of the micro-organisms in the water.

UV is the abbreviation for ultra-violet, and UV-C stands for the wavelength that is used: 254 nanometres (nm). The reason UV-C is used is that this has been shown to be the most effective wavelength for eliminating micro-organisms such as fungi and bacteria. UV-C radiation damages the DNA of the micro-organisms, causing them to become inactive.

The All-in-One UV Pump utilizes a UV-C lamp.
But what is it and how does it work?
