ULTRAAQUA UV The biggest problem in chlorinated swimming pool water is that chlorine reacts extremely rapidly with nitrogen compounds in the water to give rise to problematic disinfection by-products (DBP) such as mono-, di-, and trichloramine.
Especially, trichloramine, NCl3, has a very strong irritating effect on the eyes, nose, throat, and bronchial tubes. For several years now, ULTRAAQUA UV has focused R&D activities on dechlorination based on photocatalysis. Through this work, the most important processes and parameters have been identified. On the basis of this knowledge, the MultiRay pool water UV series has been developed.
The ULTRAAQUA Group is constantly involved in R&D projects within this field. Together with the vast practical experience from various swimming pool installations, our team of engineers can offer unmatched support all the way from the project design phase to commissioning.
ULTRAAQUA Group is specialized in advanced pool water treatment and is known for pioneering particle filtration and disinfection technologies. Our mission is to provide the newest technologies available to set new standards in the quality of water disinfection in swimming pools. For complete swimming-pool water solutions, visit InBlue.
The key components of the MultiRay pool water UV-series are very special UV lamps and their adapted electronic lamp drivers. Gas filling and synthetic quartz composition results in a UV emission spectrum optimal for the degradation of chloramine fractions. An additional benefit of the individually fitted electronic high-frequency lamp drivers is a market-leading UV-lamp lifetime of 9000 hours.
Reactor geometries and electronic control systems have been designed to reduce operating costs to a minimum. Large flanged connections and body geometry results in very low head loss even at a max flow rate. The intelligent PLC control enables both automatic lamp dimming and diurnal power variation. Both features add positively to ensure energy-efficient operation.
Material selection and components of high industrial quality guarantee long-term trouble-free operation in the often very hot, humid, and corrosive pool environments. Medium-pressure systems for swimming pools are manufactured from 316L electropolished high-grade steel.
