Benefits of UVOX:
- crystal clear and natural water
- absolutely safe water
- chlorine free operation
- no irritationing side effects of chlorine
- natural smell and taste of the water
- soft to eyes, hair and skin
- reducing chemicals up to 90 %
- environmentally friendly solution
- cost savings due to minimum consumption of chemicals, water and energy
- minimal maintenance without endangering the water quality
- amortisation of the UVOX equipment typically within 3-5 years
Pool Care without Chlorine
Mostly, disinfection of pool water is by chlorination. In the water chlorine reacts extremly rapidly with ammonia to form chloramines, which irritates eyes, throat, nose and hair to a large extend and even can be dangerous to your health.
The UVOX in combination with UVOX Sonic and / or UVOX Biofilm Remove products can purify your pool water without using chlorine.
Pool Care with Limited Amounts Chlorine
In case limited amounts of chlorine are dosed to the water in order to have buffer disinfection, the UVOX effectively reduces the toxic combined chlorines (Mono-, Di-, Thri chloramines and THM).
The UVOX System combines the UV-Disinfection with the Ozone Oxidation delivering the advanced oxidation process (AOP).
Reduction of bonded chlorine (chloramine) due to OH radicals
The oxygen in the air is converted into ozone and OH radicals by means of a single ultraviolet lamp produced especially for the UVOX system. This air mixture of ozone and OH radicals is injected into the swimming pool water by means of a venturi device.
In order to complete the oxidation process, the UVOX requires a pipeline of approx. 10 – 20 metres long from the UVOX to the pool inlet. This ensures all the ozone generated by the UVOX is oxidised before the pool.
The pool water is also treated by ultraviolet light with the UVOX. As a result, a maximum amount of OH (minus) radicals are formed, which reduces the chloramine and other organic chlorine compounds in a unique fashion without the formation of hazardous byproducts or alteration to the pH value.
The UVOX system guarantees a certain minimum ultraviolet metering, by means of which all ozone in the water is converted into OH radicals. This additional benefit accelerates and optimises the oxidation process.
An activated carbon filter is therefore not required by both systems for ozone removal.
UVOX Biofilm Remover – Pool Tablets
The UVOX Biofilm Remover is only intended for use in combination with an UVOX pool disinfection system. In this case you can operate your swimming pool without Chlorine.
The UVOX Biofilm Remover pool tablet must is recommended to be dosed once a week into the pool water.
The dissolved tablet removes gradually the biofilm from walls, pipes etc. This will lead to an absolutely crystal clear pool water. The UVOX Biofilm Removal tablet does not contain any toxic, anti-algae agents or copper & silver ions.
The major component of UVOX Biofilm Removal tablet is an anorganic salt, which has been successfully is tested by several independent test institutes, like Kema and Labo-Dreva and is graded as environment friendly and harmless to the humans.
Test results show, for example, rainbow trout can survive in case of 66 times of the usual dosing for the pool (66 x 0,3 ppm).
Optimising the UVOX with Ultra Sonics - UVOX Sonic
The UVOX Sonic uses the state-of-art technology of ultra sonic waves. These are applied to:
- The Ozone venturi injection system of the UVOX unit
- Pipelines and dead zones of a pool or natural swimming pond
The ultra sonic waves create cavitation and micro bubbles in the water and greatly increase the contact area of the water with the Ozone which improves the Advance Oxidation Process (AOP)
The ultra sonic wave disrupt algae and biofilm growth significantly reducing the use of cleaning products.
