Establishing a bio-secure swimming facility begins at the pool design stage. Low pressure UV systems are a proven solution to harmful waterborne pathogen problems and irritating chloramines. Pentair BioShield commercial UV systems provide instant protection against cryptosporidium, giardia and remove chloramines. Vertical standing with flanged base, single-end top-loading lamp and quartz sleeve minimize floor space and maximize serviceability.

 

Features:

• Instant protection against cryptosporidium and other harmful waterborne pathogens
• Significantly reduces chemical odors within enclosed pool area
• Conserve Free-Chlorine by as much as 30% compared to medium pressure UV systems
• Enhanced, state-of-the-art electronic ballast, sized precisely to the lamp's power requirement, ensures optimal UV-C output and maximum "useful lamp life"
• Small footprint: vertical operation reduces required horizontal space, unit can be installed horizontally if necessary
• Cost-effective Schedule 80 solvent welded PVC plastic vessels stand up to corrosive chlorine environments
• High quality American made low-pressure, amalgam UV lamps offer up to 12,000 hours of continuous operation
• Low temperature lamps conserve energy and negate the need for quartz sleeve wiper systems
• Choice of input / output piping connections
• UV vessel water temperature sensor / alarm – protects vessel from temperatures exceeding 120°F

• 40 mJ/cm2 Inactivation of Cryptosporidium and other chlorine tolerant pathogens
• 60 mJ/cm2 Additional breakdown of Chloramines for greatly improved air and water quality

• 5 Lamps, 130 watts
• 200 watts UV-C spectrum output
• Maximum flow rate at 90% UVT 40 mJ/cm2 (GPM): 272
• Maximum flow rate at 90% UVT 60 mJ/cm2 (GPM): 181
• Port size: 6"
• Amps max load @ 120 / 230 VAC
• Maximum PSI: 50
• 6-foot power cord and 20-foot lamp cables

Safe and healthy swimming is a matter of clean water and air conditions. Whether you swim in a residential or public pool, poorly maintained water chemistry and air quality can make you sick. UV has proven to be the solution for dangerous RWI's (Recreational Water Illnesses) and Chloramines (Chemical Irritants). UV Treatment is as natural as sunlight. More specifically, UV-C light is a natural component of the electromagnetic radiation that the Sun emits. Much of the Sun's radiation is absorbed by ozone in the earth's upper atmosphere, but some UV-C light passes through and acts as a natural disinfectant. UV-C light inactivates exposed microorganisms, including those found in surface waters. LP UV lamp life of 12,000 hours, outlast MP lamps by as much as 3 times. Even with the need for additional lamps compared to MP, the high cost and short life of MP make LP UV up to 3 times less costly to maintain.
