Swimming Pool Water: The use of UV for destruction of combined chlorine
by Ing A Beyer, Ing H Worner and BaE R van Lierop
Summary:
The use of UV disinfection in swimming pools
for destruction of combined chlorine has been
tested and proven to be a cost effective and
successful solution.
In addition
to the above mentioned facts it offers following advantages:
. A more healthy pool environment
. Lesser waste water disposal
. Lesser backwashing of filters, which can be time-consuming
. A second disinfection technology that offers microbial control on those (few)
micro organisms that are difficult to control with chlorine
UV is simple to operate and perfectly safe to use.
Wallace and Tiernan have a leading position worldwide
in selling chlorination systems and pool equipment
technology. With the recent expansion of a new generation
of UV equipment products we now offer a complete concept
to the swimming pool industry. There is a direct relation
between chlorination of the water and the actual destruction
of chloramines. Sizing the UV system incorrectly will
have an impact on the free chlorine level in the pool
or could result in a too low chloramine destruction
level. Being able to offer these two disciplines,
Wallace & Tiernan is in a unique position to take
responsibility for both processes carefully steering
away from the scenario that product supplier A, who
delivered the chlorine disinfection equipment, holds
product supplier B, who supplied chloramine destruction
equipment, responsible. And vice versa.
