What is an UV sterilizer?

An UV sterilizer is a device that utilizes ultraviolet (UV) light to disinfect and sterilize surfaces, air, and water by destroying the DNA of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. UV sterilizers typically consist of a UV lamp enclosed in a protective housing that emits UV-C light at a wavelength of 254 nanometers, which is highly effective at neutralizing pathogens. As water passes through the sterilizer chamber, exposure to UV-C light renders harmful microorganisms unable to replicate or cause infections, thus purifying the environment.

Why do you use an UV sterilizer?

The primary purpose of using an UV sterilizer is to ensure the cleanliness and safety of water by eliminating harmful pathogens. UV sterilizers are commonly employed in healthcare settings, laboratories, water treatment facilities, and food processing plants to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and maintain hygiene standards. In medical contexts, UV sterilization is utilized to disinfect medical equipment, surfaces, and air in hospital rooms. Additionally, UV sterilizers are employed in water treatment systems to purify drinking water and eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses, safeguarding public health.

How to choose an UV sterilizer?

When selecting an UV sterilizer, several factors should be considered to ensure its effectiveness and suitability for specific applications. Firstly, it’s important to choose an UV sterilizer with the appropriate UV-C wavelength (typically 254 nm) for optimal germicidal efficacy. The sterilizer’s power output and exposure time are also critical factors influencing its disinfection capabilities. Additionally, the quality of the housing should be evaluated to ensure suitability with the intended use, prioritize stainless steel housing. By considering these factors, you can make informed decisions when choosing an UV sterilizer that meets your disinfection needs and regulatory requirements.

“What is an ozone generator?”

refers to a device used to circulate water in both a swimming pool and a spa (or hot tub). These pumps serve similar functions but are designed to meet the specific needs of each type of water feature. Here are some key points about pool pumps and spa pumps:

Why do you use an ozone generator?

Water treatment: ozone generators are employed in water treatment systems to disinfect and purify water by killing bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Ozone is highly effective at oxidizing organic and inorganic pollutants, improving the taste, odor, and clarity of drinking water and wastewater.

Swimming pool and spa treatment: ozone generators are utilized in swimming pools and spas to reduce the reliance on chlorine and other chemical sanitizers. Ozone effectively kills bacteria, algae, and other pathogens in water, helping maintain clean and safe swimming environments.

How to choose an ozone generator for water treatment or swimming pool?

Flow rate: check what is the required flow rate to treat efficiently your water. We can help you for this, thanks to our 25 years experience in water treatment.

Ozone output capacity: determine the ozone output capacity required to treat the volume of water in your swimming pool or water treatment system effectively. The ozone output is typically measured in grams per hour (g/h). Consider factors such as the size of the pool or needs for water treatment system, water flow rate, and desired level of disinfection.

Ozone contact time: consider the required contact time between ozone and water to ensure effective disinfection. Factors such as water temperature, flow rate, and the presence of organic or inorganic contaminants can influence the contact time needed for adequate disinfection. We can produce ozone generators with a contact chamber suiting your needs.

What is a chemical-free water treatment system?

A chemical-free water treatment system is a technology designed to purify water without the use of traditional chemical agents such as chlorine or bromine. Instead, these systems employ various alternative methods such as ultraviolet (UV) sterilization, ozone treatment, both of them, and advanced filtration techniques to remove impurities and pathogens from the water. UV sterilization utilizes ultraviolet light to deactivate microorganisms present in the water, while ozone treatment involves the use of ozone gas to oxidize and eliminate contaminants. Filtration systems rely on physical barriers or media to trap particles and pollutants, ensuring the water is clean and safe for consumption or other purposes.

What is UBO® (Ultra Bio Ozone) patented technology?

UBO® (Ultra Bio Ozone) systems represent a great advancement in water treatment technology, integrating ozone and UV based purification with top filtration processes to achieve exceptional water quality. These systems utilize ozone, a powerful oxidizing agent, to effectively disinfect and sanitize water by destroying bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. It also include UV light sterilization to deactivate microorganisms present in the water
The ozone is generated and introduced into the water inside the system, where it quickly oxidizes contaminants, leaving behind clean and purified water. In addition to ozone treatment, UBO® systems incorporate advanced filtration thanks to its top grade filter media, with a lifetime up to 15 years. This technology produce a water that is not only free from harmful pathogens but also clear, odor-free, and environmentally sustainable. UBO® systems are utilized in swimming pools and spas water treatment, and also for industrial processes, aquaculture, and drinking water production.

What are the benefits of using a chemical-free water treatment system UBO®?

Using a chemical-free water treatment system offers numerous benefits for both health and the environment. Firstly, by eliminating the need for chemical additives like chlorine, these systems produce water that is free from harmful byproducts such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and chloramines, which have been linked to adverse health effects including respiratory issues and certain types of cancer. Additionally, chemical-free treatment methods are environmentally friendly as they reduce the release of toxic substances into water sources and minimize the ecological impact of water treatment processes. Furthermore, these systems require less maintenance and produce water that is gentler on skin and hair, making them ideal for swimming pools, spas, and household water supply systems.

How to choose a chemical-free water treatment system UBO®?

Consider factors such as the flow rate, capacity, and installation requirements of the UBO® system to ensure it meets the demands of the intended application. These systems do exist in 2 versions: UBO® and UBO® Full. The UBO® series are providing chemical-free water treatment and must be installed after your existing filtration. The UBO® Full series are moreover integrating the filtration system, which means you have an all-in-one, eco-friendly system able to manage the water quality of your swimming pool or spa. All UBO® systems come with an electrical heater or an optional heat pump. A range of options is available such as automatic pH/ORP management, automatic backwash system, online monitoring, and a lot more!

For existing swimming pools, please note that the position of discharge nozzles must be checked by us before installing such a system.
