This unit has been specifically designed to help prevent green water in swimming pools and swimming ponds. It works by emitting 254nm UV light inside a sealed tube, damaging and destroying single celled algae which cause green water. This clarifier will help clear green water and prevent it coming back.
No More Red Eyes
Chloramines are the by-product of the reaction that takes place when chlorine reacts with waste brought into the swimming pool by bathers. High chloramine (combined chlorine) levels are the cause of red eyes, itchy skin and the chlorine odour that is often associated with swimming pools. Low pressure UV-C breaks down monochloramines reducing the associated symptoms and the amount of chemicals required to keep the water clean and safe, allowing the pool to be operated at a lower free chlorine level.
Easy to Install
The CUV is installed in the plant room after the filter and before the salt water chlorine generator or tablet feeder if used, on the return line to the pool. Every CUV is simple to install and is supplied with pre-fitted stainless steel mounting brackets that allow you to fix the unit horizontally or vertically. All units are supplied with 1 ½" male threaded unions.
Designed for Best Performance
The design of the CUV optimises flow rates and improves energy efficiency, with the sole focus to deliver optimum performance at all times to clarify swimming pool water. They come with high output UV bulbs powered by energy efficient ballasts, all housed within a watertight, robust housing that is fused with thermal overload protection. Made from HDPE for its highly reflective properties, the unit is fully UV stabilised and its tough outer casing has translucent ends that glow when the UV is operational. The unit is fully C E and UL compliant and is supplied as standard as 50Hz. A 60Hz model is available.
Minimal Maintenance
The effectiveness of UV bulbs diminishes over time therefore the bulbs will need to be replaced periodically. CUV bulbs will last for 9000 hours or two years (assuming that the pool filtration system is operational for 24 hours a day for 6 months of the year). We also recommend replacing the quartz sleeves at the same time to preserve the light efficiency of the unit.
Salt Chlorination Compatible
The CUV is fully compatible with salt water chlorine generators, allowing for a lower level of chlorine to be used whilst still enjoying completely safe swimming pool water.
NOTE:
It si important to ensure that a residual sanitiser (such as Chlorine or Bromine) is present in the water to keep the water clean and healthy to swim in.
