UV water treatment offers an effective, natural disinfection solution. It produces healthy, pure, non-chemical water. This technique is applied to waters used for spa treatments, thalasso (seawater) or balneotherapy (freshwater).
UV disinfection system applied to thermalism, thalassotherapy, balneotherapy
To guarantee optimum water disinfection, the principle of the UV treatment system is based on :
- A UV-C disinfection device, installed on the filtration circuit, and through which the water circulates. Subjected to the radiation of the UV-C lamp, bacteria, viruses and algae are eliminated and no harmful by-products are produced.
- A dosing pump also installed on the pool’s water treatment circuit.
- Automatic pH control, to be added as an option, depending on pool volume or water temperature.
If you’re looking for an effective disinfection system for your spa, our complete range of saltwater UV reactors can be consulted online, and design can be carried out on this page.
Disinfection system benefits
In addition, producing healthy water, without any risk of contamination by microorganisms, UV water treatment is also part of an environmental approach:
- For your health, water treatment without the addition of harmful pool products guarantees allergy- and respiratory-risk-free swimming (non-chemical).
- It also provides additional value for the environment, ensuring crystal-clear, odor-free water.
- The absence of chlorine makes for a safe, environmentally-friendly process.
- UV treatment represents cost savings, thanks to extended plant lifetimes and simple, reliable, long-lasting equipment.
- Last but not least, the system can be installed and maintained quickly and easily.
Sizing advice: UV disinfection applied to swimming pools and spas
On the UV reactors for fresh water page, many solutions are proposed (up to a unit flow rate of 130 m3/h). For higher flow rates, up to 130 m3/h, please contact us!
- Select ““.
- Select the water source to be processed, e.g. “Thermalism, thalasso, balneotherapy”.
- Enter the flow rate to be treated (for example 25 m3/h)
- Adjust the cost of electricity in your country (for example 0.09€ for France; 0.23€ for Germany)
- Let 30 mJ / cm² (or adapt)
- Specify the temperature of the water (normally, between 5 and 40°c is sufficient)
- Please enter your email address, we will send you the design right away
In any case, to ensure optimal disinfection and to determine whether prefilters are necessary, it is recommended that a source water analysis be performed with these parameters:
- Iron
- Hardness
- Turbidity
- Manganese
- Suspended solids (TSS)
- UV Transmittance
