It is annoying when an expensive pool of up to 30m³ has been purchased and after a few weeks it is completely green due to algae infestation. If this pool is now cleaned with chlorine, the water becomes clear again, but chemicals in the water spoil the bathing experience. A modern process that makes much more sense both ecologically and economically is based on the physical principle of UV-C disinfection. In this process, a UV-C disinfection system installed in the water circuit specifically illuminates the water with UV-C light. This dissolves the DNA compounds of algae, causing them to die. This does not affect the smell, taste or composition of the water. The PURION 2001 combines exactly these positive effects. The benefits of this system are manifold: On the one hand, it is easy on the wallet due to low running costs, and on the other hand, red eyes and other effects of chlorine or other chemicals on the human body are a thing of the past. The environment is protected and the user has a water reservoir for the garden with the water of which plants can be watered without any problems.
Due to a wide voltage ballast, this system is designed for a voltage range of 85-264V and can thus be used in many different countries. The system is equipped with a Euro plug and can also be used with an adapter (not included) for other types of plugs.
In order to keep a pool permanently free of algae, the correct coordination between pump and UV-C system is necessary. At least three times the pool content should flow through the UV-C system during the day. The maximum flow rate of 8m³/h should not be exceeded, as this will result in the water no longer being disinfected correctly. In certain cases it is necessary to let the system run longer: This is urgently required, for example, after major rainfall or if the water has been in the pool over the winter.
The UV-C lamp has a natural decrease in performance over the course of its lifetime. We guarantee that after 10,000 hours the lamp will have reached exactly the promised flow rate. After this time the lamp must be changed, the lamp runtime meter and the lifetime monitoring (OTC) will signal the right time. The hours that the lamp is on are counted and the values are output via an LED display. Up to 9,000 hours a green LED lights up, between 9,000 and 10,000 hours the pre-alarm is indicated by a yellow LED and after 10,000 hours a red LED lights up. Thus, the right time to change the lamp is not missed.
In case of an unfavorable initial situation with very many algae, it can be advantageous to use a biological flocculant to support the UV-C system.
In addition to the system, this bundle also includes another spare lamp, the matching mounting frame and a service kit for intensive cleaning.
