How Does Uv Pool Sanitation Work

UV sanitation systems eliminate chlorine-resistant microorganisms, which are common causes of pool closures. These systems reproduce UV radiation inside light chambers via powerful lamps, which emit germicidal UV-C light that is used to disinfect pool and spa water.

Does UV work for pools?

Ultraviolet is considered the best available technology for swimming pool disinfection. Studies show that in chemical disinfection, 90% of the chemicals are used for oxidation, and 10% for sanitation. Ultraviolet does both.

How long does a UV light last in a pool?

All UV lamps are rated at 13,000 hours (or 18 months) of useful life.
