Water Treatment

Ultra-Violet light units

Phillips UV-C units use stainless steel tube - as shown here - to hold a glass tube that is closed at one end. The UV-C lamp is placed inside this glass tube, and it emits the UV-C radiation within this sealed chamber.

This unit would normally be plumbed into your pool or spa pipework just after the filter, so that the pool's full flow passes through the chamber. The water circulates over the glass tube to expose it to the UV light. This neutralises the bacteria, disrupting the DNA to prevent them from breeding. The highly polished insides of these stainless tubes reflects the UV-C light and increases the efficiency of the units by up to 35%.

• The third - UVC070, is for pools up to 70,000 litres - 15,420 gallons and uses a 75 watt lamp. List price is £557 inc VAT - our special price is £325.
• The fourth unit - UVC140, is for pools up to 140,000 litres - 30,800 gallons and uses two lamps to give a total of 140 watts of UVC output. List price is £1071 inc VAT - our special price is £625.

The lamps are designed to have an effective life of 9,000 running hours - twelve months if you run your pool equipment continuously. They are available through any stockist of Phillips lighting equipment. YOU can replace one of these lamps yourself - as you don't need to be an electrician to do it, and it takes just a few minutes!

Puronizer Ionic Purifier

The Puronizer Ionic Purifier uses electrolysis to release copper and silver ions, thereby providing an extremely efficient method of sterilising pool water.

These electrically charged ions provide an excellent background level of bactericide in swimming pool water, and can drastically reduce the consumption of chlorine as the main disinfecting agent, which saves money on chemicals and can make a real improvement to the water quality for people who have sensitive skin and eyes.

The unit is supplied with a cell unit that is easy to check visually, and theer are three different sizes available:

ION 20: Puronizer for pools up to 20,000 galls - 90 m3,

ION 30: Puronizer for pools up to 30,000 galls - 135m3,

ION 40: Puronizer for pools up to 40,000 galls - 180m3.
