Is it time to replace your Ultraviolet Disinfection System?

Ultra Violet systems are used for inactivation of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, molds, and pathogens in pool water. The UV light causes permanent damage to the DNA found in these microorganisms. Once the DNA becomes damaged the organism is unable to carry out its function and quickly dies.

Many facilities have been using first generation Triogen, Hanovia and ETS (to name a few) UV systems for many years and they are reaching the end of their service life. As these systems are exposed to chemicals & heat inherent in pump rooms, this can have detrimental effects on the air-cooled circuitry over time. PCB and transformer technology have changed, and parts can be hard to source. These are a couple key challenges we see in the field.

If you have determined your UV system is ready for replacement, there are many benefits to the ETS Wafer™ units to evaluate & consider.

The ETS- WF are the next generation of medium pressure UV systems. The unique UV chamber design offers the most compact and easily serviceable units available in the market today. A perfect solution for new pools or retrofit projects.

Wafer UV Generator info

ETS Wafer™ systems have a vastly smaller (compact) footprint for the reactor which means the new unit can be hung in the pipework rather than requiring a housekeeping pad. This can open up needed floor space or allow install that is easier to service at standing level.

Parts are consolidated over older units which allows better stocking options and faster availability to operators.

Modern dose pacing combined with a 4/20mv flowmeter can allow targeting dose to be applied at all times saving electricity as well as chlorine from burn-off.

New lamp ballasts allow adjustment to of power output between 30-100% of ability therefore allowing adjustment to changing water conditions. Much better than previous, where there was limited adjustment of only 50% or 100% .
