UV-C lamp – hot tub disinfection using ultraviolet radiation
A device that disinfects water using short-wave ultraviolet light and can eliminate viruses, bacteria and algae. It is not used on its own; a reduced dose of a disinfecting agent, such as chlorine or hydrogen peroxide, is always added to the water as well. Like an ozonator, it can eliminate combined chlorine. It is a better option than an ozonator for supporting water disinfection. The effectiveness of the UV-C lamp tube gradually decreases, and after approximately two years the tube needs to be replaced even if it is still lit. Modern pool water treatment systems can no longer do without a UV-C lamp, and these lamps are installed in all facilities where the water is subject to greater contamination.
