How does the UV system sanitize the pool water?
A. As pool water is circulated through the wet reactor chambers of the Series 3 UV system, one or more UV-C germicidal lamps contained in the reactor(s) expose the pool water containing bacteria, viruses, algae spores, pathogens and microorganisms, to the high intensity light waves emitted by the UV-C lamp(s). This causes the DNA of these pathogens to be disrupted and unable to multiply. Without the ability to multiply, these pathogens die and are rendered harmless. It is easy to understand that bacteria laden water enters the reactor, and drinking quality water leaves the reactor back to the pool. Consult the Technical link for a more technical explanation of this process. (Note: While drinking quality water exits the Series 3 UV system, it is not intended for use in sanitizing drinking water and should not be used as such. Drinking water sanitizers have different technical requirements (alarms, etc) that do swimming pool UV systems) While the Series 3 UV system is available with an i
