Size secondary sanitization systems for your pool. Calculate required UV dosage and Ozone output to reduce chemical reliance and kill resistant pathogens. Modern secondary systems provide an additional layer of protection against chlorine-resistant parasites like Cryptosporidium.
UV light destroys the DNA of bacteria and viruses, effectively neutralizing them. It also breaks down irritating chloramines, leading to better air and water quality.
No. Ozone is a powerful oxidizer that works while the pump is running, but it has zero residual. You still need a low level of chlorine to provide continuous sanitization.
Most residential UV bulbs are effective for about 9,000 to 12,000 hours of operation, which typically means replacing them once every one to two seasons.
