Chlorine helps disinfect pool water, but its reaction with contaminants introduced by swimmers can produce chloramines associated with odour and irritation. UV or ozone systems can support treatment and help reduce chloramines, while disinfectant levels and water quality continue to be monitored and controlled.
New Pool considers supplementary treatment options as part of an integrated system suited to each pool and its use. Adding these systems does not automatically justify reducing chlorine levels or replace regular water monitoring.
UV treatment
Ultraviolet systems pass the circulating water through a chamber with UV lamps. The light disrupts microorganisms as the water flows through, before it returns to the pool.
- Helps break down chloramines.
- Supports disinfection as part of an integrated treatment system.
- Installed in the plant room as part of the filtration circuit.
Ozone treatment
Ozone is a strong oxidiser generated on site and injected into the circulating water, where it breaks down contaminants before the water returns to the pool.
- Helps break down contaminants and chloramines.
- Provides supplementary treatment while disinfectant levels continue to be monitored.
- Requires correct design and ventilation of the plant room.
Designing the right system
The right treatment depends on the pool’s size, how many people use it, and whether it is residential, commercial or public. Our engineers design the filtration and treatment system as one coordinated package, so water quality stays consistent and maintenance stays manageable.
