WATER TREATMENTS & SYSTEMS
Water Treatments That Provide Peace Of Mind Providing a clean and safe water experience is a must for any pool or spa owner, and whilst traditional methods of water treatment are still routinely used, newer technologies have gained in popularity. Putting UV aside, there are numerous other products and systems available which tick all the necessary water treatment boxes. With choices suitable for a variety of settings, we highlight just some of the options By Jon Wadeson

ife for many has never been busier – especially over the last couple of years! There’s a constant flow of ‘things’ that we all have to plan for or contend with day in day out and the chance to just switch off is often sadly out of reach. When it comes to pools and spas, enjoyment and relaxation should be maximised and stress and worry minimised, and that’s true for both commercial and residential settings. So what can pool and spa owners and operators do to lessen the burden of ensuring the water is in the best possible condition? Well a good place to start is by implementing the right products for safe and effective water treatment systems to provide day-to-day peace of mind. Commercial facilities are pretty well set when it comes to automatic water treatment options and with domestic consumers becoming more savvy, now is a good time to show them how to relax, enjoy their pool or spa and smell the coffee not the chloramines!
TRIOGEN OZONE – A BREATHE OF FRESH AIR For those looking to reduce levels of potentially harsh chemical disinfectants, Golden Coast offers a number of different disinfection systems, such as the Triogen O3S.
The ozone-generation units create an active form of oxygen gas that makes for far more powerful water disinfection than chemical methods like chlorine. Triogen O3S is designed for maximum safety. To reduce any risk of a gas leak, the gas is generated and injected under vacuum conditions created by a water-driven venturi. The system greatly lessens the chance of skin and eye irritation by dissolving the ozone gas in the water – destroying choramines, lowering Trihalomethane levels, inhibiting algae growth and oxidising ammonia. The result: substantially better water and air quality in the pool area. “When you’re dealing with chlorineresistant organisms, viruses, bacteria and organic matter, ozone gas is an ideal disinfectant choice,” explained Adam Clark, Sales Director at Golden Coast. “By using ozone, the amount of free chlorine residuals can be cut in half. Domestic pools might only run free chlorine levels of 0.7 ppm using ozone, compared to 2 ppm using other disinfection methods.” Adam adds: “The Triogen units are compact, simple to install and boast high humidity durability, making them an ideal fit for plant rooms in private pools, hotel pools and aquatic applications. They’re built with long-term reliability at the core, with the corona discharge modules designed for ten or more years of operation.”

A prime focus of the science world today is ceramic nano crystal technology, and it is this which is used in the Quantum to create one of the most powerful forms of sterilisation – photocatalytic oxidation. Manufactured by Elecro Engineering and available from Certikin, Plastica and other leading distributors, Quantum eliminates contaminants leaving

water looking fresh and clean. Easy to install, Quantum will give peace of mind as dangerous organisms such as cryptosporidium and adenoviruses are destroyed by the photocatalytic process ensuring pool users are kept safe. Several natural processes occur as the pool water passes through the unit with only pure water returning to the pool. As a result of the processes occurring inside the Quantum including the production of hydroxyl radicals the treated water is free of all oil-based substances such as sun creams and all organics including urea are totally removed resulting in sparkling water. Quantum also reduces the need for chemicals in the pool and helps eliminate the smell of chlorine. Once installed this cost-effective solution requires no maintenance; it is equipped with an intelligent lamp life indicator so when the
