POOL WATER TREATMENTS & SYSTEMS
Products To Create A Clean, Clear And Safe Water Setting Whether in a domestic or commercial setting, providing a clean and safe environment is an absolute must for any swimming pool owner. When it comes to pool water treatments (and putting UV only systems aside), traditional methods are still popular, effective and proven, but with an everincreasing range of alternative products and systems on offer, is there such a thing as the best solution? With numerous options available for a variety of settings, this issue we examine what’s on offer By Jon Wadeson

hen it comes to the ownership and operating of swimming pools, effective water treatment and the peace of mind it provides should be at the top of the list of priorities in both residential and commercial environments. After all, these products are supposed to promote enjoyment and relaxation, so the last thing that’s needed for anyone responsible for the running of a pool and the upkeep of the water within it are doubts about cleanliness and therefore the safety of a pool’s users. So implementing the right products and water treatment options that are proven to work time after time is a huge factor for owners and operators. If automated, well that’s better still, particularly when time is tight or when distractions could lead to any manual treatment being missed. Until relatively recently, that meant relying on just a handful of options, however there are now a number of methods available for the precise and perfect treatment of water, most of which are done automatically. This expansion of options has been partly driven by a want to reduce traditional chemical use. Cost, convenience, availability and eco credentials are all factors too. Here, and putting UV aside as we’ve covered that particular sector in the pages prior, we take a closer look at a variety of water treatments and systems which are providing a clean and safe environment for bathers in pools both big and small.

Easy to install and compatible with all types of pools, it is a unique water treatment system that guarantees a perfectly disinfected pool without the addition of chemicals. The water circulates inside a reactor where the UV-C, associated with O’Clear’s exclusive electrodes, eradicates all microorganisms, and thus ensures a flawless remanence with only 0.5g/litre of salt.
