If you’d like an alternative to chlorine for pool disinfection, think about using one of our copper ionisers with UV-C.
The UV kills the bacteria and the copper provides a lasting disinfectant in the water, without needing constant chlorine to be added.
Besides the hassle of buying storing and working with chlorine, avoid the chlorine smell and enjoy the health benefits for your family by swimming in a chlorine-free pool.
This combination of UV-C and copper electrolysis means you can have an (almost) chlorine-free pool!
With the Blue Lagoon Copper Ionizer UV-C you have to test your pool water once every two weeks. You only need to test your water values with the supplied test strips and, if necessary, adjust the device to the correct level.
Other ionizer systems dose approximately 2 ppm copper in your pool water. With Blue Lagoon Copper Ionizer UV-C, a dose of 0,7 ppm will be enough to fully and safely disinfect your pool. This device is able to reduce the chlorine concentration up to 100%!
The science behind it:
UV-C
UV light at a wavelength of 254 nanometers affects the cell’s RNA structure, preventing bacteria from multiplying and thereby inactivating the organism. UV light is one of the most commonly used forms of water disinfection.
Copper ionization
Electrically charged copper ions (Cu2+) in the water search for particles of opposite polarity, such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. Positively charged copper ions form electrostatic compounds with negatively charged cell walls of microorganisms.
These compounds disturb cell wall permeability and cause nutrient uptake to fail. As a result, bacteria are no longer able to multiply and eventually die. The ions remain active until they are absorbed by a microorganism.
