Ultraviolet Pools

According to PSN Pool and Spa News (Jan 2017), "...the ultraviolet disinfection market will expand to reach an estimated value of $2.5 billion in 2019. Based on a $993 million value in 2012, New York-based Persistence Market Research also predicts a compound annual growth rate of 14.1 percent in the years from 2013 to 2019.The surge is anticipated due to the replacement of traditional chlorine-based disinfection with UV technology — a technique, findings suggest, that many consumers, companies, and government entities see as a lower-cost maintenance option."

Swimming and other water-related activities are excellent ways to get the physical activity and health benefits needed for a healthy life. However, they are not risk-free. CDC’s Healthy Swimming website provides information for all groups of individuals involved in a healthy and safe swimming experience about how to maximize the health benefits of swimming while minimizing the risk of illness and injury.

Regular care of your private pool or hot/tub spa is important to keep the water clean and balanced and your equipment functioning properly.

One question that frequently comes up in conversation is: “What is the cost of operating a UV system”? There seems to be a misunderstanding that ultraviolet sanitation systems are not only expensive to purchase, but also expensive to operate. In fact, not only is the purchase price relatively inexpensive, but also operation of a UV system is very inexpensive.
Our lamps 58W each, so the cost per lamp is the same as it would be for operating a 60W light bulb. Therefore, consumption is merely 0.06 kWh. Calculating the exact cost will depend on the price per kWh of your provider and the number of hours your pump operates per day.
