UV-C & disinfection Archives

UV-C & disinfection for swimming pools

Ultraviolet treatment works alongside your existing water care rather than replacing the circulation system. Water is pushed through a closed chamber in which one or more low pressure UV lamps sit inside a quartz sleeve, and the short-wave light acts on micro-organisms as they pass. Because the light does nothing once the water has left the chamber, a UV unit is normally fitted after the filter and combined with a residual disinfectant, while allowing many pool owners to work with lower chemical dosing than before. Here you will find units from Blue Lagoon, Xclear, Norsup and VGE Pro, plus the combination systems that add ozone, advanced oxidation or ionisation to the same housing.

Wattages, housings and connection sizes

The two figures that decide whether a unit suits your installation are the lamp power and the connection. Power ratings in this range run from 40 W and 75 W for domestic circuits up to 140 W and 200 W for larger pools and commercial work. The correct wattage depends on the flow rate through the pipe and the volume of the pool, so compare the manufacturer’s capacity figure for the model with your pump output and turnover time rather than guessing from pool size alone.

Kapcsolatok: 50–63 mm and 63 mm glue sockets with 1 1/2″ or 2″ female thread, 2″ threaded stainless steel bodies, and DN65 flanged, DN110 and DN160 versions for larger pipework.
Pressure ratings: units rated 2 bar and 2.5 bar, which should be checked against the working pressure of your filter circuit.
Housing materials: stainless steel 316L for pressure installations and HDPE bodies on the VGE Pro low pressure systems.
Vezérlés: basic Tech models, Timer versions that track lamp hours, and Control Monitor variants with UV intensity monitoring.

Ozone, AOP and ioniser combinations

Several models do more than irradiate the water. The Norsup AOP 75 unit combines UV with ozone, the two working together in an advanced oxidation process so that oxidation continues briefly inside the reactor. Blue Lagoon offers Ioniser versions in 40 W and 75 W, which add copper and silver ion release to the UV chamber, and the Xclear Tech UV-C unit with two connections is built for installations where an extra port is needed.

These combination units follow the same sizing logic as plain UV: check the socket and thread, the pressure rating and the electrical supply, and leave enough straight pipe and clearance beside the housing so the lamp and sleeve can be drawn out for service. A unit mounted hard against a wall or ceiling quickly becomes difficult to maintain.

Lamps, quartz sleeves and seals

UV output falls gradually even while the lamp still lights, which is why Timer and Control Monitor models count running hours or measure intensity. Replacement is a seasonal job on most installations; follow the interval given for your model rather than waiting for a visible failure. When ordering parts, work from the exact type name and wattage printed on the unit, because a 40 W and a 75 W version of the same series take different lamps and sleeves.

UV lamps: matched to the series and wattage, not interchangeable between housings.
Quartz sleeves: replace if cracked, and clean if scale or biofilm has dulled the glass, as deposits block the light before the lamp itself is exhausted.
O-rings and gland seals: measure the old ring across the inner diameter and the cord thickness before ordering a replacement.
Electrical parts: ballasts, cables and lamp holders, identified by the model name and, where available, the article number on the unit.

Here we list complete UV-C units and combination systems across the common domestic and light commercial sizes, from 40 W glue-socket models for 50–63 mm pipework to 200 W stainless steel and HDPE systems with flanged or DN110 and DN160 connections. Brands include Blue Lagoon, Xclear, Norsup and VGE Pro, with Tech, Timer, Ioniser, AOP and Control Monitor variants side by side so that specification differences are easy to compare.

Product titles carry the socket size, thread, pressure rating and type designation, and VGE Pro items also show the article number, which makes it straightforward to match a replacement to an existing installation or to order the lamp and sleeve that belong to a unit already in service.
