Disinfection kills algae, bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms in the water. The process also leaves the water looking clear and clean. Hellebrekers offers its customers four water disinfection technologies.
UV-C technology
Disinfection with UV-C light is often used in conjunction with filters and chlorine disinfection. The radiation emitted by the UV-C light unit neutralises bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms and prevents their multiplication. In addition to neutralising microorganisms, UV-C technology can also reduce the concentration of combined chlorine in a swimming pool.
Chemical disinfection
Chlorine is used for chemical disinfection. Chlorination can be done in several ways, such as a metering pump that adds chlorine to the swimming pool water or chlorine tablets for small swimming pools.
Salt electrolysis
A popular disinfection method that results in less chlorine in swimming pool water is salt electrolysis. In a tank, a salt solution is separated into sodium and chloride using membrane technology. The chloride is then pumped into the swimming pool water as a disinfectant. Although salt electrolysis still uses chlorine, transport and storage of chlorine are no longer necessary as the chlorine is produced on site when needed.
