Clean, Green Ultraviolet Pool Sanitizer Systems
Ultra Violet Light is the greenest family of pool and spa products
Little One’s Swim utilizes ULTRA VIOLET LIGHT as our primary pool sanitizer.
We have a Delta UV unit which deactivates bacteria, germs, viruses and algae without chemicals – including the chlorine-resistant protozoan parasites Cryptosporidium and Giardia. UV systems drastically reduce the use of chlorine. To learn more about the Delta UV systems, which utilize the most advanced, most environmental technology for sanitizing pools or spas, which protect families from exposure to chlorine and it’s by-products, please view www.deltauv.com.
How is UV light used to sterilize water?
The pool water flows around the UV lamp exposing any microorganisms, viruses, bacteria and/or algae to a lethal dose of UV light.
Ultraviolet light penetrates the cell wall of a microorganism and reacts with the microorganisms DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The C=C carbon bond in the molecules of the microorganism is broken causing cellular death. The microorganism is rendered incapable of growing and multiplying. UV is very effective, destroying 99.9% of harmful organisms. After UV light exposure, a strong oxidative effect occurs on any organism that passes through the media, converting algae, pathogens, and viruses into harmless inert byproducts.
Why is UV especially well suited for swimming pool sterilization?
UV has two very impressive effects on swimming pool water. First, UV destroys 99.9% of harmful organisms as they pass through the UV sterilizer chamber. This germicidal benefits of UV has been known for decades. The scientific community recently discovered a second benefit, which is equally impressive as the first. UV almost perfectly unlinks the hypochorous acid from ammonia, destroying unwanted combined chlorine, also known as chloramines. Chloramines are known to cause a host of problems in swimming pools, from the foul odor to burning eyes, skin irritation, and respiratory irritation.
