Health risks is swimming pools and their prevention

The chemical compound trichloramine ( Part of combined chlorine) becomes carcinogenic at high concentrations and can trigger asthma, allergies, skin irritation and dryness, and eye irritation. It is the compound behind the typical “chlorine” smell associated with swimming pools. In essence, a pool with a strong chlorine smell indicates high levels of bound chlorine and is NOT healthy. Additionally, trichloramine contributes to the corrosion of materials within swimming pools and indoor pool structures. Pools on chlorination and filtration only do are prone to chlorine-resistant bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Legionella, Mycobacterium avium, and Cryptosporidium. These bacteria can withstand typical chlorine concentrations found in pools and can cause severe or even deadly ilnesses. The parasite giardia lamblia – causes severe diarrhoea

That harsh “chlorine pool” smell? It’s actually trichloramine, a chemical compound of bound chlorine that is carcinogenic at higher concentrations and linked to asthma, skin irritation, and even damage to pool equipment. The concentration of disinfecting chlorine can be reduced to 0.5 mg/l. The concentration of disinfecting chlorine is 0.7-1 mg/l. Chlorine dosage 100%

Ensure healthy water and a pleasant environment with UV systems featuring medium-pressure UV lamps, which simultaneously disinfect water and remove harmful Trichloramine. Standard low-pressure UV lamps cannot achieve this, which is why the German standard DIN 19643 for public swimming pool water treatment mandates the use of UV systems with medium-pressure lamps. This advanced technology, previously exclusive to public pools, is now available for private pools. It also allows for the reduction of disinfecting chlorine concentration to 0.3 mg/l.

The most advanced mediu-pressure UV system on the market. Permanent Disinfection & Destruction of Unhealthy Trichloramine in One Compact System with Unique LifeAGE® Technology. Trichloramine causes: asthma, pool odor, red eyes, drying and burning of the skin, corrosion. The unique LifeAGE® technology will reduce operating costs by up to 50% compared to standard UVM systems, extend the lifetime of UVM lamps by up to 100%, ensure automatic regulation of the UVM lamp radiation performance according to the current pool water pollution. Reduction of chlorine dosage by up to 50%.
