Quick Answer
The Alpha UV Swimming Pool UV Disinfection System uses Philips medium-pressure UV-C lamps to destroy chloramines and Cryptosporidium in pool recirculation water — reducing chlorine consumption by 50–80%, eliminating eye irritation and chlorine smell, and delivering 4-log Cryptosporidium kill (which chlorine alone cannot achieve). Sized 5,000 to 5,00,000 LPH, SS316L marine-grade chamber.
Reduce pool chlorine by 50–80%, eliminate chloramines, kill Cryptosporidium
Swimming pool UV systems use Philips medium-pressure UV-C lamps that emit a polychromatic UV spectrum specifically effective for chloramine photolysis. Chloramines — not chlorine itself — cause the characteristic eye irritation, skin irritation, and 'chlorine smell' of poorly managed pools. UV destroys chloramines as pool water passes through the UV chamber, dramatically improving the bathing experience while reducing chlorine chemical costs. For hotel and resort pools where guest experience directly affects review scores, UV is a measurable quality improvement. Alpha UV System pool systems are sized based on your pool recirculation flow rate and bather load.

Every Alpha UV System reactor geometry is validated through CFD simulation using ANSYS Fluent. The analysis below shows velocity streamlines and UV dose distribution across the reactor cross-section, confirming that minimum dose targets are met across the entire chamber volume — not just at the chamber centreline.

Philips medium-pressure UV-C emits a polychromatic spectrum that photolyses chloramines — the compounds responsible for eye irritation and 'chlorine smell'. Destroying chloramines as water recirculates reduces the free-chlorine demand needed to maintain sanitizer residual, cutting total chlorine consumption by 50–80%.
Yes. Cryptosporidium oocysts are highly chlorine-resistant — chlorine alone at typical pool concentrations does not inactivate them. Alpha UV pool systems deliver 40 mJ/cm² UV dose which achieves greater than 4-log (99.99%) Cryptosporidium inactivation, meeting WHO Europe pool water guidelines.
Yes. That characteristic smell is chloramines, not chlorine itself. UV destroys chloramines as pool water passes through the chamber, eliminating the odour and associated eye and skin irritation — a measurable guest-experience improvement for hotel and resort operators.
Sizing is based on pool recirculation flow rate (LPH) and expected bather load. Alpha UV engineers calculate UV dose for your specific pool volume, turnover rate, and bather density — not from generic pool-volume tables.
