Product information
Stainless steel devices: with a high flow capacity. Nirox UV-C systems are the pinnacle of water treatment using UV rays. These professional devices were developed for the disinfection and hygiene of drinking water. Now they are available to demanding koi enthusiasts and owners of natural swimming pools.
ADVANTAGES
- Solid 316L stainless steel housing (ray reflection)
- Energy savings thanks to electronic ballast (no magnetic ballast)
- IP65 jet-water protected (flexible positioning)
- Vertical positioning (therefore greater efficiency with less pollution)
CHOOSING THE CORRECT DEVICE
The choice of the correct UV-C device is determined by the water flow rate. The latter specifically determines the radiation intensity, expressed in mJ/sec.
The required radiation intensity depends primarily on the type of pond and its fish population. Scientific studies have demonstrated the radiation rates needed to block microorganisms. For ornamental ponds, 8 to 10 mJ is required; for swimming pools and ponds with high fish density, it is between 16 and 25 mJ. Many types of algae perish at a radiation level of 5 mJ. Legionella is rendered harmless at a dosage of 19 mJ or higher. A koi or swimming pond requires a higher dose to combat harmful organisms.
