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 ponds.
ADVANTAGES
- Solid 316L stainless steel housing (reflection of rays)
- Energy savings thanks to the electronic trigger (no ballast)
- IP65 jet-water protected (flexible positioning)
- Vertical positioning (thus 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 determines, in particular, the intensity of the radiation, expressed in mJ/sec.
The required radiation intensity depends mainly on the type of pond and its fish population. Scientific studies have demonstrated the radiation levels needed to block micro-organisms. For ornamental ponds, 8 to 10 mJ is needed; for swimming pools and ponds with many fish, it is between 16 and 25 mJ. Many types of algae perish starting from a radiation of 5 mJ. Legionella is rendered harmless at a dosage of 19 mJ or more. A koi or swimming pond requires a higher dose to fight harmful organisms.
