Ultraviolet Interest Soars In UK Leisure Industry

atg UV Technology have reported soaring interest in the application of Ultraviolet protection by the UK leisure industry over the last 12 months, and have seen the inclusion of Ultraviolet units become standard practise across a number of leading UK leisure operators.

atg UV believe the industry leap forward to UV protection is driven equally by both public demand for more luxury bathing environments and increased education and understanding on the benefit of installing a UV system.

atg UV, an industry leader in Ultraviolet treatment have warranted their success in the leisure market to their break through ECF system range, which was designed and engineered specifically to suit the needs of the Swimming and Leisure industry, catering for a range of aquatic applications ranging from spa's and diving pools to splash pads and full scale water theme parks.

As a flagship unit in the atg UV product range, the state-of-the-art ECF system allows leisure operators to protect against harmful waterbourne micro-organisms such as e-coli and Legionella. Unlike traditional chemical treatment methods, the effectiveness of UV systems are not limited to certain micro-organisms, and will provide an effective barrier against all known bacteria, viruses and pathogenic micro-organisms, including chlorine resistent organisms such as Cryptosporidium.  

Additionally, UV treatment is also used to break down chloramines, resulting in a more pleasant and inviting leisure environment for customers, reducing ‘Red Eye', skin irritations and the often overpowering chlorine smell associated with indoor swimming facilities. The elimination of chloramines also produces crystal clear, sparkling water, and vastly reduces the need for taxing shock treatments and backwashes.

Ultraviolet systems such as atg UV's ECF range offer operators an exceptionally compact solution that provides a high output, allows for ease of installation/maintenance and minimizes pressure drops.

When coupled with a monitoring system such as atg UV's SPECTRA, operators can view information on UV dose and lamp intensity, whilst a built in data logger stores performance data which can be easily downloaded to a PC or Laptop for review.

The ECF range plus service, spares and advice on Ultraviolet technology is available now from atg UV. For more information on please call: +44 (0)1942 216161.
