UV Hot Tub System disinfection is a cutting-edge, non-chemical process that uses germicidal UV light rays to sanitize hot tub water. Ultraviolet hot tub disinfection units emit a high intensity germicidal light ray that alters or disrupts the DNA or RNA of targeted organisms such as algae, bacteria, and protozoa. The highly concentrated electromagnetic energy also destroys organic matter found in hot tubs and spas, eliminating the formation of dangerous chlorine by-products. The by-products have been linked to asthma, allergies, and even cancer.
Best information out there. Thank you this wonderful video
Thank you! - have a great day! - Andi
REally good explanation, thank you. I would install this device, but... how can I be 100% sure that the device is safe from shock azards? Thanks!
Thanks for the comment - anything electrical has the potential for shock hazards if not installed correctly so not sure how to answer this apart from the whole unit is plastic housing - no metal so that would help - thanks Andi
Thanks for this, I think I'm going to have a professional install my Clearbright system- have you ever heard of this brand Clearbright?
I havent - sorry no. Thanks for the comment - Andi
Thank you for the info. Are these much more expensive?
Hi Jen, no, I dont think so - here is a link to the product in my online store - shop.buildahottub.com/product/hot-tub-plunge-pool-uvc-treatment/
Thanks :-)
Interesting. Thank you!
Does the UV filter hook into the spa pack?
Hi there, thanks for the comment - no, I nromally power these off the circulation pump, that way it only runs when the circ pump is running. Hope that helps - Andi (ps the circ pump needs to be a 230V pump to do this)
@@Buildahottub Sounds good, thank you.
So it needs to run all day?
Normally, whilst a little unconventional, I power these off the circulation pump. That way, the UV onbly runs when the circulation pump is running - which is what you want really. Thanks - Andi
@@Buildahottub thanks for the video Andy . Really informative
@@Buildahottubwhat if my small 2-person spa doesn't have a circulation pump, it's only a 1hp pump,, the hot tub circulates when the low speed on the pump turns on a few X's throughout the day- this is how the ozonator also activates on this hot tub. The hot tub is only 170 gallon I want to have ozone + UV.
My current hot tub system has a circulation pump that runs 24/7. Does a UVC sanitizer typically run 24/7? My control panel also has an ozonator which runs on a timer system, which could be another option.
Also it looks like the 15w unit you are selling only has a max flow rate of 7.5 m3/hour, whereas my circulating pump is 36-40 GPM (8.2-9.1 m3/hour), so would you recommend getting the 25w unit which supports up to 10 m3/hour?
Hi There, yes, you could do that or the alternative would be to plumb in the 15W with a bypass underneath and a flapper valve that will open should the flow be too much - both options will work well for you - hops that helps - Andi
@@Buildahottub
Thank you for the reply. I now see the bypass option in some of the installation manuals from the manufacturers. That could be a good option.
One other question if you can spare. I see some sites recommending a strainer installed inline to catch broken glass in case the bulb breaks. Any experience with that? It appears that Certikin manufactures one.
Ive never installed a strainer to be honest and have these on hot tubs which have more pressure than pools (not on a jet pump they have to go on their own circulation pump on a hot tub setup)
Hope that helps
