Reliable UV Water Treatment for Aquatic Environments

UV Water Disinfection for Aquatic Applications

Commercial and public aquatic facilities face increasing pressure to maintain high water quality while reducing chemical use. UV Guard’s aquatic UV disinfection system provides an effective, chemical-free method for treating water in pools, hydrotherapy centres, fountains and recreational water spaces.

Using ultraviolet light, these systems inactivate over 99% of waterborne microorganisms, including chlorine-resistant pathogens, while also breaking down chloramines (combined chlorine), the by-product of chlorine reacting with perspiration and urine. Reducing chloramines not only improves water quality, but also improves air quality and user comfort by minimising skin, eye and respiratory irritation.

Aquatic UV disinfection systems can reduce chlorine usage by up to 90%, helping operators meet public health regulations while cutting back on chemical handling and costs. They also reduce the need for frequent water replacement and backwashing, which supports sustainability and lowers water bills.

UV Guard systems are trusted by councils, swim schools, rehabilitation centres and aquatic parks to provide consistently clean, clear water. Our systems, including the Armour, S-Series, and X-Series models, are a great fit for these applications.
