1) Ozone Disinfector

Ozone disinfectors generate ozone by applying electricity. Ozone can oxidize and decompose the enzymes required for bacterial internal glucose, causing bacteria to be inactivated and killed, resulting in a good sterilization effect. However, attention should be paid to the ozone concentration. Ozone has an irritating effect on the human respiratory mucosa, and the concentration should not exceed 0.15 ppm;

2) Ultraviolet Disinfector

Ultraviolet disinfectors use lamp irradiation to break the molecular chemical bonds in microorganisms, resulting in high sterilization efficiency and speed. Furthermore, no chlorine is added during disinfection, and no toxic gases or harmful byproducts are produced. However, ultraviolet disinfection does not have continuous disinfection capabilities and generally needs to be used in conjunction with other long-acting bactericides.

3) Salt Chlorine Generator

Salt chlorine generators mainly produce hypochlorous acid through electrolysis of salt, and the hypochlorous acid then dissolves in water to produce sodium hypochlorite. Although, like chlorine tablets, it uses chlorine for disinfection, the sodium hypochlorite disinfectant produced by the salt chlorine generator is harmless to the human body, solving the health problem of chlorine exceeding the standard in traditional chlorine-containing disinfectants. It has now become the mainstream disinfection method abroad.

The above are the three main types of disinfectants for pool water treatment equipment summarized by the editor. They are important components of water treatment equipment. If the disinfectant is improperly selected or used, the overall function of the water treatment equipment will not be effectively utilized. Therefore, after reading this article, everyone should pay attention to the selection of disinfectants and choose the appropriate type of disinfectant according to the actual situation of the swimming pool.
