UV light can be divided in four main categories; UV-A, UV-B, UV-C and Vacuum UV. The UV-C spectrum (200 to 280 nanometres) is the most lethal range of wavelengths for microorganisms. UV-C light has the ability to cause permanent damage to microorganisms.
Each type of microorganism requires a specific UV-C radiation exposure rate to successfully complete the disinfection process. The targeted microorganism must be directly exposed to the UV-C radiation long enough for the radiation to penetrate the microorganism?s cell wall. However, it takes only a fraction of a second for UV-C light rays to inactivate waterborne microorganisms by breaking through the microorganism?s cell wall and damaging their DNA. This often totally destroys the organism, or at the very least will impair its ability to reproduce.
The SPECK - Blue Lagoon UV-C Signal has a built in high-frequency electronic ballast. In addition, the device contains an integrated timer that accurately monitors and visualises the hours by changing colour! A warning will be given by a blinking LED when the lamp needs to be replaced. Thanks to the SPECK - Blue Lagoon UV-C Signal your swimming pool water will be disinfected efficiently, safely and the quality of your water will remain excellent. The UV-C of the SPECK - Blue Lagoon UV-C Signal radiation inactivates bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms and stops them from multiplying. This device is able to reduce the chlorine concentration up to 50-80%!
